Chapter 31 FA Fines

At the post-match press conference, a large number of reporters had already poured into the venue, all of them were excited to report the big news for a while, and even some reporters thought that it would be better if the two coaches could fight on the venue.

Not long after, the head coaches of both teams came to the venue at the same time, looking at the two of them looking at each other with iron faces and angry eyes, eager to eat each other, and the situation must be very exciting to think about for a while.

Seeing that the head coaches of the two teams were seated separately, the staff on the scene signaled that they could start the interview. At this time, it was to see who was fast, and finally was preempted by a reporter in the front row.

"Hello, Coach Wise. What were your thoughts on that tackle at the end of the first half? The reporter directly asked the most critical question, and the other reporters at the venue also looked at Wise with eagerness, thinking that with Wise's fiery personality, he would definitely explode.

Sure enough, as expected, after listening to the question asked, Wise first glanced at Port Vale coach Lemmon with hatred, and then said with a serious face: "I think as long as the people who watched this game will not have any doubts about the tackle of the opposing striker at the end of the first half, there is no doubt that it is a retaliatory tackle, for this kind of player, I hope the FA can directly ban him, so as not to harm people again in the future." ”

As soon as Wise's words fell, before the reporters in the audience could ask questions again, Lemmon next to him said directly: "What I want to remind Coach Wise is that for Sojie's tackle at that time, the retaliatory action you said was just one person's opinion, and in my opinion, it was just an ordinary tackle, just a small accident." But then your players rushed straight to Soje and did him a lot of damage, which led to the clash that happened just now, and I think Leeds are mainly responsible. After speaking, he glanced at the angry Wise indifferently.

"Bang!" Wise, who was already angry, slapped the table directly, stood up directly, pointed at Lemon and said, "Accident, you dare to say it's an accident?" Do you dare to say to God that what happened just now was an accident? "Europeans are still more faithful about God, so they don't joke casually.

Lemmon looked directly at Wise and pursed his lips, and said, "Okay, we have different opinions about the situation just now, let's take a glimpse of it for the time being." But according to the information I just received, Sojie has a direct fracture of his right hand, and will be recuperated in the hospital for at least 3-4 months in the future, for such a serious injury, I believe that the FA will punish the murderer severely. Then looking at the reporter who was a little hesitant after listening to his words, Lemon nodded secretly.

Lemmon knew that the tackle was a retaliatory act in every way, and since he couldn't avoid it, he exaggerated the injury on his side, won sympathy, and saw if he could reduce the FA's fine in the future, which was the only way Lemmon could think of.

"Yes, it's only been 3 months! I'm a little disappointed! Wise looked at Lemon with a sneer, for the other party's purpose just now, Wise knew it, but in this way, he wanted to escape this catastrophe, and he couldn't help but think too easily. I have just received the news that due to the retaliatory behaviour of the opposing players, Jonathan Douglas will be sent directly to the best hospital in England for treatment, and even if the operation is successful, he will be recuperating for more than 10 months in the future. ”

"What!" Lemmon was shocked after hearing this, 10 months, this is something he didn't expect at all just now, this can be said to be England's longest injured player in recent years, and the FA will definitely impose the biggest penalty on Port Vale, just at this time, Port Vale must not be able to hide. Thinking about it, Lemmon hated Sojie a little, if it weren't for his behavior, he and the club would not be so passive.

At this time, the audience was already in a bang, the seriousness of this time has been completely different from what the reporters thought, but this is not idle reporters are even more excited, this is the most serious stadium violence in recent years, and the sales will not be low at that time.

"Finally, I would like to state once again that Leeds United will definitely give the FA the most detailed report on this incident, and we will not let those who try to evade responsibility succeed, and the murderers must be severely punished!" As he spoke, a solemn Wise kept banging his fists on the table to show that he was serious about the incident.

With that, Wise turned around and left the scene directly. Port Vale boss Lemmon then reiterated his views and left. Seeing that the two protagonists had left, the reporters who had interviewed enough material also walked out of the venue with an excited face, ready to continue to follow up on the FA's decision in the next few days.

……

On the same day, the violence on the pitch in the English League One appeared on the Internet overwhelmingly, and netizens rushed to discuss it. Especially the next day, with the big and small newspapers to report, the incident instantly spread throughout England, all the clubs and fans are constantly discussing this violence, for the FA that has been constantly advocating civilized play and refusing violence, this incident is completely a slap in the face, especially the player has been injured for so long, it can be said that it is the largest stadium violence in recent years, I believe the FA will definitely give a maximum fine.

In the following days, all the staff of Leeds United Club continued to collect detailed information about the game, and after sorting and summarizing, they reported directly to the FA for a decision as soon as possible.

For this violent incident, just after the end of the game, I received a report from the referee Murphy, and the FA president, referee and other important personnel began to discuss, although it is only a third-tier league, but for the FA that has always advocated the rejection of violence on the field, this is a naked/naked big face.

After a few days of discussion and a report from Leeds United, the FA quickly made a decision on the game, and the media immediately reprinted the biggest penalty for the FA in recent years.

Port Vale 'Akop Soje's retaliatory behaviour on the pitch caused the incident, which resulted in a 15-match ban and a £30,000 fine;

Port Vale player Joe Kadir was involved in the fight and was banned for eight matches and fined £7,000;

Port Vale player Richard Walker was involved in the fight, with a four-match ban and a £4,000 fine;

Port Vale manager Lemmon was on the sidelines at the time of the incident, and was banned for three games and fined £2,000;

Port Vale Club fined £100,000 with a direct warning;

Leeds United player Felipe da Costa was involved in the fight, with a six-match ban and a fine of £5,000;

Leeds United player Sean Deley was involved in the fight, with a two-match ban and a fine of £2,000;

Port Vale Club fined £50,000;

Looking at this ticket, anyone can see that the FA is obviously biased in favor of Leeds United, but even so, Port Vale Club does not dare to appeal, it is obvious that the FA is going to punish Port Vale this time, and I believe that if Port Vale appeals, it will only usher in a bigger fine.

For this fine, Leeds United is still quite satisfied, especially for Sojie's heavy penalty, 15 league means that this season has left him, which is a very big blow to a striker who has just become the main force, maybe he will have to transfer after the end of this season, but then there will be no game to play and no form of him can still stay in League One is a problem.

In the days that followed, with the FA's strong penalties and the passage of time, the incident gradually subsided. Leeds United have also reverted to their previous sections, with perhaps the only change being one less.

In the Leeds United manager's office, Wise, who is deeply frowning, is constantly discussing with the coaching staff about starting the next game.

"Alas, although the English Football Team has always punished Port Vale severely, but killing a thousand and losing 800, we are equivalent to saying that in the next 2 games, we have lost 3 main midfielders, the game on the 25th is Blackpool, and the current Blackpool league is ranked 3rd, and we are very close, it is really a leak in the overnight rain!" As he spoke, Wise took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and spit it out heavily, with a sad look on his face.

"That's right, but now is not the time to be sad, let's hurry up and plan the starters for the next few games, and hurry up to train and integrate." Technical coach Reid Grant said as he placed a stack of papers on the table, and the documents were all about the stats and performances of the usual players.

"yes, Dennis, let's set the starting lineup first and think about the rest." Assistant coach David Kitis also said on the sidelines.

"Well, now isn't the time to be sentimental." Wise threw away the cigarette butt and said, "How many of the midfielders do you think can start?" ”

"Westlake, he's a good guy in his own right, he's also our main rotation, enough to start." Kitis said after a moment's thought.

"What else?" Wise looked down and crossed Westlake's name and continued.

"Hausen, he's been improving very fast lately and I think he should be given a chance." Reed Grant also came up with a name.

Although he had a headache about Hausen's death from time to time, judging from Hawson's performance, Wise felt that it was okay, so he also crossed out Hausen's name. Then he looked up at the last person.

"Carlo, at first we used to position him as a substitute on the right side, but now his performance has improved very quickly." Strength and conditioning coach Chuck Barnes concluded.

Three people, three places, Wise put down the pen and nodded secretly, and the fingers of his right hand began to point rhythmically on the desk. After thinking for a few minutes, he looked up and said, "In the next game, all three of them will play, see the effect first, and then make adjustments." Wise finally decided.

The other three also nodded after hearing this, after all, after the end of the player's ban, there will only be one vacancy left in the main position, and who can take the position in the future can only depend on themselves.
