@Kop305: Liverpool considering legal action say The Times http://t.co/jjnRTHOYQW

888poker have terminated his sponsorship contract. I hope we can appeal though as this affects us very much.

Not his 888poker sponsorship, his ban. Just to clarify.

From what i have read, Adidas will make a decision after the world cup...

Liverpool season ticket holders should sue Fifa !

I'm struggling to get my head around the fact that he isn't even allowed to train with his team mates.
I mean WTF is THAT all about ey?

I agree. They are coming down on him like he raped someone or harmed a child or a fan. This is a media driven punishment because of the hype of the situation and because it happened at the world cup. Im not sticking up for him, he deserves punishment but the one he got is ridiculas.

Yeah that part is a bit harsh and could be very detrimental to his future career and also / especially to us. It's difficult because it's the kind of punishment he needs but it really shouldn't have affected us.

As for suing FIFA? I don't really see the point. They are a law all of their own and don't think they'd give a [oops] about LFC and how it affects them.

The Sports Arbitration Court surely could interfere though. .the real question is, do Liverpool have a legal basis for appealing or suing Fifa? I think that is what we are taking legal advice on. If we have a legal basis, i expect us to appeal as we wont want to dish out for his wages when he is useless to us and his absence will also affect our on field performance and could there for lead to a loss of revenue.

I'm not sure where you're from, but if the sentence to rapists is a 4 month football ban would you be able to inform me as I would like to stay away from there.
