John Yems's Suspension Gets Extended Until 2026 Following an FA Appeal

Posted : 19 April 2023
Following the Football Association's successful appeal, John Yems, the former manager of Crawley Town, has had his suspension from football for making racist remarks to players extended until 2026.

In January, Yems was convicted guilty of 11 charges of racial abuse and pleaded guilty to one. He received a 17-month suspension.

The 63-year-prolonged old's sentence represents the longest punishment for discrimination in English sport.
The FA appealed the punishment on the grounds that it was "insufficient."

The FA stated it "fundamentally disagreed" with the disciplinary commission's finding that Yems' remarks were "not a case of conscious racism" in a report.
The FA's allegation was upheld by the appeals panel, and a three-year suspension was then imposed until January 2026.

"We welcome the verdict from the independent appeal board to suspend John Yems from all football-related activity until January 2026," an FA spokesperson said.
"We strongly disagreed with their original sanction, as well as some of the elements of their judgement, which we fundamentally believed were not appropriate for the severity of the offences committed by John Yems.

"We are pleased that the independent appeal board ruled that specific findings from the Independent Regulatory Commission were unreasonable, as there were numerous examples of inherent and obvious racist language.

"This is a deeply distressing case for the victims involved, and we hope that the outcome of this appeal will help to bring some closure. We also hope that this will encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed discrimination in the game to report it."

Yems was placed on administrative leave by Crawley on April 23, 2018, following allegations that he had treated his players unfairly between 2019 and 2022.
Thirteen days later, days after the FA revealed its inquiry, he parted ways with the League Two team.

Yems pleaded guilty to one count of making remarks that made reference to ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion, gender, or color, but he vigorously contested the other fifteen.
