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.
