Absolutely speechless. That's what we are here at FFS.

We heard the news late last night that the FA have instructed Leicester City to reinstate Dennis Wise, saying that although he assaulted team mate Callum Davidson, he could not be sacked.

The League's Football Disciplinary Commission (FDC) ruled that a fine of two weeks' wages was the maximum punishment which could be imposed under current regulations. They apparently said they regretted the fact that they could not impose a harsher sentence.

We hoped that having slept on the matter we'd be a little less angry.

Well we're not. We are absolutely f***ing disgusted.

Wise assaulted a man in bed, leaving him with a double fracture of a cheekbone and unable to play for the team for months . He should be up in court and in prison. And all the FA can say is fine him 2 weeks wages??

And what the hell do the PFA think they're doing?

Arsehole Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, welcomed the ruling, claiming that Leicester's financial problems had clouded their judgement.

He said: "It's a sensitive situation. Dennis has a reputation for such problems at times but it was a fact that Leicester were trying to get the wage bill down and get rid of players.

"For that reason the punishment was excessive but a High Court judge has made this decision and it's no bad thing the law of the land is being used to get things in proportion."

It's got fook all to do with the money you pathetic little man! We're talking a vicious assault here. In any other job that person would have been sacked instantly.

Why the hell do footballers think they are above the law?

And why isn't the PFA fighting for the rights of Callum Davidson and saying this sort of behaviour by Wise is totally unacceptable and brings the game into disrepute?

We are absolutely staggered at both the FA and the PFA on this one.

City can appeal, and have done so. Club chairman Martin George said:

"We are astonished that the Football League regulations do not permit the dismissal of a player who has committed a serious and unprovoked assault on a fellow professional and we have immediately appealed against the decision regarding the dismissal."

The hearing will take place on Wednesday August 28th.

Are you as angry as us about this? If you are then mail the FA now if you agree that this is an appalling decision and the FA laws need to be changed. You can send your comments to [email protected]
