Anger after ex-football manager John Yems' comments labelled 'not conscious racism'
John Yems left Crawley last May, two days after the FA said it was investigating allegations against him
But ex-footballer Clarke Carlisle, of anti-racism charity Kick It Out, said the panel's findings were incredulous.It said the case involving "racist bullying over a significant period" was "extremely serious" and it "fundamentally" disagreed that this was not a case of conscious racism. "The amount of contradictions that are within the report itself totally undermine any confidence in the processes that are going on at the FA," said Carlisle, who sits on the players' board of anti-discrimination football group, Kick It Out.
"It just beggars belief that they can push that notion - the action of someone is not racist when it's not their call to make.""Football regulates itself. It investigates itself... and it means that true justice is not sought in situations like this," he added.The panel found Yems guilty of 11 charges relating to racist abuse between 2019 and 2022. He admitted one charge.
But the FA, which indicated it pushed for a two-year suspension, argued it "fundamentally disagreed" with the panel's findings.
