Lyon boss Fonseca gets nine-month ban for confronting referee

I wonder if this takes into account the off months in the summer. They wanted him to serve a 6 month ban, so had to bump it to 9 to take into account May, June, July
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I'm very fine with the outcome and as mentioned above there will be the summer break in between. I guess this is also about sending a message, that there a certain boundaries concerning referees that need to be respected.

Will they sack him? Surely there's not planning to go without a manager for nine-months?
9 months is ridiculously excessive. It was bad but 9 months is nonsense
That's mad. Is he out for Europa games too?
Joe Hart is laughing his arse off
Nope just domestic
we’ve effectively done it for over a decade.
How is it extreme? He pushed his face towards the ref and got the punishment that he deserves. Managers have already been pushing the boundaries in the past decade or so, and this sort of incident was inevitable.
You have to stop this sort of behaviour and a 6 game ban isn’t going to cut it. He’s going to get a ban that will most likely end up with him getting sacked and the club won’t even have to pay him compensation for sacking him.

fair point.It will be a new low when we're dumped out by a team selected and setup by ChatGPT.new manager bounce when we face them in Europa
Players and managers are regularly in the referee and officials face but don't get anywhere near this type of punishment. It ends at a yellow or a red. Klopp used to do it on the regular.
Mitrovic actually pushed a referee and only got an 8 game ban.
This is excessive and overly aggressive and ugly but feels like it's a 'make an example' of him moment. I'd give a big fine, public apology, and a 5 match ban or something.
No wonder referees keep getting punched in France. With that sort of time, be sure to do the right crime.

Good. Theyl need him when we thrash Lyon on the way to winning Europa.
