The Football Association have publicly opposed the findings of their own independent panel that ruled disgraced former Crawley Town boss John Yems is not a ‘conscious racist’.

The governing body - who have appointed specialist diversity headhunters Perrett Laver to lead their efforts to fill a six-month old vacancy for an anti-discrimination figurehead - has been roundly criticised after the publication of a report into Yems’ disgusting racial taunts towards players during his time in charge of Crawley - a story first revealed by Sportsmail.

Within the written reasons, the independent regulatory commission said Yems is not a ‘conscious racist’ - sparking outrage across the football community given the sickening nature of the slurs.

However, the FA disagree with the resolution of their own independent panel and are seeking legal advice ahead of a possible appeal.

The organisation also believe the 18 month ban meted out to Yems was too lenient.
