Taylor tells John Tery not to appeal ban


Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has advised Chelsea captain John Terry not to appeal the four games ban and £220,000 fine imposed on him for his racist insult on QPR's Anton Ferdinand.
 
Taylor said: 'I would like the situation to be ended and people learn from it and move on. It is a decision for John and his advisers, but my preference would be now to accept what has gone on and that things were said which shouldn't have been said. Sorry is the hardest word to say but we have got to learn from it and move on.
 
'To get reconciliation, people have to accept what they have done is wrong, and there has to be some reconciliation because it is causing the game to implode from within. It has caused division among black players and among white players.'
 
Terry who has until Thursday to appeal the decision was accused of calling Ferdinand a 'f****** black c***' in the 83rd minute of Chelsea's defeat at Loftus Road last October. The panel said the Chelsea captain, 31, 'is not a racist' but were 'satisfied' his comments were used as an insult.
