Give him another 4 months for the sheer cheek of appealing. Take your punishment and get some help,Suarez you knob.
Doubt it would be rectified by the time Uruguay play anyways.
Im surprised Liverpool havent come out yet and appealed.

I think that they might have a case to appeal. They are being punished for an offence committed whilst he was not under their control. I think that they could well have a case that the whole punishment should be served on international duty.How can Liverpool appeal.
The punishment is against Suarez and Uruguay.
Liverpool are a 3rd party who it effects, as he is their employee but they have no right of appeal.
If he was sent to prison for a criminal offence for 4 months, Liverpool would have no rights, and it is the same here.
They should be able to stop his wages for that period, and if they are forced to sell at below market rate may have a case to get Suarez to pay the difference (a la Chesea v. Mutu)

I am not saying that an appeal would be successful but if they think that they have a case to make, I would expect them to give it a go.
I don't think that will bother them when there could be millions at stake.Legally they may have some sort of case, but it would appear a poor decision to support a serial offender and bring bad publicity to the club and owners in the USA where this World Cup has made a massive impact. Recently an owner of a netball (sorry basketball) team had to sell because of the bad publicity he received for a racial comment made in private to an individual.
If the ban was for a year or two, then I would expect Liverpool to do everything they could to get it reduced. But they only miss him for the start of the season and surely, even for Liverpool, the bad publicity would be too much. Suarez being banned for part of the season is pretty much part of the parcel.
If they can keep him he will get a proper rest and can fully recover from his injury. Players often suffer from a post-world cup hangover and this way a fresh and hungry Suarez will be available from late October.

That was my point. Why are Liverscum being punished for something that happened in a different competition and not with them. Am I right in saying for arguments sake that a red card in a CL match would not mean he is suspended in the premiership? I think im right. So for all intents and purposes, what makes this instance so different?
I think that the argument that he is a repeat offender holds some ground. I think that the punishment is about right but I also expect Liverpool to appeal because it could cost them millions.

Let's be fair, if they appealed it would be the single biggest PR disaster in history!
