The FA ought to introduce a rule saying anyone convicted of a serious offence can't be
employed as a player
Maybe have a non-exhaustive list of serious offences
Then everyone knows where they stand
Lots of professions do this. If I got convicted for fare dodging or sexual assault or GBH, I'd be disbarred, no arguments, no sympathy. No reason why they shouldn't do the same for footballers if they really believe they're role models etc. Then apply it consistently.
