just been said on Sky Sports he's been banned for life for reasons unknown the FA are being tight lipped.

Such a shame an absolute legend at lower league football with Crewe for playing decent football and developing young players, selling them on making money.

Coincidence that the Sheldon Report into sexual abuse was published today? Crewe said they "needed more time" before making a comment, according to Ch4 News.

The FA said the ban was imposed when a “particular individual could potentially pose a risk of harm to children”, so I'd say it's not really a shame he's been banned: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fa-c ... -9xk3vrz6l

a shame in his legacy i was meaning.

it sounds like Dario Gradi had known what had been going on but decided to bury his head in the sand, or not report Barry Bennal, its like conspiracy in many ways, and still had a duty of care to his players and staff.

tonight BBC1 9PM, Horrendous :cry:

Dario Gradi and Crewe were told about Bennal and it was said we better stop kids staying over at his house because of rumours, but did nothing, Dario Gradi should be striped off his MBE .
