I've just heard this too... What the f*** do the club (or their lawyers) think there is to be gained by letting Parsons loose in front of a microphone BEFORE the FA panel reach their verdict...? Unless, as you say, the club have already been made aware of the FA's decision (ahead of the formal hearing on Thursday / Friday) and it's 'worse case scenario' and we're going to go down fighting... But, even so, Parsons FFS...? Have the club learned nothing after the Parsons shit-show before, during and after the EFL decision...?
This has got "rest of season total footballing ban" written all over it IMO... There's no way Parsons gets in front of a microphone at this stage of the proceedings if the decision is either unknown or looking like it might be favourable...
What a load of old shite.
