Not surprising and the sad thing is that he'll be no short of suitors.

He can't help it and never will. I'd rather take someone who bites, pushes and sprawls his body looking for a penalty than a **** like Cantona or Roy Keane going around trying to hurt people.Originally posted by Lee View PostAlways going to be the case I suppose.
I think he loves the club and up until earlier this week I honestly thought he'd stay next season. Really not sure now tbh. It's clear that he's being hounded out of England.
FFS Luis. Why put yourself in such a situation?!

Luis Suárez considering future at Liverpool after 10-game ban
• Suárez feels victimised by English football authorities
• Striker may be open to offers from Europe this summer
Luis Suárez is considering his future in English football having been left stunned by a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic at Anfield on Sunday.
Liverpool have repeatedly denied they would sell their leading goalscorer, as recently as Monday, but there are concerns within the club that the severity of the punishment has left Suárez feeling persecuted and more open to offers from Europe this summer. Juventus have retained an interest in the 26-year-old since last year, Bayern Munich have been linked because Pep Guardiola's brother, Pere, is Suárez's agent and the striker will be a target for Atlético Madrid in the event of Radamel Falcao's departure.
Suárez will be sidelined until September as a result of Wednesday's ruling by an independent regulatory commission and has until midday on Friday to appeal against one of the longest suspensions imposed by the Football Association. The ban has commenced with immediate effect. The striker would still have to serve the final six games of the suspension next season if he moved abroad, as was the case when Joey Barton moved to Marseille in the midst of a 12-match ban collected at Queens Park Rangers. But the belief he is being victimised by the football authorities in England has prompted Suárez to consider a fresh start in Europe.
The Uruguay forward continues to feel wronged by the eight-match suspension and £40,000 fine he received last season for using racially abusive language towards Patrice Evra, a decision reached by another independent regulatory commission. In a submission to the hearing on Wednesday, Suárez claimed the bite on the Serbian defender did not deserve more than an automatic three-match ban for violent conduct. That was rejected outright by the three-man panel, all impartial from Liverpool and Chelsea, who met via video-link and imposed a penalty more than three times greater than Suárez believed necessary.
Liverpool had feared that Suárez's chequered career in English football and pressure from the prime minister's office would result in a substantial ban but were taken aback by its severity. The club and player will receive written reasons for the 10-match suspension from the FA on Thursday before deciding whether to appeal. Liverpool supported Suárez's decision to challenge the FA's announcement that a three-match ban was "clearly insufficient" and an appeal is expected.
Ian Ayre, the Liverpool managing director who publicly rebuked Suárez on Sunday and fined him on Monday, said: "Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of today's independent regulatory commission decision. We await the written reasons tomorrow before making any further comment."
The commission's explanation for the 10-match suspension will not be made public until Liverpool and Suárez have received its report. A seven-match ban from the Dutch FA for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal in November 2010 could not be taken into account by the panel but they could consider Suárez's disciplinary record in English football, including the Evra verdict, if they wished.
Suárez's punishment has led to criticism of the inconsistencies in the FA's disciplinary process, with Jermain Defoe receiving only a yellow card for biting Javier Mascherano in 2006 and therefore avoiding retrospective punishment, and the Uruguayan landing a longer ban for biting than using racially abusive language. The FA's position on racist abuse has changed since the Suárez and John Terry cases, however, and the organisation has drawn up stiffer penalties, independently of Uefa's proposed directive, that are expected to be announced within weeks.
The commission considered the FA's charge of violent conduct, and recommendation that three matches were insufficient, against a written submission from Liverpool on Suárez's behalf.
An FA statement said: "A three-person independent regulatory commission today upheld the FA's claim that a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three. The suspension begins with immediate effect.
"The Liverpool forward had accepted a charge of violent conduct but had denied the FA's claim that the standard three-match sanction was insufficient for the offence. The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed. Suárez has until midday on Friday 26 April to appeal the additional suspension, above the standard three matches."
Suárez's suspension will commence with Liverpool's match against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday evening and the striker, who took his tally for the season to 30 with a 97th-minute equaliser against Chelsea, will also miss matches against Everton, Fulham and QPR before the season finishes.Comment

None of them would consider listening to my point of view about the inconsistency of the FA, the McManaman thing, Defoe, Barton etc. I said that I bet the same cunts who are having a go are Chelsea and United fans who stick up for Terry, Cole, Ferdinand, Rooney, Cantona and Keane etc. Cunts went quiet.

Luis Suarez could walk out on English game after shock of 10-match ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic
Liverpool striker Luis Suárez is considering his future in English football after being left distraught by a 10-game suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
By Chris Bascombe10:30PM BST 24 Apr 2013
Suárez is deeply upset at the severity of the ban issued by an independent regulatory commission on behalf of the Football Association.
Liverpool are awaiting the written reasons explaining why seven games were added to a mandatory three-game ban for violent conduct.
Suárez has until noon on Friday to decide whether to appeal, but that risks the suspension being extended.
Ultimately, it will be left to the player to make that call, but the South American is known to feel strongly that he has been too harshly *penalised for his offence, particularly as he swiftly admitted his guilt.
Liverpool now face a decisive few weeks where they must try to convince Suárez, enraged by his treatment by the authorities, not to quit Anfield.
However, even if he did move abroad, the FA would seek to have his ban applied in any league overseas.
He will not only miss the final four games of this season, but the next six of the 2013-14 campaign.
Confirming the 10-game ban, an FA statement said: “Luis Suárez has been suspended for a total of 10 matches after an Independent Regulatory Commission today ruled on a charge of violent conduct.
“A three-person independent regulatory commission upheld the FA’s claim that a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three.
The suspension begins with immediate effect.
“The Liverpool forward had accepted a charge of violent conduct but had denied the FA’s claim that the standard three-match sanction was insufficient for the offence. The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed. Suárez has until midday on Friday 26 April to appeal the additional suspension, above the standard three matches.”
Liverpool responded to express their concerns about the verdict. Managing director Ian Ayre said: “Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of the independent regulatory commission decision. We await the written reasons before making any further comment.”
Liverpool knew Suárez was likely to face more than the standard three games but had hoped the FA would prioritise rehabilitation of the player. They cited previous incidents where players were involved in arguably much more dangerous conduct but escaped censure or suspension.
The case involving Jermain Defoe and Javier Mascherano in 2006 has become a particular source of contention, Liverpool perplexed as to how the Tottenham Hotspur player escaped with just a yellow card for biting an opponent during a Premier League fixture.
Although the FA says the disciplinary procedures have significantly changed in the seven years since, Liverpool cannot understand how such a vast difference in approach between now and then is considered fair and just.
Liverpool believe there have been successful moves to make an example of Suárez based for the large part on his identity. His past is certainly a factor.
The warnings of a hefty ban were clear earlier in the week when the FA made it known Suárez’s other brushes with authority in this country would influence the length of the ban.
The written adjudication is expected to make reference to his pre*vious misdemeanours and warnings of future conduct that followed last season’s Patrice Evra dispute when Suárez was found guilty of using racially motivated language against the Manchester United defender.
Whether an appeal has any chance of success is debatable given the hardline approach of the FA and the regulatory panel. Liverpool’s primary concern, however, is to consider the immediate and long-term impact on their player and what it means for his future on Merseyside.
In the emotional aftermath of the FA statement, the signals were not promising for Liverpool fans desperate to see the 26-year-old remain at the club.
Liverpool will hope Suárez will appreciate the backing of his *manager, Brendan Rodgers, who will face the media this afternoon and is expected to express his own concerns about the extreme reprimand.
Rodgers is determined to offer all the support the player requires to overcome the latest serious setback to his career and image outside of Merseyside. Rival clubs, however, are ready to pounce.
Atlético Madrid, in search of a replacement for striker Radamel Falcao, have been immediately linked with a summer bid for a player valued in excess of £50 million. Bayern Munich and Juventus are also admirers of the Uruguayan, while it is believed Suárez has held long-term ambitions to play for either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Liverpool would resist any bids for Suárez from opportunistic suitors, but ultimately realise it is the state of mind of the player that will determine if he can remain at Anfield.Comment

Complete knob for doing it but **** the FA for being complete ****s!!
I don't think it will force him out as he doesn't seem to care about the opposition or he cares about LFC & our fans.
Gutted by the whole thing.
Cheers

For what it's worth, a few Ajax fans and Dutch journo's I've spoken to think he did it in Holland to give himself an escape route out of the club.Rome wasn't built in a day, but it wasn't built by the apprentice either.Comment

Didn't think about Atlético. Makes sense for them to go in for him if Falcao leaves.
