Also, the way the story has been leaked to the press is unfair, no reason the FA couldnt have made it clear when they charged Rob it was relating to a league cup game that had nothing to do with Stanley.
And why has it taken the FA so long to charge him?
There are as many questions for the FA to answer as there is for Rob.

Dav, the FA rules on betting are clear and unambiguous and cover competitions your team are involved in, and, for cup competitions, the rule applies even if your team have been knocked out and are no longer 'active' for that season.
For me, it's not a question of how long it took or how many bets, it's a question of the judgement our MD has shown by betting when it's clearly contrary to the rules, especially in light of the recent episode with the players, and the judgement he's shown by broadcasting it on Twitter. Why would we want someone who's demonstrated such poor judgement making the fundamental decisions about our club?
I'm struggling to see how Rob could return to do his job with any genuine credibility after this
