A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post from Phil Hay about the Kiko Casilla hearing.
The Athletic reporter was asked if there was any news on the Spaniard’s hearing, but Hay said he had not heard anything yet.
Are the FA dragging their feet on purpose?
Yes
No
This has received an angry reaction from these Leeds fans who are now sick of this saga.
not yet

Looks like the evidence provided is not black n white. Bet the FA are delving into the grey areas.

What do we think?
Casilla’s hearing was on Wednesday, and Marcelo Bielsa said in his press conference that he wants the situation to be resolved,
Leeds play against Reading on Saturday, and Bielsa might be annoyed that he does not know if he has Casilla available or if he has to play Illan Meslier instead.
If the evidence is there, then the FA should ban Casilla for using racist language – and if not, they should allow him to carry on with the rest of the season.
However, dragging it out helps no one.
