After listening to DP media comments on Wire TV, I read into it, undertones that the career of McGuire relies on what decision McGuire decides to take.
My hunch is,…
Don’t appeal, get dismissed,
Appeal, with credible evidence (which DP’s body language gave the impression he doesn’t think that will be forthcoming), and get a quash or big reduction in the suspension, and keep your job.
As long as there is that chance of appeal, the club will give him the time.
If by Thursday he hasn’t appealed…he’ll get dismissed.
Reading between the lines, that’s how I see it.
