"Jay Rodriguez to Hire Lip Reader in Attempt to Prove Innocence After Allegations of Racial Abuse"
So if he needs to hire a lip reader, that must mean there's footage where you can see his lips, and presumably lip readers have already said what they think Jay said, and now he's got to come up with an alternative version.
Not looking good Jay.

Handy - am i cynical, I wonder how much of that is due to winnable games coming up against Huddersfield, Watford and Leicester?
That was my initial thought, but obviously he'll do his best to avoid a guilty verdict, so employing a lip reader is understandable.
So what do the 'not biased honestly' WBA fans on here think?

My thoughts as well. Being pushed by the club per chance

Dead right - it’s not just a ban that is at stake - it’s his entire future career, whether that be coaching, managing or media work.
Why wouldn’t he do everything possible to clear his name - guilty or not.
Love in the first degree.

The hearing was due today but the club asked for an extension as the club have been in Barcelona this week on mid winter break.
With respect, the FA should tell Rodriguez to **** off and take his punishment then.
I'm not sure a law court would accept "Can we re-schedule please as I'm on holiday then" from a defendant.

Could they not ban him pending the hearing he would then soon answer the charges.
That's not what it said on SSN. It also doesn't make much sense. He had to submit his defence by today, he didn't need the whole squad to return from training. I don't think he'd even have to return himself.

Has Rodriguez actually said what he claims he said rather than Bongs version ?

I guess the club asked for extra time to prepare given Rodriguez was out of the country this week so unable to meet with his representatives.
He's waiting for the lip-reader to tell him!
It doesn't sound like he's taking it very seriously then, does it?

You can't ban someone before they have been found guilty.

On the contrary. He has employed a barrister to defend him. There is talk of counter law suits with regards slander.

Silly old bat
If he's employed him, then what has the barrister been doing with his time? Not having a defence ready isn't acceptable. Surely, if he is as innocent as he says he is, then the barrister will know exactly what was said, rather than alleged.
A civil law suit for slander would be a different case entirely.
