It would be very difficult for the FA to push a case against Terry now he's been found not guilty in a criminal case. By definition, the authorities failed to prove 'beyond reasonable doubt' that he was guilty.
For the FA to try and charge him with racism would now be extremely difficult and almost certain to fail even though they need less of a case than a criminal case.
Tbh, had Terry not been reported to the police, thereby triggering a prosecution, I think the FA would've come down very hard on him. Given the mood of the country at the time, and the pressure on the FA to be seen to be tackling racism in the game, I reckon that he would have faced a ban
at least as long as that of Suarez, and for his England career to have ended.
