At the risk of making myself a hostage to fortune I fail to see how he can secure a reduction.
The FA have a standard punishment for bringing the game into disrepute. By reducing it what will they actually be saying?
That if he'd said '****' as well it would be three games?
If he'd said 'fuck' only once that it would be no games?
Clearly not. By reducing this they would be creating far more problems for themselves in the future, which sticking with the standard punishment would avoid.

If we don't get a decision tonight, wouldn't rule out the board considering going to the CAS...

You forgot about rule 3.48, which states: 'where Man United are involved we will establish a punishment where necessary, but will reduce that punishment should they appeal, especially if they are due to play Man City in a semi final because we at the FA all want to see Man City fail'.samharris said:On what grounds will the FArce reduce the punishment ??
There arent any !!.
How could you forget that rule Sam? Have you not read the rule book?!

I don't think they can up it, because he has accepted the charge so there is no frivolous appeal being made. Rooney is appealing the length of the ban, which the FA will reject and uphold the original ban dished out.
