Ferguson on Terry suspension

Sir Alex Ferguson thinks John Terry might consider himself to have got off lightly after being hit with a four-match ban by the FA on Thursday.

Terry will decide his next move once he receives the written findings from the four-day independent regulatory commission hearing, after being found guilty of using racist language at Loftus Road in October.

But Ferguson, who saw Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez end their own feud at Anfield on Sunday, feels Terry should think carefully before prolonging the matter.

"There is a danger of it resurrecting itself because it has been going on so long," said the Manchester United manager.

"But the fact he got a four-game ban, he may consider that is quite lenient considering Luis Suarez got eight.

"It is time to move on and so should the game."

very light ban in my view. It doesn't matter in what context Terry used the words, just the mere fact that he used them should have lead to a longer ban
