Following a hearing between Grays Athletic and The Football Association today regarding the outstanding payment to jailed footballer, Ashley Sestanovich, The F.A. have given Grays Athletic 14 days (19/03/08) to pay approximately £14,000 plus £500 fine and hearing costs or they will be suspended from all football.
Grays Athletic have strongly contested the payments to Mr Sestanovich following his involvement in the robbery and death of Thomas Fahey of Fahey Roofing in the summer of 2006, Mr Sestanovich was found guilty of conspiracy to rob and sentenced to 8 years in prison.
Grays Athletic have been involved in a counter claim against Mr Sestanovich and were instructed that this would be successful; however, The FA have not been sympathetic to the case even though The Football Conference were fully behind Grays Athletics‘ decision to terminate Mr Sestanovich‘s contract with the club once the gravity of the offence was know to them.
