So if Conte doesn't take the plea bargain he's banned for one year?
I wouldn't take the plea bargain. What's the point? If he confesses he's guilty he'll ruin his career.
The Plea Bargain is just stupid and pointless. There's no point for Conte to take it just to make the ban risk reduce to 3 months.
It's just like us in 2006 when we want to appeal. And FIGC, Court, UEFA all warned us that this can go for long time and can stop football in Italy for 1 year or more. Stopping football means greater losses for us and all Italian Football. So we can take the conviction to Serie B..
Just later last year, all the evidence about Merda and other phone tapping all went out, but we can do nothing and wonder what if in 2006 we fight and appeal. Now they say the case already obsolete and the new evidence even doesn't got enough media coverage.
