PFA refuse Suarez snub
Professional Footballers' Assocation chairman Clarke Carlisle has denied the union will remove Luis Suarez from the shortlist for the Premier League Player of the Year award following his recent indiscretion.
Carlisle believes the FA's investigation into Suarez will not affect his chances of winning the gong.
"It's not possible. The Player of the Year award is voted on footballing merit alone," Carlisle said. "This isn't club man of the year or most well behaved player. It's voted for by the players on football ability.
"A couple of years ago Ched Evans was in the Team of the Year, he was subsequently sent to prison for rape and we made the decision to stand because the vote was taken well before he got into the trouble and it was on footballing ability alone.
"If we were to change that now because Luis Suárez has bitten someone then that would be a terrible message to send out. We've made that distinction, it's about footballing ability alone, it's voted for by his peers and that's going to remain."
