Terry Connor decides against appealing Sebastien Bassong ban

Wolves won't appeal Bassong card

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Terry Connor has revealed that the club have decided not to appeal Sebastian Bassong's match suspension.

The 25-year-old defender, who is on loan at Molineux from Tottenham Hotspur, was shown red in the early stages of Wolves' 3-0 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday.

While the club have accepted the ban, Connor has admitted that he has a "beef" with the punishment.

"I do have a beef, if you like, with what happened afterwards in terms of giving Sebastien a red card when there was absolutely no intention from either player to foul one another.

"It was a tangle of legs and I accept a penalty being given, that's the referees prerogative, but to send him off. I didnt think that fit the crime."

Connor has only managed to claim one point with his Wolves team since replacing Mick McCarthy on a temporary basis.
