Luis Suárez: what they said

16 October "Luis is adamant he has not used language of that nature and the club is totally supportive of the player" Liverpool statement 17 October "It's not something that we want to level at Liverpool, and it's not against Liverpool. Obviously Patrice feels very aggrieved at what was said to him and it rests in the hands of the FA now" Sir Alex Ferguson 28 October "We have got a case going on which seems to be dragging its feet. We would rather have it done and dusted, out in the open and whoever is the guilty party, whether it's the person who said it or the accuser, [should] get their due punishment. We look forward to ours coming to a conclusion. For me, I don't see racism, as far as this club is concerned, apparent in any way, shape or form" Kenny Dalglish 8 November "There is no evidence I said anything racist to him. I said nothing of the sort. I did not insult him. It was just a way of expressing myself" Luis Suárez 16 November "He will plead not guilty to the charge and we expect him to request a personal hearing … the club remain fully supportive of Luis in this matter" Liverpool statement 18 November "We have been asked by the FA not to say anything about the Evra situation. I think Liverpool have been drip-feeding a lot of stuff out in the last couple of weeks" Sir Alex Ferguson 8 December "Nine weeks to reach a decision is a joke" Kenny Dalglish 20 December "We find it extraordinary that Luis can be found guilty on the word of Patrice Evra alone. We do not recognise the way in which Luis Suárez has been characterised" Liverpool statement
