It's a move in the right direction, but I'd have preferred a 3-match ban and a majority rather than unanimous verdict. I'm not convinced that ex-managers who, let's be honest, have been complicit in their players diving, will be impartial. If obvious cases of diving keep going unpunished then the FA might have to look at this again.

It's one thing to bring in a panel, another to actually dish out sanctions. But I hope it works.
