It's not certain at all that Martin will be an out yet, the Tribunal have a history of completely overturning ridiculous penalties.
I think Christian gave him two weeks expecting him to appeal and still get a week, it was amateur hour and just further evidence Christian needs to get the bullet. If the first thing he did was to ban himself that would have been the the right penalty from the start.
But two weeks can be viewed by the tribunal as excessive, and that then calls the whole MRO judgement into question, historically the tribunal hates it's time being wasted from either side of the debate.
Do not be surprised Martin walks away with a fine and Christian ends up on shaky ground, I think the writing is on the wall after the new CEO stepped in!
