The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

It's trivial for the FA to request whichever league he goes to honours it. I believe Suarez was finishing out a ban when he moved to Liverpool iirc. Or maybe it was when he left.

is that actually enforceable, or just a gentleman's agreement type thing

because when he inevitably signs for the Qatari All Stars League or whatever, i find it hard to imagine whoever's made the investment will be happy with "oh he'll play in a couple of games, he's currently banned for assaulting a spectator"

Oh if he goes there then yeah forget it. But if Mendes has a gig lined up at a team in the CL or there's anything to the Chelsea rumour then he'll serve it most likely, obviously in the case of Chelsea.

I think when Suarez left Liverpool the ban was enforceable because it was a ban from FIFA for biting at the World Cup so it applied globally, but when he signed for Liverpool the ban was specific to the Dutch FA and didn't affect his eligibility for the PL. I might be misremembering that though.

Some different reasons here but I do think the Super League's immediate collapse is a factor in both Liverpool and Manchester United being put of for sale. Football as we know it is ruined so I can understand them.

They already have a deal with the FA for the next season to splice in actual match footage so they're gonna get all Dream Team with it.
