I haven't read any more than the line appearing under the headline on the article but he doesn't have to agree to the abandonment.

As for awarding the 3 points, the precedent is to replay the match. If he honestly thinks the 3 points should be awarded, I wonder how he would feel if they are down to 10 men, a goal down and with 10 minutes plus injury time left and the opposition manager says to him, "let's shake hands now. We'll take this as the result, thanks." |  |
