It is a common misconception that he won’t get paid. as pointed out by the Athletic, Toney continues to receive full salary, and even if he is banned for three years, the maximum pay the club can deduct is six weeks as per current playing contract regulations.

So Tonali brought U21 players into an illegal underworld of loan sharks threatening to break their legs, and we want to continue to allow him to be near Lewis Miley???

2 years, including 1 suspended, however more stuff will come out and he’ll never play again.

We are being overly focused about Tonali’s illness as we defend him but we forget a key part of the evidence against him - testimonies from other players that he was acting as an enabler, making it possible for other young Italian players to access illegal gambling platforms. what is known is only from a few testimonies to date. Might well only be the tip of the iceberg. we can not have him near our young players. He has to be terminated.

this is why employers have a right to terminate staff if they fail to disclose something at an interview that will materially impact their ability to conduct their job.

Authorities have their own rules and Tonali would have been aware of the possible consequences of his actions at the time he committed his offence and at the time he signed his contract with us. He has shafted us.

Even if he gets a 3 year ban we are only allowed to dock his salary for six weeks…. Or sack him

If I recall Toney was a pattern of ill advised bets through legitimate platforms as a lower league player which crucially stopped at a point in time when his career was on the up. From the reports I have read Tonali was using illegal platforms whilst playing for AC Milan. He then allows a £55m transfer to go ahead. He has basically blown our £60m windfall for Champions League qualification for the sake of greed. He actually arrogantly shits in the face of Howe and the whole playing squad who worked so hard to get us to where we are now. How can he look any of them in the eye? not only has he blown our Champions League money but he has lost all professional credibility and therefore he will never again manage to secure a transfer fee if even a quarter of what we paid. So unlike Toney, he is an odious and deceitful individual who has cost a significantly. We should make him pay andI hope he spends the rest of his life out of football and on the breadline.

I’m reminded that Mutu was sued for his transfer fee, I’d imagine we can do the same. in which case even if Tonali can’t afford to pay this would become an asset that changes the FFP calculation. if the above is true, sack him, he’s lost my support.

clearly his injury record is why we’d sell, but perhaps if we haven’t already we should look at improving his conditioning through the use of either Swedish or Japanese massage.

Don’t think gambling ban is quite the answer but a more sensible approach would be to put Sweden and Japan in charge of all worldwide gambling regulation

AMAZING

and I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for SackPardew.com

Hmm I’m not sure we would be so forgiving if Alex Ferguson had said that!
