Expand Aye I'd love to know how they find out casual betting like this.

Nine Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 They really made an example of him, surprised it’s that long. But it’s fair, if you’re involved in the game don’t break the rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 What happened to Klopp and his ban? Guess they will wait until the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 So nearly 3 of those 8 months he wouldn't have played anyway? Why isn't it a X number of games ban instead? Ridiculous. He got off very lightly compared to others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Can Brentford just loan him overseas for eight months then? In which case they can arrange for a cheeky striker loan swop for, say, Tammy Abraham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I wonder if he was winning and the betting companies grassed him up, last year my mates dad won £8k one week then £7k the next and Bet365 contacted him and he was interrogated as to who was tipping him, a jockey, trainer ect .

Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Does the ban just cover playing or does it also prevent him from training with Brentford? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 This is an absolute fucking joke, they wait months and months and start his ban two games before the end of the season, conveniently handing Spurs a nice advantage in their battle for league position with us.
