I just don’t think it’s much to do with the betting companies profits more the fact the game is in disrepute I disagree, but it's not easy to prove. Without going into a long and boring post anyway.

He was dropped from the U23 national team because of the same reason. Both players also picked up a yellow on May 21 against Leeds and Sevilla respectively… Unless both were threatened with having their families kidnapped and killed (which would be the only half logical thing although more likely they thought because the bets were placed in Brazil they would be fine…), they will both be banned from football. In Brazil there has been similar cases lately with 2 years ban from football given and I think that would be the only fair thing to do although I wouldn’t mind a five year ban for disrespecting the sport.

I mean it obviously is for the bookies and it’ll be pressure from sponsors the FA don’t need but I imagine they are more concerned about the reputation of their game than what bookies may have lost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 Not sure if already posted, but a Norwegian consortium has bought Burton Albion - one of the key people involved being the son of Per Mathias Høgmo (former Norway manager).

midds Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 No worries, let's see Liverpool give up 4 or 5 of their Anfield games and play a few in Boston and/or NY. It's their idea so they can go first eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
