It’s ok Todd boehly, reckons if we spread that out over 100 years, then he only misses half a month a year. Basically he gets the international breaks off. don’t know what the fuss is about.

Whitley mag Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) 3 year ban looks the going rate for this if proven and reduced to 18 months with him cooperating and willing to get help. I’ll be very impressed if he gets his career back on track after that length of time out, we’ll make the right noises about supporting him, but think it’s highly likely his career with us will be finished after that length of time out. He’ll have some sort of career going forward but suspect it’ll be very average and back in Italy with another club.

I'm hoping it has opened up a huge can of worms in Italian football. If we are going to get shafted because of what went on over there, then serious questions need to be asked. I don't see why NUFC should be bankrolling their mistakes. The longer this goes on, the more likely it is that we'll see dirty details emerge from what was happening when Sandro was actually in Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Being at his boyhood club, the move didn’t make much sense but if he was in the depths of it, all that self loathing, he might have just thought a fresh start was needed. It’s all speculation right now, but maybe he was getting threatened by dodgy fuckers as well. Now if it turns out his gambling followed over to here, then I’ve less sympathy.

Not all bad, it might have got us out of buying Micheal Owen. I heard a story I think from dyer, that Owen even wanted to bet on who’s bag came off the baggage collection carousel thing first!

TaylorJ_01 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It seemed quite an unusual transfer at the time. Italian players don't often leave serie A, similar to England, not even considering he was a boyhood fan. I smell something creamy going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanLooneyToon Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I can understand a lengthy ban if he was betting on matches that he was participating in but if he hasn't gone that far than I think it's a tad hypocritical to ban him for a whole year. Gambling is being promoted nonstop during every sporting event in the entire world. It feels like 75% of commercials are about gambling. I get that hes a player so different rules but it seems similar to pushing heroin in front of a drug addict's face every morning. Like FIFA gives a shit about a player gambling. Half their panel is probably betting on how lengthy his sentence will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tonali will deserve the lengthy ban coming his way, but the football authorities have no moral high ground on this, with their continued allowance of betting ‘partners’ etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
