Sandro Tonali

[MrBass 2958]

I'd have thought the official club account could spell 'Newcastle' correctly.

[Gemmill 49343]

Too busy making eyes at himself in his wing mirror.

I don't think that's right about the recruitment team. It clearly wasn't anything like public knowledge and there's probably only him and a couple of those close to him knew about it, all with a huge vested interest in keeping it quiet.

 

If someone had signed Toney just before his story blew up, I don't know that you could blame the signing club. Being a gambling addict is a piece of piss thing to do on the DL.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if his lass didn’t know about it

Addicts don't realise/know they're addicts, he didn't screw us over, Milan may have, but not the player. 

 

He's potentially a very good one, needs support not vilification, hope he gets it, the daft bugger.

I think its more around whether he made a shady deal with Milan to come to us knowing he could face a lengthy ban. Of course we'll never know.

Getting away from it and trying a fresh start was probably what attracted them to leave Milan. They might habe thought to flee the problems.

Or maybe a move and his cut of the fee was a way out of his debts, who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or perhaps he was attracted to the more lenient betting laws in this country..

[Holden McGroin 7453]

This is going to add an extra bit of spice to the Milan game though.

[Gemmill 49343]

The only thing that could make it spicier is having a few quid on it.

[Renton 23469]

What are the odds on Tonali having a sly bet on this? 

[Holden McGroin 7453]

He'll be slipping his mrs a tenner to go down ladbrokes.

Tonali could be in for a longer ban than Fagioli because the latter didn't bet on games he was involved in.

 

NUFC have little material recourse in terms of what we can do with the player short of sacking him, which is both rare and fairly damaging to finances.

 

NUFC have little material recourse in terms of suing Milan although it is possible if we feel that we can demonstrate that they knew.

 

So essentially, however unfair this is, we have to own it.

[Dr Gloom 23389]

milan have had our life here like 

[Gemmill 49343]

Aye but we've got better food and fitter lasses-AHHHH FUCK!

[PaddockLad 18827]

You can dress it up in terms of needing help with addiction etc etc but is that claim actually true? Seeing as Toenail and his agent walked through the front doors of SJP and lied to the owners ,managers & coaches, players and supporters of NUFC am thinking he can fuck right off. It’s a cunts trick. 
 

What do people think his manager’s attitude will be towards him now? And his teammates? 

[Gemmill 49343]

Aye he might not be addicted. It's at least as likely that he's just a stupid cunt.

Oof, Toenail, there is no going back now.  IF things coming out now are true I think we need to bite the bullet and sack him and do whatever possible legally against Milan. I'm guessing I hope if we sack him he might be written off the books for FFP purposes? It's arnly money.

 

[trophyshy 7272]

Toenail.  

 

We've downloaded Paddy Power by mistake. 

[PaddockLad 18827]

It might come down to how Tripps,Jermaine, Fab etc feel. Senior pros can carry a lot of weight. Then you’ll have a faction in the changing room completely against what they say ie it’ll be like any other fuckin workplace (the ones against it will normally be the smokers, huddled together under their bus stop of death, plotting…)

In relation to FFP and "crimes" that were committed prior to him being a Newcastle player, surely that would allow us to effectively remove a portion of his transfer fee and wages from our FFP balance sheet? E.g. He's signed a five year contract so we've amortised his transfer fee and wages across that. Let's assume wages are 100k/week and his transfer fee was £55m. Across five years that's £16.2m (£5.2 + £11m) for each year of his contract. If he's suspended from playing for the rest of the season that equates to about 80% of the games that he could have been otherwise available for that he's missing. Therefore, having committed no crime themselves Newcastle should have "freed up" £12.9m pounds for this season. Next season assuming he's able to play again the amortisation resumes at the original rate. If you consider that we should be continually increasing our revenue substantially for a few years as our new commercial deals come into play it should mean that we can sign a player of similar value a year earlier than we otherwise would have.

Jermaine. The racism just OOZES out of this one, doesn't it. DISGUSTING.

[Gemmill 49343]

They're all Jermaine on the south coast.
