Gemmill 49296 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 I'd hope he gets a "time served" ban and not more bullshit on top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11883 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I reckon there's a fair chance he'll be back in Italy in a season or two on a cut price deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32846 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 I can't see him getting anything other than a concurrent ban. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 11473 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 So his global ban is up in August in time for the FA to do him for a further 8 months. I hope he likes Saudi Arabia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that before this betting scandal. Italians struggle to settle in PL. They are real hit or miss. Mainly miss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49296 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 He looked a hit when he was playing tbf. The period training under Howe won't have doje him any harm either. Common sense will prevail here and he'll be lining up at the start of next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scroats at the FA will use him as an example, and there'll evidently be considerable support from other clubs in the league. A great player he is but it does beg questions about the level of due diligence we did on the lad before spending £55m on him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 11162 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 If it’s anything other than a concurrent ban it’s a fucking outrage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36558 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 I reckon he’ll get done for breach of contract if there’s another ban on top of the current one. Hopefully the FA will see sense and any additional ban would be considered unduly harsh. I won’t hold by breath though. It would also be a harsh move by the club but they’d probably not really see any other option thanks to FFP rules. And if all that were to happen then I think his whole career would be in jeopardy. It would be a terrible way to treat an addict imo. I’m not just saying that because he’s our player. As I tend to agree he’s not that likely to make it here either way 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA won't be canvassing for support from other clubs in their decision, it's nowt to do with them, and if someone has a gambling addiction in a profession where you're not allowed to gamble, he'd be keeping it well under wraps. He basically got found out cos that cunt at Villa (?) grassed on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 18810 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 This is Toneys rap sheet, almost 300 in 4 years. Shady Sandy is on the rack for 50 in 3 months. I think he’s fucked tbh. he’s only been banned for the ones he put on at Milan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 18810 Posted March 28, 2024 Share Posted March 28, 2024 He’s not been punished for betting on premier league games. Seeing as it’s an addiction issue and he’s only harming himself it would be beyond harsh to ban him again. A ban suspended for 5 years or something would be appropriate so he’s certainly less tempted to do it again. A block on betting apps from App Store or Google play would help too .But maybe he moved from Italy to England precisely because there’s several walk in bookies on most high streets whereas Italy doesn’t possess any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
