I just don’t get it. If you want to gamble why do you HAVE to gamble on football?
Imagine paying 80 mil for this dick swab, and then on top of it he gets banned for years 😂😂😂
No wonder he rarely smiles or laughs
Unpopular opinion (maybe?): there is nothing unethical about betting your own team to win outright. Playing a spread or for a draw or any other prop bet you can influence is unethical, but betting on yourself to do your job doesn’t seem the same.
I know it’s illegal and immoral because of that, but is there anything inherently immoral about betting that your club will WIN? I mean, if he bet on loosing, ties, yellow cards, minutes where the goal is scored, etc. But winning? That’s basically what he’s paid to do.
If he has a higher financial incentive on a specific game, he may take a tactical red card that he otherwise wouldn’t have for one example
I know the issues with managers betting on their teams to win is that they may use players up to get a win, that they otherwise wouldn’t have, at the cost of future games.
But I’m struggling to see where a player might have an issue.
Palpatine rubs his hands “good…goooooood”
I’d be shocked if Newcastle doesn’t look into this
What a pillock.
Makes sense that he he went to newcastle …bigger pay =cover debts and more money to gamble
Uh oh, holy shit.
This reminds me of the Adrian Mutu situation with Chelsea. It’ll be interesting to see what Newcastle does with him/his contract.
Let’s stop all players betting, also remove all betting companies from sponsoring any sort of football.
dodged a bullet there, I bitched and cried about the sale so much
Damn Milan got really lucky, they sold him right before this shitshow lol.
If he does really have a problem, I hope he will be mandated to go through some class or program to fix it.
