The rule on betting is quite broad but 232 charges sound bloody serious, him getting a ban is very bad news for us so hoping for small misdemeanours. Also hope this is not a result of larger gambling problem for the lad as it would be a great shame for a talented young man who is on a very upward trajectory.
If he’s going to be trouble for you then the best thing would be to get him off the books. We’ll take him off your hands in January, at a discounted price of course seeing as we’re taking on the baggage ourselves.
Sure you can have him for £69,999,999 instead of £70m
It does. I was wrong on this one as I thought it was a storm in a teacup but I was completely of the mark.Explains his England omission.
If 232 betting charges doesnt get him a massive ban they would be as well just letting them all do it.
He clearly has a massive problem or could not give a shit.
In US sports that would get you a lifetime ban.
It’s over a four year period. It’s not far off one bet a week. That’s nowhere near a major gambling problem unless the sums are eye watering.If 232 betting charges doesnt get him a massive ban they would be as well just letting them all do it.

How long a ban will that be?
232... i mean why stop at one or two
Yh i disagree with people saying he has a problem, I know loads of people who do a weekly acca. Issue is non on them are playing for the team they’re betting on!I've made 232 bets in 4 years (am up overall, don't worry) that's like a bet a week. So unless any of them involved teams he played for this might even be a smaller issue than Trippier's insider trading. Or it might be much, much, much worse.
Nothing in that statement says that he has either, to be fairYh i disagree with people saying he has a problem, I know loads of people who do a weekly acca. Issue is non on them are playing for the team they’re betting on!

Yeah true. I wonder if it’s illegal to bet on himself scoring - he’s trying to do that anyway and it won’t change anything but I assume it’s not allowed.Nothing in that statement says that he has either, to be fair
I would assume it is banned, it should be anyway. I certainly see the logic in a blanket ban on betting on your club.Yeah true. I wonder if it’s illegal to bet on himself scoring - he’s trying to do that anyway and it won’t change anything but I assume it’s not allowed.
Explains his England omission.
If that were the case then having a goal bonus in your contract wouldn't be okay either since a striker could split it with a goalkeeper.The problem with betting on yourself is that it encourages collusion. If it was ok for a striker to bet on themselves to score it incentivises them to collude with goalkeepers and then share the profits

Betting is rarely about what you win, it's the thrill of winning.Why would you bet when your on so much money? Takes the fun out of it when you don’t need the money.
If you like.I really don't think so ... There doesn't appear to be very much to that.
Southgate doesn't seem to like change very much & tends to stick with his boys.
That’s not why most people get addicted. It’s the release of endorphins putting the bet on and the thrill of it winning.Why would you bet when your on so much money? Takes the fun out of it when you don’t need the money.
That’s £10m extra to take Phil Jones right?I was thinking more £10m and Phil Jones? Can’t say fairer than that.
