As we are about to see with Everton, the PL don’t really care who the owners are if the money keeps rolling in.
That is the problem I even question why Levy and Co were not put under any sustainabilty check when they Joe Lewis was arrested for insider trading. i do not believe they should have been forced to sell but they should have to had make it clear that Joe Lewis had zero involvement with the club.
 
Its hypocritical but you cant be betting on things that you have a direct chance of affecting as a professional
He isn't betting on the number of throw ins and booting the ball out of play, otherwise he would be done for match fixing. Banning a player for betting is like banning a fan for betting. It's completely pointless.
 
I don't laugh at the Tonali thing. I'm actually fundamentally opposed to any rule that bans any player from gambling. Not match fixing. Gambling. If the FA, gambling companies, government, and clubs all stopped advertising or stopped people putting on bets and made gambling a crime it would be a different story. It's like putting smoking kills on a cigarette packet and banning smokers. It's not really addressing the issue.

It brings integrity into question and poses questions that the game shouldn't have to answer.

He didn't really do anything that a fan criticising him hasn't done before. It's very hypocritical. Same with the Toney thing.

No it isn't. If your employer/industry dictates certain rules; you either follow them or face the consequences. Unfortunately that means the fans and club probably take the brunt as much (if not more than) the player.
 
I'd naturally assumed he'd bet on Woolwich to beat them, and Newcastle to beat us ..

That's just the way my brain is programmed I guess....

SEE what you've done to me Spurs? I'm fucking PARANOID!

...then again,,, EVERYONE says I'm paranoid!

JOKE, geddit?
