    He's 23 and it'll be argued he made a mistake, the club will want to recoup sumit best way is he plays when able. He's also still a good player.

    We have Trips who was banned for games for betting - not in the same way but still banned for better.

    You have Toney banned for betting - you can bet he'll be playing again for Brentford in Jan.

    Greenwood should be in prison for rape but is instead still a Man Utd player and playing in La Liga.

    I will be gobsmaked if he doesn't play for us again.
    I hope he does and he’s a great success, it just looks at the moment like he’s deceived us. I hope I am wrong.

    Of course he's deceived us, why does it seem everybody walks on eggshells around him, he screwed Newcastle Utd. just as much as AC Milan.

    Clubs see players as assets aslong as he's still a valuable asset to the club, I would put good money on them looking past that.

    Players decive clubs all the time, this time, it's hurting us alot more but you can guarentee in the past we've had players decive the club over drugs, money, injuries etc.

    Hadn't realised he's admitted betting on AC Milan games he was involved in.

    Going forward, he's our player and we need to support him...but...I'm increasibly pissed off with the player himself.

    ffs, what a mess.

    Guess we have to compare the amount of offences Tonali has committed with that of Fagioli.

    He got a year, reduced to 7 months for admitting the offences, with a pittance of a fine, and having to sign up to both get help and talk about his experiences 10 times.

    I think that is the very MINIMUM Tonali will face, but given he has (apparently) admitted the offences then it could be 18 months if it’s more serious.

    If he has been betting, doesn’t admit it and gets convicted then it would be 3 years.

    Did he know beforehand - of course he did

    Did Milan know beforehand - we’d need Italian authorities to investigate and reveal that, because the club won’t be volunteering the info and I wouldn’t have a clue if there are any clauses in a contract covering such cases… though imagine there likely will be going forward.

    Pretty much sums it up fella

    Thing is we should support him, he’s 23… and I get people are going to say he should know better, and that’s true to a degree, but it’s not like he’s being charged with ***ual assault or similar.

    If people don’t want to support him for humane reasons, then consider he’s a great player… maybe we haven’t seen how good because of this, but support the lad and he’ll show his appreciation on the pitch when he comes back.

    Footballers have too much time on their hands, too much money from a young age and they don't have the imagination to come up with anything interesting to do when they're not training and their influencer wives are in Dubai for business.

    So they turn to gambling, only it has to be big bucks on the line if it is to actually give them a thrill. Naturally, some of them will have a problem controlling their gambling habits and eventually become full-blown addicts.

    Even for an addict gambler, betting on your own team is a very foolish thing to do. Still, if the problem is that he's a gambling addict, that means he's ill and I hope he gets better and returns for us. If he knew this would be coming when he signed for us, he's definitely gone down in my estimation.

    Like I already said earlier, I reckon this is why he’s here,to try and escape a football ban in Italy. He didn’t want to be here,imo, Milan told him he had to move, and that’s why he hasn’t really performed to the standard of the fee we paid, I think he’s been pretty average. I know the fans love him, and he is a good player, but not the one Eddie “fell in love with” some time ago when watching him play in Italy. I think Eddie will be gutted about all this,and very angry!

    You could be right. We'll have to wait and see what the details show, although it is my understanding that it is now confirmed he has placed bets on his own team in Italy.

    Could he go out on loan to Saudi? Or is it likely to be a total worldwide ban?
