That’s a very good point…

He did.

He did.

I know, that was the joke. Garnacho hasn't been able to accomplish that.

Oh lol. I think I had the Mudryk clip in my head and thought you were replying to that, not the tweet here.

Wait he didnt?

25M seems reasonable enough given Newcastle making the CL and theoretically stepping into a higher tier.

Yeah, Tottenham is at 35M so 25M makes sense. But I still don't like the look

Oh for sure, it's not remotely independent and there's a 0% chance the deal gets made if Newcastle was bought by a random US billionaire instead of by the Saudi state, but at least they're not pumping fake money into the club like City was/is.

Yeah, but they can do funky things like pay it all at once or have weird bonuses or something that boost the revenue for a certain year to offset FFP.

Ivan Toney: Banned footballer bet on own team to lose, says FA

Brentford has promised to help Toney after the written reasons for his ban state the suspended forward has a gambling addiction.

He bet on his team to lose........what a guy

Gambling addiction diagnosis got Toney reduced ban

Brentford striker Ivan Toney received a reduced ban from football because of a diagnosed gambling addiction.

Addiction or no, 8 months is insanely light for the stuff he was charged with. Guy was betting on his team to lose lol.

I don't think he was playing in any of the matches he bet on to lose though. I mean not that it makes it right, but it reduces the severity of it a little bit.

Typically, authorities come down pretty harshly on anything to do with betting irregularities by players. The fact that Toney bet on his own team to lose (true he wasn't playing, but he was definitely privy to team selection/inside information), bet on games he did participate in, and on top of that repeatedly lied to investigators, and got only 8 months, to me is astounding.

Daniel Sturridge got four months for one case of passing information on an impending transfer.

Should be banned for life. Did this information come out after his punishment was dished out?

No excuses. Love the player, probably could've sold him to united for a ridiculous fee, which sucks, but 8 months for betting on your own team to lose? No punishment would be too harsh.

Having an owner who bought the team from sport gambling winnings also adds a semblance of hypocrisy.

Chelsea players have lost out on a lot of money by not following the Toney strategy.

I agree that it sends an unfortunate message that the PL is pretty easy on gambling, which of course organized crime could see as an encouragement.

It doesn't help that the institution that handed down the punishment - the FA - is also an institution which might benefit from Toney's services in the future.

I don't see the issue with athletes betting on games. As long as they aren't fixing the games it should be no different than any other person betting. Sports betting is a career now for people, they research every little thing about players and teams. There are shows based on betting and talk about who will or won't play so everyone should be on the same playing field, athletes really have no edge anymore. So as long as they are not betting on games they are playing in then I see no issues with it.
