    it’s almost like footballers basically never give a shit about playing for the team they supported when young

    The irony is that betting sponsors are everywhere in football the shirt, the stadium, there’s even dozen leagues with the betting sponsor on their name like Serie Bwin, Serbian league etc. If it was such a big issue why get the money from it

    Yeah, that’s usually true but if these new players get suspended and fail to develop properly the NT may take a big hit with the available players.

    But I’m obviously being overly dramatic, even if all this ends up being true there’s still a bunch of players both experienced and young. My fear is if this is a widespread problem with the young generation.

    Braindead take aside. Why the fuck would an investigation on bets placed before he played for us be held against Newcastle fans? Not a braincell evident on this sub whenever anything remotely resembling us is mentioned.

    Honestly football is he hardest sport in world to fix. There’s 22 players as starters, bench players, there’s the managers, referees. So so many variables. And even then it takes a perfect act, which lower tier players can hardly pull off, and top players have hardly any benefit in doing so.

    In my opinion it’s more of an addiction, rather than many players corrupting the game

    Really? Didn’t know that. In Italy is more lenient, they can’t just bet on football. Depends in which country the bets were placed, I guess

    You have to prove in court that the other team knew that, if they aren’t Morons they could have hidden this under the rug and sold him at the first offer.

    I wonder how illegal it would be to sell your player if you knew he had done crimes that would lead for him to be banned. But I love that cos it’s happening to Saudi sport washing club.

    Would anything even happen if they knew though? I can’t think of any crime they’ve committed by selling him unless there’s an agreement between clubs to disclose any investigations they are aware of.

    Corona is famously shit tier source. Everyone clowned him when he released news about Fagioli, because that’s how he is usually treated.

    This is just a quick reminder to people that he isn’t Ornstein Tier0 source, it’s entirely possible he is just milking the story as much as possible.
