None. Different game up  there.

Like I said a while ago, it's OK for the owner of Brentford to make his money betting on football and for betting sponsorship of teams, but not for Toney to stick a grand on Auxerre v Rennes.

Corrupt bastards 

It depends for me if any of the charges relate to games he was playing in and can influence. Not sure why someone on decent money needs to be trying to make money betting anyway unless there's an addiction issue.

Doesn't matter if it was related to games he was playing in, well, it's pretty clear that footballers can't bet on football.... Ok, SHOULDN'T as per the FA's rules and regs.

I know the rules, if they were all bets on say Chinese league matches then it's not an issue for me, if it involves clubs he's playing for or the league he's in then that different

The issue there is, there are so many players that know each other and the rules reflect that. 
Say…. A Chelsea player got into bother for betting on a game in China for example… on the face of it, as you say, it’s on another continent etc there’s no connection. Well…. Oscar was at Chelsea… 

There are opportunities that can be used. And I think it’s better to totally rule it out.

He’s pleaded guilty to 262 betting charges against him!

If he doesn’t get a long ban, the jobs fucked. 

Thing is there doesn't seem to be a sliding scale of sorts. 

Joey Barton got 18 months for over 1200 bets but, last year, two Boston Utd players only picked up 5 months for 757 bets. Most recently Chris Maguire got a paltry 6 weeks for 52 bets. 

If you take the Maguire precedent then Toney will pick up roughly 6 months. If it starts soon then it carries through the close season (the rule is all football activity) and he could be back playing in September.

Wants to start it as soon as possible so some of the time is spent during the Summer when no football is being played. Taking piss. 

He'll be having a little cry next and get away with it. 

 

Happens to Wednesday and the game is over for them

Happens to Wednesday and we’d be liquidated
