England squad announcement

Jordan Stevens got banned for 6 weeks for 52 breaches so you’d think a huge ban incoming but this is the FA so I’m sure there will be little consistency

I guess much will depend on the detail of the bets. Sturridge ended up with 4 months for just a handful of breaches, when friends/family bet on his possible next club. Trippier got 10(?) weeks for something similar. If the bets were just random bets on other football matches, not involving him, then maybe he gets off with a couple of months but if there's anything linked to transfers or his own matches then he could be out for a very long time.

Well no, because if this wasn't happening there's no way they don't go with him ahead of Wilson.

Trippier got 10 weeks didn't he? I imagine is found guilty Toney misses the rest of the season.
 
Sturridge got 4 months for 11 betting breaches. Though it was 6 weeks until the FA appealed the decision so it will be interesting to watch what the FA do here.

I think the FA were just worried that he'd bet on England going home early and Southgate getting the chop and not to mention gambling is illegal in Qatar.
 
It seems that if he's not bet on his own team losing then the maximum ban will be 6 months.

I reckon it'll be 2-3 months, depending on the severity of the bets could be more. That's totally screwed us.

I'd heard that the investigation has been going on a lot longer than 7 months... and it probably started around the time of his final bet. I also think the FA leaked the story a few weeks ago to dampen the noise around him not being selected for the WC.

It's going to cost us though... we're either going to need a new striker in January or go back to Wissa and Mbuemo up front. When we were forced to play those two for several games earlier in the season when IT was out injured... we were terrible!

It's not simply a case of the number of breaches but what these breaches were. Sturridge (and Trippier) were charged after friends or family placed bets on their transfers. This type of thing and or players betting on matches they're directly involved in is a big no no. If Toney has only been betting on random matches or things he's not involved in then, although against the rules, isn't quite as bad.

It's crazy you can bet on transfers, new managers etc when these are not chance occurrences or possibilities. They are absolute certainties.

The maddest thing about betting rules regarding transfers is the FA hold players accountable if any information they provide leads to somebody betting on that transfer happening.

A player could be making a life changing transfer, moving city, country or even continent and they're expected not to tell pretty much anybody just in case that person places a bet on the transfer.

But even if they don't tell their mates, there are certain people that are going to find out. Removal companies, relocation specialists, estate agents, tax agents, accountants, even the babysitter!
 
It looks like it was over a 4 year period, 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021.

Until he joined Brentford in 2020 he was playing in the lower leagues. If he stopped betting when he joined Brentford, this might not have been an issue?.

Well he's been charged so it clearly is still an issue. This isn't a PL rule but a FA one - there's a blanket ban on betting for all players, managers, coaches and club staff*.

*I assume this only covers high level executives and staff involved in the football side of clubs.
 
Good old Southgate up to his usual tricks.

Im guessing he's got the cob on with Ben White after he came home early at the WC....

Poor Dunky :(

Can understand March not making it in given the competition for that role, but I feel sorry for Dunk getting overlooked again.
