Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I reckon there's a fair chance he'll be back in Italy in a season or two on a cut price deal.

 

I said that before this betting scandal. Italians struggle to settle in PL. They are real hit or miss. Mainly miss.

[Gemmill 34508]

He looked a hit when he was playing tbf. The period training under Howe won't have doje him any harm either. Common sense will prevail here and he'll be lining up at the start of next season.

Not when Maldini comes in as technical director and brings a cohort of his pals over. Maldini will know which ones have a paddy power account too ensuring we avoid such occurrences in the future.

I don't share your optimism. I think the scroats at the FA will use him as an example, and there'll evidently be considerable support from other clubs in the league. 

A great player he is but it does beg questions about the level of due diligence we did on the lad before spending £55m on him.

[Toonpack 6866]

If it’s anything other than a concurrent ban it’s a fucking outrage.

[Alex 30433]

I reckon he’ll get done for breach of contract if there’s another ban on top of the current one. Hopefully the FA will see sense and any additional ban would be considered unduly harsh. I won’t hold by breath though. It would also be a harsh move by the club but they’d probably not really see any other option thanks to FFP rules. And if all that were to happen then I think his whole career would be in jeopardy. It would be a terrible way to treat an addict imo. I’m not just saying that because he’s our player. As I tend to agree he’s not that likely to make it here either way

I don't agree on either point. The FA won't be canvassing for support from other clubs in their decision, it's nowt to do with them, and if someone has a gambling addiction in a profession where you're not allowed to gamble, he'd be keeping it well under wraps. 

 

He basically got found out cos that cunt at Villa (?) grassed on him.

This is Toneys rap sheet, almost 300 in 4 years. Shady Sandy is on the rack for 50 in 3 months. I think he’s fucked tbh. he’s only been banned for the ones he put on  at Milan

 

 

[Holden McGroin 4869]

There would be little point in banning him again…..So they’ll probably do it

Other than the FA treating his betting in Italy and England as one breach at the moment, that’s all accurate

[PaddockLad 14602]

He’s not been punished for betting on premier league games. Seeing as it’s an addiction issue and he’s only harming himself it would be beyond harsh to ban him again. A ban suspended for 5 years or something would be appropriate so he’s certainly less tempted to do it again. A block on betting apps from App Store or Google play would help too .But maybe he moved from Italy to England precisely because there’s several walk in bookies on most high streets whereas Italy doesn’t possess any

The club will have been falling over themselves to comply with the FA investigation. They're not gonna hand him a ban that runs beyond the end of his existing one. 

 

He's been charged, he'll now plead no contest or whatever the FA charge equivalent is, and they'll quickly move to say due to the club and player's cooperation and the fact that he's already served a lengthy ban, he has a concurrent ban which ends at the same time as the other one. 

 

It's in nobody's interest to further punish the bloke. I caution you all to stop being ABSOLUTE BRENDAS about this whole thing. 

 

Some of you HAVE THE NERVE to call Craig Hope negative.

There's one just round the corner from that Wetherspoons he ended up in, for a start. THE PLOT THICKENS.

That all does make sense but many of us did rather shrug off the charges last year too before he was suspended for 10 months  

 

I know its not the same thing but it's going to take a few more years of being run like a normal club before the ingrained bedwettingness subisdes from the general fan base. 

 

I get the points being made about Italians in the PL but I thought he was very promising before the ban. A proper Eddie Howe player with tehnical attributes on top. If he can put all this behind him and start the new season fully fit there's a good chance he can be a success.

Calm down Gemima  .. you’re the one having fits of the vapours but the rest of us need to cool it?  

 

He’ll start pre season in July looking to start the first game of the season or he won’t…we’ll have plenty of notice to make a plan if he receives another ban…. 

 

 

[Gemmill 34508]

I'm the one calming things, SLUMLORD! You're the one saying "I think he's fucked".

 

Apologise.

[aimaad22 3472]

Everton's next FFP hearing is coming up, give Gemmill some space.

[PaddockLad 14602]

Yeah but am very calm when I’m saying it and there’s fuck all we as fans can do anyway. You’re as usual metaphorically sat on top of a Christmas tree covered in glitter shouting “DONT PANIC” like some sort of camp Corporal Jones

Seeing as he's banned for the first two games of next season I wouldn't bet on it.

Let's remind ourselves about THAT SHIRT before we go throwing accusations of campness around.

How long have the FA known about this btw? Sitting on it until there are 10 games of the season left is taking the piss. As is docking points from Forest/Everton half way through a relegation battle whilst taking forever to put a sanction on City
