Sandro Tonali admitted to making bets on AC Milan matches during his time with the Serie A side; Italy international midfielder joined Newcastle for £55m this summer; 10-month ban would see Tonali miss the rest of the season and Euro 2024, should Italy qualify
There needs to be a long hard look at football and it’s relationship with the predatory betting industry.
The pearl clutching at people and fans showing support and solidarity for someone who’s admitted he has an addiction from people on Reddit the past few weeks has been embarassing too btw. Some of you are always harping on about mens mental health when it’s a favourite player but when it actually comes to it they’re all dick and nee balls 👍🏼
He didn’t use proper avenues. He bet illegally. Probably because betting companies. Legit ones. Limited him down.
So he went else where to place more bets. He also recruited other people. Why is he immune to criticism. Because he claimed he has an addiction? Like every other footballer who does this?
Being a gambling addicted does not mean you are addicted to gambling on your own team. You can bet on anything.

They had long hard look at it. However they’ve only seen money that comes with it.
