Sandro Tonali pulled out of the Italy squad over alleged betting investigation.
I bet 1 phone call from their Saudi bankrollers and it will have no effect on him being elligible to be picked by NewSandcastle

They really are a bit thick to get caught up in this.
If they really are bored and fancy a flutter stick it on horses or even the markets.
Or alternatively donate it to charity.

They do bet on the horses and then realize that they have just bet on Bruno.

In a two horse race you should always bet on the camel.
What will happen to Tonali?
Nothing.
The brown envelopes are winging their way from Riyadh to Premier League HQ as we speak.

They will probably say it would be better that he got treatment for his addiction than be punished.
But in all seriousness if he gets banned in Italy that would also mean he’s banned for Newcastle too?
I would assume so.
His agent has stated that Tonali has got a gambling addiction, and as part of the players, and his own arrangement with Sandcastle… he has to keep them regularly updated about his players involvement
If he gets a nice hefty ban, is he still the bargain of the window and is Szoboslai still out of his depth?
Dom’s still average according to Man United blueticks on Twitter.
I check in occasionally.

Well I certainly agree there is no comparison between Szobo and Mason Mount.

Even before the probable ban he only started 1 of their last 3 PL games.

This is such a pathetic piece. It treats Newcastle limiting itself to over 100m in net spending on the back having bought an entirely new team over the previous 3 windows, as “admirable loyalty”, rather than the limit of when even a petrostate funded club can do above board within the limits of regulations on spending limits. How plucky of them to have spent as much as they are legally allowed to spend. But look…points to Jacob Murphy…we still have shit players so we’re still the Newcastle you know and love. Love us. Ignore our awfulness.

It’s been relatively easy, when their fans started abusing polite fans outside questioning the ownership over its treatment of people inside their own country and that silly wearing of Saudi headdress (well tea towels as they were with the fans)which in itself is a bit offensive.
Seems to be a lot of noise about a 10-month ban for Tonali due to his betting breaches.
I did think it odd that Tonali was sold when he was, and moved away from the Serie A - maybe his betting problems were well known and AC Milan wanted him off thier books.
