Almost like they got wind of it & tried to get him on the cheap!
PS: I don't believe they bid £80M

The whole thing is weird, even Citeh's genuine interest in Paq seemed unlikely

So i guess the bookies....
1- take the bet
2- report it as unusual
3- bank the money
4- refuse to pay as it's under investigation

Is that how it works, i'm a non-gambler, so i don't actually know?

God i hate the expression- "someone on twitter said", it may as well have been a bloke down the pub

PS: This is a general comment, not aimed at anyone in particular

I was and they were correct at the time Well yes, but my point is, were the odds reflecting what Betway knew was happening? Who's fixing odds here? In the real world they should've suspended betting, as they were taking bets on something, knowing it wouldn't happen. PS: You can probably tell i'm no...

You remember you were quoting bookies odds for Paq joining Citeh...............

I like the way people talk about "organised crime" & "betting companies" as if they are any different

Why, have you got some for sale,? your clubs seems to specialise in breaking the rules

If i was a family member & i knew someone's temperament, i may well bet on them if i knew they were pissed off about something

It seems strange that one of our star players was about to be (under)sold.
The deal has then collapsed, because an issue has been raised by our sponsor.

You can’t support a player who is attempting to fix a match. Next time it could be a red, missed penalty. There is no smoke without fire. There will always be a stigma associated with him regardless of innocence or guilt. Either way I don’t think he will ever play for us again. I doubt Moyes would ...

I bet, in spite of everything, nobody predicted this

So why do you want him banned?

Stuartslaterskitbag wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 6:17 pm Unfortunately, guilty or innocent AND YES I KNOW EVERYONE WILL POSSIBLY disagree with my opinion but until the investigation is concluded, he needs to be suspended.

Possibly

How did Citeh know about this, all seems a bit weird?

I'm sure i read that Brady was now involved in player sales, maybe she's finally started working for her money?

Seriously, some of you are like a load of girls in a school playground deciding who can be friends with who

With Twitter 'itks' and KUMB 'itks' all saying conflicting things, maybe it would be wise to take everything that is said with a pinch of salt, and not hang off their every word..
