Sandro Tonali might be addicted, but surely not to betting on his own team, and Newcastle really should have smelled a rat. They won’t find much sympathy here…, and Newcastle are almost certainly very f***ed off, not with their player – for whom a reported betting addiction is enough to merit compassion rather than condemnation – but with the club who couldn’t sell him fast enough in what was considered quite the coup for the Magpies over the summer.
What was already thought to be an excellent signing before he had played a game for Newcastle was confirmed as a stroke of genius during his Premier League debut; Tonali scored after six minutes in the 5-1 win over Aston Villa and ran the game at St James’ Park. ‘How have we pulled this off?’ wondered an army of Toon fans.
We’ve got no evidence and neither will Newcastle as they look for compensation, unless Tonali tattles on his former club. But there will be little sympathy for the Public Investment Fund of Newcastle, a) because they’re the Public Investment Fund, and b) because they would have smelled a rat had they done their due diligence rather than revelling in a deal that was too good to be true.
