I’d love to know the details of this. If it was just friend of a friend heard he was moving clubs then it’s incredibly harsh. If Trippier is guilty in some part of suggesting someone profits from the transfer via the bookies then it’s another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Valencia in bottom 3, what a horribly badly run club it's been in last 5 years. Worst thing is they were actually getting things right in last few years, won Copa del rey v Barca and finished top 4 in 18/19. They sacked Marcelinho for takin the cup too seriously apparently. Sold some big players but still got some good ones in the squad so morale must be at all time low. Will be one of the biggest relegations in the major euro leagues we've seen for a long time given they won two La Ligas and made two CL finals in the 2000s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably shouldn’t be allowed to bet on this stuff I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone grassed him up... but regardless of that, it shouldn’t even be a crime. If the bookies want to have a book on it then it’s their problem if the player tells people it’s happening. I don’t understand why the FA are protecting the gambling companies profits. Its back go front. The FA should have backed the player and said it’s up to him who he tells about a transfer. If paddy power or whoever want to take bets on it then it’s on them but the player cannot be held responsible for telling his friends and family he’s moving countries.

Nobody types like that especially among friends I thought that, but then if it’s fake then he’ll be suing them for lots of money and apologies. Edit: everyone seems to be reporting the same transcript. Getting caught seems to have been triggered by the fact that the same friend put a whole series of bets on over a couple of days. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Edited January 6, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story here the 'lump on' text is probably the only incriminating part of that conversation...but should a footballer that has non-footballer mates put disclaimers before every conversation they have? "by entering into this conversation with myself you agree not to use this information for financial gain, either via gambling or otherwise etc etc" but on the flip side, he is privvy to information that is not in the public eye. i have had access in previous jobs to company takeovers before they hit the public eye, and if i was found to message a mate or family member "buy shares in......" then i'd be sacked, even though i didn't do the share deals myself. there's almost certainly something in his contract preventing him releasing non public information to friends or family. the thing is, virtually every scenario where he would talk to mates about goings on either in the club or personally could be gambled upon. "few of the lads are losing trust in the gaffer mate" could easily then lump on his manager being next to leave. "trying a new formation this saturday...some great new set piece drills too...lads are well up for it pal...should tune in to watch"...mates could then punt on atletico to win. in this situation, he categorically knew his mate was betting as a result of the info being given. he should probably have told him not to. his mate makes the bets anyway, then at least KT is off the hook Edited January 6, 2021 by tomav84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think the FA needs to be investigated on this as well. Why are they always in support of the bookmakers, this needs to be looked into 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Trippier has been charged with breaking several betting rules that are in place which he would have been aware of. Whether there should be betting rules for this kind of thing is another debate, but the fact is he knowingly broke FA rules and seems to have been caught red handed.

S-Platt Posted January 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2021 I am sure friends of agents are always quids in so telling your mates you have a move lined up as a player is hardly crime of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
