Anyone have any more info?

The one line I can see mentions him betting on us to win. Don't really see why there would be an issue with that - if he'd bet on us losing or done some sort of spot bet like first yellow card then fair enough but backing your team to win hardly seems like a crime.

Then again, if there are rules and they have been broken then there may well be consequences.

He could be in real trouble if true as the rules on betting are very strict if your a club employee. I should think a lot of staff have a bet though

Anyone think he's trying to force his way out to sell his shares by continuing and countless acts of stupidity? First Van Gaal now this. Not subtle at all Johnny boy

I don't understand what's the matter? If you're a director of a small club, and bet your club to win against one of the biggest clubs in the world, I can't see the harm. In fact I think it shows loyalty and commitment to your club.

They will have decided that a blanket ban to deter any shenanigans is easier than investigating all than individual circumstances (in fact that would be impossible). That probably means they'd have to throw the book at him as a deterrent.

What we haven't established yet is if it is him and if it is has he broken any rules? If it is then there is a fair chance he has but not sure if betting rules extend to directors so it remains to be seen. Bit of a loon whatever.

Nobody who is considered a stakeholder within the club is allowed to bet on any football worldwide. This even extends to the tea ladies and kit men. 👍

He is not a player or a match official and has no influence over the outcome, he should be able to bet his house

What he should and shouldn't be able to do is irrelevant.
What is relevant, has he broken any betting rule associated with being a director of a football club? in this case it looks like he has.
If that impacts on him, then so be it....if it impacts on the club then that's a diferent matter.
I haven't met the guy, but from the accounts I hear of people that have, he seems to be a top fella, but he really needs to realise that being a director, especially of a premiership team, he needs to conduct himself in the appropriate manner.

Concisely and accurately put!

It doesn't matter if you think the rule is stupid. It is still the rule. If you are going to break the rule, at least have the common sense not to broadcast it.

Indeed. 'We had predicted' the text reads. Could be anyone's slip. If it is though, he'll get done. £20 is neither here or there, but rules is rules.
