Daniel Sturridge charged with breaching betting rules

Unless his Cousin comes along and says Danny told me to put money on him leaving he has no case to answer. The FA cannot dictate what conversations family members have. If a player says he fancies scoring today and then does on that basis he could be in trouble if one of his family puts a few quid on him.

BBC reporting his cousin lumped £10k on him leaving last January and that’s what’s triggered this........

PS: they also say we’re signing Demirbay in January 🤔

I clicked that link to find the story is not from the BBC, it's just their gossip column. It's from a paper I won't mention. You need to be more careful. We don't want to be blaming Danny's relatives because of rumours from such a rag.

Excellent point Ribs - clearly I missed that. Lecture not required however.

I never notice where the links are from - and don’t follow them - I just read the gossip.

Apols to all - post deleted

But what are the rules?

You can't tell me that players are supposed to keep a vow of silence? Sworn secrecy?

There are numerous people who will know about the movement of a player, and many of those will be close family. It simply has to happen. Can you imagine the situation with a player's wife/partner. "Where were you last night?", "Oh, I've just signed for Barcelona. We're moving to Spain. We have a new house in a quiet town. I sold ours. The children have a new school. I couldn't tell you before, but it's been confirmed today so...".

It's ludicrous. Look at transfer day with players openly driving into Club car parks for medicals. It's hardly secret stuff.

erm yes they are, its called a f**king NDA, when there is a possible transfer occurring the player should not go blabbing to all his mates about it, its the same in almost all employment contracts concerning confidential information.

When I tested some video games in the past I had to sign those. Basically said not to tell anybody who isn't staff or other testers that you're even a tester until the game is officially released etc..

It took the feckin' FA best part of 2 months to decide not to charge Firmino over allegations that he racially abused Mason Holgate, the Everton defender.

How long will they deliberate over this latest attempt to do Sturridge. They need to get to the bottom of this quickly as speculation is rife. Get it done sharpish. Just wonder how much representation he's getting from yer man Taylor over at the PFA.

Careful FK10.......he might have to kill you now.......🕵️‍♀️

Hope he uses his left hand

Anyone offering any odds on him getting a hefty fine & possible ban?

If im Sturridges mate and he tells me he's off to West Brom then 1 he has a right to do that and 2 I'm cashing in on it down the bookies.

Bookies shouldn't offer markets on sh*te like transfers if they don't like to lose out.

They're quick enough to profit on all the bogus transfer rumours that cause punters to place bets.

People betting isn’t an issue for the bookie. It’s that they got an irregularly high amount of bets on something that was an outside chance of happening.

They are required to report it. They’re just doing their job.

When I signed an NDA it was only valid until the game got released. In Sturridges case his NDA was probably valid until either club announced the transfer.

Daniel Sturridge: England forward given more time over alleged betting breaches

Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge has been granted more time to respond to a Football Association charge over alleged breaches of betting rules.

The 29-year-old now has until 11 February to respond after being charged in November.

It is alleged Sturridge breached one rule relating to betting on football, and one which covers providing information relating to football.

A Liverpool spokesman said he had "co-operated fully" throughout the process.

The club added that the England international "stated categorically that he has never gambled on football".

Sturridge, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in 2013, spent the second half of last season at West Brom after moving on loan on 29 January.

He has won 26 caps for England, the last of which came against Lithuania in October 2017.

Wonder why he's been given more time?

Whatever it is, its bigger than him....

If I am on the right lines this is about a family member betting on something not Daniel and I cant see how they can stop this they cant prevent family talking to each other
