Ballkani would be a great view from the hotel without tickets.

whoever it is, and let's assume it's IE

but why would the FA keep it quiet and not punish him

if they were happy to punish Toney and any other footballer like Barton, Townsend, Trippier and our very own Jerome, then why let off a manager, whoever it might be

Was just about to say, Harry Toffolo has just been "let off" with a suspended sentence and a fine for nearly 400 betting offences as well.

I have to imagine they didn't pursue it because the case itself was already incredibly complex, with the intertwining blackmail case involving two former players.

FA were probably much happier seeing the back of the whole thing with a court mandated anonymity order and hoped it would just go away, rather than try to navigate that situation legally.

Probably something like that 

I can't read the whole article as it's behind a pay wall so not sure if it looks to address potentially why the fa appeared to do nothing 

It just seems to suggest murky goings on at the FA, but I doubt they are just letting him off for no reason, or a questionable reason, or blatent double standards etc

no way it's evatt, fa are only covering up a high profile manager, and the article says just short of a million was gambled, no way IE has that sort of cash

It is absolutely Evatt, the article references the blackmail court case he was involved in. 

He had a 20 odd year career and played Premier League football, he'll be a millionaire a couple of times over. Plus, I don't think it's suggesting these bets were placed in a lump sum, or even over a short period of time.

'Only' £270,000 worth of losses though.
