What a 🔔🔚 he is
"Paqueta, who joined West Ham from Lyon for an initial £36.5m in August 2022, said he was "extremely surprised and upset" by the charges"I 'bet' he was, especially when getting collared
The FA aren't going to go public unless their case is rock solid
Especially as this has been going on for 9 months
It would take an organised betting scam to reap material proceeds
He cant bet himself, obvs, so needs to do it via associates
The associates will all want their cut & me thinks he'll be benefitting not a lot
How to blow a £150k a week contract which runs until 2027
The FA could come down very hard on him
Given what the bets are linked to
There's a big difference with Pacqueta & other players
Other players betting on their team to win
Or on matches they arent playing in for example if they happen to know that a key player is injured however this isnt public knowledge
Hence more advantageous odds
Betting on being yellow carded can have material impact on the outcome of the match
A deliberate yellow followed by an accidental second yellow a mis-timed tackle etc
Down to ten men & the match can change
I'm presuming that the FA have been doing their research
Soon as the matter is made public other stuff can surface
If only coz people are crapping themselves & want to try & put themselves on the right side of things
The Irons seeing one of their most expensive signings @ £51m & best players potentially facing a lengthy ban will impact the club
Nearly an impact expensive per match as the loan fee that West Ham paid City + the wages for KP
For the square root of FA
