Ivan Toney could end up costing Brentford tens of millions of pounds with his bets. The price of gambling really could be high here...
Oh Mister Toney, whatever did you do? In a sense, we already know the answer to this question. The Brentford striker has been charged with – and pleaded guilty to most of –between 2017 and 2021, and the sanctions for players who are caught betting on matches can be severe. Joey Barton’s 1,260 bets over a period of ten years cost him an 18-month ban which was later reduced by five months on appeal.
Two years later, Kieran Trippier was banned for ten weeks and fined £70,000 for telling friends to “lump on if you want” over him moving from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid during the summer of 2019. Fifty years later the matter of match-fixing raised its head again when systematic match-fixer Jimmy Gauld, who’d fixed matches across a career that lasted for several years across both Scotland and England, sold his story to a newspaper.
But while there is also another aspect to all of this which does warrant attention, which is that the placing of 262 over the course of four years should raise questions regarding matters of addiction. None of this is to say that Ivan Toney is a gambling addict, still less that to be one reduces his agency in what he has done, but if Toney does turn out to have an addiction then he deserves help and support rather than vituperation and baseless accusations of having ‘cheated’.
Brentford may well end up paying a high price for their striker’s misdemeanours. In eighth place in the table and unbeaten in the league since October 23, Brentford have the scent of European football in their nostrils and with 15 goals in all competitions, Toney has been an integral part of Thomas Frank’s plans. He could be looking at a suspension that lasts for months, and no-one else has scored more than five for them this season.
