There won't be much posturing in front of opposing managers now. I expect Lee Johnson might be having a quiet chuckle to himself.
Just read up on him. What a waste. And what a state of affairs, when an England International would risk his entire career to make £50 profit on a bet. I'm guessing that would be around a couple of grand at the most in today's terms!
Still pending but according to the article, Pools have a clause in to protect them "We are obviously well aware of his current situation after recently being charged by the FA in connection to betting and we know there is a possibility at some point he may miss some games this season. We have agreed a contract structure that takes this matter into account from the clubs perspective." Which probably means if he's banned he won't get paid
Pools are at Morecambe next Tuesday in the Papa John's Trophy or whatever it is now, going with the grandson and I'll give him a cheer if he's playing
