Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

Paqueta is said to be deeply shocked by the allegations, with the player said to be privately claiming his innocence.

Sources have indicated that Paqueta will now seek advice from his legal team as the FA’s investigation gets underway. Those discussions are likely to have already started.

Daily Mail article.
 
That looks bad. Although the full story would need to come out. Big bullet dodged by the looks of things. Someone smiling on city with this leak before we spend a fortune.
You say dodged and somebody smiling on us, I expect we discovered it because we were doing our job properly before rushing into it , like some people wanted and expected us to. It isn’t luck.
 
Funny how we’ve had numerous posters slagging the club off
Saying just get it done etc we can only do a release clause deal
Then we find out the real reason
Just shows the club know more than the majority of fans
Did you say “majority”???

Could you name just a few fans who know MORE than the club, please?
 
For those who can’t access or don’t want to:

“The investigation started from a bet on Paquetá's yellow card in West Ham's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, on March 12, for the Premier League.

The Brazilian midfielder took the yellow in the 24th minute of the second half.

Initial analysis showed that on that day several new accounts were created at Betway, account linked with people close to Paqueta, with users depositing the maximum amount allowed. These accounts made a married bet to increase the winnings: the authors would only receive the money if Paquetá took yellow against Villa and if the striker Luiz Henrique, from Betis, received the card against Villarreal, on the same day on March 12.”

For someone curious and not into betting, could someone give a rough estimate of how much money such a bet would yield? Double yellow bet, maximum amount, that is.
 
But not to lose, IIRC.

Put a “no betting under penalty of contract cancellation and return of wages paid” clause in contracts!!

Need to be draconian penalties to stop it dead in its tracks.
That’s why he got dropped from the England squad and fairly serve penalty/ban
He bet on Brentford to lose 13 times
