He will no doubt earn that back by taking an appearance fee or 2 sitting in the studio for some football games on off days.......

Another that the media loves for some reason.

Maybe he's taken on the persona of his old mucka......Fat Stan Flashman!
Google him kids!

A couple of well placed bets should recoup any loss of earnings!

 

[Huntsward]

We all know he’s a bit of a wideboy but bloody hell, he should know better

 

[DonnyImp]

But! He's a geezer, one of the lads, a sports hacks matey, a character, knows Alex, is BIG Sam's buddy. Sky's one to go to for a lower league quote.

Couldnt happen to a nicer man!?

i wonder what he was betting on?

The club’s chairman, Darragh MacAnthony, tweeted: “Myself & club fully behind Barry on this. Storm in a teacup & will be resolved & full facts revealed once his hearing happens and finishes etc. Trust me on that.”

Of that four months ban, three of them were suspended so we can expect to see the chubby chappy back before the end of February.

He claims that he was placing bets against Jack Marriot being top scorer in league one. This was insurance against the bonus payment Posh were contractually obliged to pay Marriot in that event.

Rules are rules with regard to betting but if all it is is placing a bet that your club will get promoted and one of your players will be top scorer it's hardly the most underhand thing I've heard of.

Still if they started to over complicate the rules nothing would get done so best to keep it simple ie you can't bet on football if you are involved in it
