In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Of course not, but the speed at which it’s been addressed is ludicrous. The club absolutely deserved clarification before now.
Unfortunately it’s not, but I think he is a great footballer and would really help those around him to be better too.
He's not top drawer like Kane or others mentioned but I've no doubt he would be quite effective for us as long as he can handle the pressure, that's not a given, I've seen too many "top" players join United and just can't handle it, but that's the risk you take when bringing players in

From what I am hearing I would be over the moon with a ban till the end of the year

Oh no, that bad?!
Yeah not sounding too good but very unlikely we will find out today now.
The ban is only at England comps right?
As seen with Paratici, bans can be extended worldwide
Would only miss the start of the season if this is true.
If we can't get Kane would be the next best option.
What is the point of waiting til the end of the season to dish out a 6 month ban? Half of which will be served during pre-season. It's a farce!
Oi don't start turning on your own - leave poor Ivan be, one of the best things to ever come out of Northampton surely.......
Undoubtedly! I never thought he would go on to reach this level.Probably to be lenient
Buy him. Get him fit and rapier sharp for the second half of the season.
If they don't want him to miss 6 months of actual football, they should just wait until August and issue a 3 or a 4 month ban. Would look a lot less ridiculous.
No pedofile or rapier jokes, should go without saying but I know what some of you are like
3rd best striker in the league, carried Brentford with his goals and you don’t want him? He’s only marginally behind Kane with his stats this season but everyone wants Kane right?

Pathetic if they ban him. The bloke clearly needs help and to punish him further would be stupid.
I'm not sure I'd describe 22 vs 14 non-penalty goals as "marginally behind". Kane is significantly better than Toney.
Kane plays for a significantly better team
Four points between them, with Brentford having the better goal difference. I wouldn't call that "significantly better" either, that Spurs team is dreck.
Dodgily been allowed to drag this out for about 3months, conveniently meaning that the ban will probably start 20th or so May, being able to serve half of it over the closed season.
That's not right surely?
That's not right surely?
That's down to the authorities not Toney. It's their gift to get this sorted, and it's also completely up to them how they set the ban.
What's dodgy about it? Have you compared to other cases as this seems a pretty standard timeline. Or are you still annoyed by the hattrick in the 7-2 a couple of seasons ago

Giving a player a six month ban when there's no competitive games for three months is a little bit dodgy.
Surely it should either start from next season or be a certain amount of games?
Yeah you would think so
That very well could be taken into account. It would have been a three month ban, but because it's going to include the off-season they bumped it up to six months.
Or perhaps not. Nobody knows at this stage, and perhaps never will. Plus it's not like we've heard anything official so it might easily be more or less than six months.
Spurs have been shit this year but their team is in no doubt better than semi newly promoted Brentford.
Not when it's standard practice though - not aware of any other time based bans that are set up to not include periods of time when there are not games going on or delayed specifically to start with the commencement of competitive games. Should Ivan Toney be selected for special treatment? This nothing new for this type of ban (time based) Rio Ferdinand got an 8 month ban for that testing debacle and that included the close season - how dodgy was that.
Why? Trippier/Barton got a time based ban for their betting misdemeanours. Don't understand the logic of wanting Ivan to be treated differently....
What an idiot. Could have got himself a big money move this summer too.
I don't want him treated differently. I think all bans should be on a match basis otherwise you can circumvent using the summer.
Well they’ve given him a Three month ban haven’t they. It’s only 6 because he won’t be playing for 3 months.

He's now outside offering passers by 3-1 odds on the duration of his ban.

Wycombe had a player done for a lesser version of the same crime. Didn't seem to take them this long.
Must be big club bias
Anyone with any sort of reason or logic would think so.
Got to pay for the fine somehow....
