I think it was just too good a player to turn down, as he could be a potential game changer and be way too good for this league if he clicks quickly
when someone in that mould comes available I think we are always interested
more likley if we got him as cover its probs because of forss than mcgree
It's easy to talk about supporting mental health when you're making £44.5 million post-tax profits per quarter (Kindred Group's own figures for Q2 2024) from people gambling money they may not have or be able to afford. Not all of us can put a flutter on the FA Cup Final and leave it at that.
I'm honestly not a censorious person by nature. I respect people's rights to do as they please, and I'm a big advocate of freedom of speech. Normally. But I really do wish the Government would ban gambling advertising in the UK. Having lived with a gambling addict, I've seen how destructive it is. It's a scourge. For MFC to continue promoting gambling so brazenly, year after year, makes me respect the club a lot less. And I will never, ever buy a replica shirt with gambling sponsorship on it. Being able to buy a sponsor-free shirt at the Club Shop is a token step forward, but shame on Boro for agreeing to yet another two years of being Unibet apologists.
Put it this way - if a football club is obligated to change their sponsor on kids' shirts on moral grounds, their adult shirts shouldn't have that sponsor either. Plenty of teams have the same sponsor on every home and away shirt in their club shops.
