He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, there are certain bets that were named that he does not recall making, but he eventually took responsibility for them so the whole process could get wrapped up asap.
Toney added that he had to get the entire investigation over with because having the accusation hover around him was beginning to affect his focus on the pitch.
His words, “There are some bets in there that I donβt recall making. The bets on my team to lose when I’m not playing, the majority of those were within the bets that personally I think I didn’t do, but I still took responsibility for them so the whole process could get cleared up.”
“Get it over and done with because having that hovering over me and trying to concentrate on my career is not the best thing. I done well to finish on 20 goals with that hanging over me.”
“This was when I was away. I know my post did go to my parents. Of course your parents want to know what’s going on. There were actually times where she’s (Toney’s mother) opened it and she’s said certain things about it.”
“As you were young it’s like a little flutter they call it – you’re in like the fair, arcade kind of thing just trying to win a little change. I’d say like around 15. I’d say the more money you get, the higher the stakes go.”
“In terms of thinking ‘do you have a problem’, you don’t think of ‘if I lose this, this is going to happen’.”
“You never think of the negatives, you always think of the positives, and being on the money I was on, ‘it’s fine I’ll get that at the back end of the month’, or ‘he owes me this, it’s fine’.”
“I’d sort everything I needed to pay for first and then it’s like ‘I’ve got this to play with’. I took care of what needed to be cared for.”
