The Football Association has opened an investigation into allegations of a breach of betting regulations by the Kettering Town manager, Liam McDonald.
The allegations are understood to be historic and relate to McDonald’s time as manager of Redditch a decade ago. They include a claim that he bet against his own team. The FA’s betting rules enforce a strict ban on any participants in the game from Step 4 upwards placing any bets on football anywhere in the world.
