Wimbledon Chairman Sam Hammam was angry over “unfair” treatment of Vinny Jones

Wimbledon owner Sam Hammam was angry and attacked the punishment handed out to Vinny Jones and claimed that Former Tottenham star Paul Gascoigne got away with murder compared to his controversial midfielder. Jones had received a record £20000 fine as well as a six-month ban from the game by the FA and Hammam felt that since the controversial Soccers’ Hard men video that led to Jones getting banned was done when he had not signed for Wimbledon, it was unfair for the club to be punished. He said “I am convinced Vinny’s reputation has a lot to do with the decision. Gascoigne dropped his pants and was called a prankster and used the f word with England and nothing was done.”
