Match fixing in England - a myth?

Postby PeterParker » Wed Oct 15, 2025 5:23 pm

So, does it exist?
If yet, to fit an agenda (see favouritism Scouse/rags got) or betting?

Match fixing has happened in Italy, Germany, France… so it’s fair to at least ask if English football is truly immune. With the rise of betting companies and the money flowing through every part of the game, the temptation and the opportunities are bigger than ever. I’m not saying it’s widespread, but it’s hard not to wonder if the Premier League’s clean image tells the whole story.

So, does it exist? It is known and not flashed out, so the Premier League can keep its glamour and be a milking cow when it comes to TV rights and sponsorships?

Halsey said years ago he was told how to referee. He got told to be quiet and it was swept under the rug
