As others have already said, it doesn't always come down to individuals receiving a financial incentive. If a group of officials are instructed by their paymasters to ensure certain teams prosper for the greater good of the Premier League brand (and ultimately the continuation of the careers as a match official), then you can start to see pattern emerging across the season (penalties for/against, players missing big games due to suspension, goals disallowed, clearly offside goals given, etc.).
Do you not think that one official could of broke rank in the last 10 years and become a whistleblower?
It would be the biggest sporting scandal in history, A multi billion pound industry brought to it's knees because they wanted to stop our club.
Whoever that whistleblower was would earn millions too.
You should tell Scudamore as he's convinced the league suffers when United dont compete.The pl has never ever been in a better position than it is now. Thats down to the Chavs & Us spreading the trophies abt.
The money being generated because of how open our league is, is fuckin staggering. And thats due to rags not having it their own way.
Theres not a chance on this planet the Pl or Sky want it back how it was with the rags dominant.
Well he did say that four years ago, how have those t.v rights gone since then?You should tell Scudamore as he's convinced the league suffers when United dont compete.
As has been said numerous times mate. It's us City that has made this PL the way it is, and other teams too. The revenue has never been bigger these last few years. You think they would risk all this, Billions of pounds and as I just said certain prison sentences for folk, just to stop us and for what?
Did you not read Mark Halsey's "revelations" that he was told to change his match reports to say that he "didn't see" offences committed so that certain players could be looked into and banned by the FA? It made most of the papers at the time, and, following a denial by PiGMOL, was swept under the carpet by the media quicker than rag fans leaving Wembley after a semi final defeat.Do you not think that one official could of broke rank in the last 10 years and become a whistleblower?

He said that three years ago and since then two very poor United sides have managed to get their CL place again.Well he did say that four years ago, how have those t.v rights gone since then?
With the rags performing as bad as theve been for over 20 years too.
How has the t.v rights gone with the rags having no title challenge in the last 3/4 years.He said that three years ago and since then two very poor United sides have managed to get their CL place again.
