So its almost 10 years since the great premier league heist... I know most people are over it... Obviously I'm talking about lecisester.
It ruined football for me.. no matter how much I ignored it I just couldn't believe.... And the problem was it made no sense.. Accepting the tiniest bit of a fix just spiralled into a totally ridiculous seenario... How could they cheat THAT much and not get caught.. Or why would the other teams not just out them...?
It's nonsense because it makes no sense. For a while I thought... Well, maybe it was because VAR was coming in... The people in football who were fixing thought they'd make one last big payday before their dodginess got VARred out of existence... But that was too much of a stretch... plus having seen VAR it hasn't made a difference to that either....
When it came to that season, the fix obviously included players, refs and broadcasters... And that makes no sense? I could just never think of any reason that all these groups would collude on something so brazen...
Until... The premier league ended officially in 2021(?) with the super league announcement...?
Everything fell into place...
Football Leaks gave us preliminary contracts for the Super League as far back as 2017... Some of the papers already caught the club officials meeting with Super League people around that time too... But I never put 2+2 together until it actually happened and we woke up that day to the end of the PL and Sky's panic...
If you don't pay attention to the severeness of this situation... The death of english football.. The money being ripped right out... Then you won't respect the lengths that might be gone to to save it... That's why I want to bring this thread back now...
So we have leaks and info from 2017.. but when did this final and successful push for the super league actually begin...? Well.. it was clearly before the leicester heist...
1. Sometime around 2015 english football realises that it's about to end... The people inside know the Super League will happen soon...
2. Everyone shits their pants...
3. Players, agents, clubs, broadcasters... all realise their money is under big threat.. And not just their money... a 150 year legacy... But mostly their money..
4. What is the PL going to be like without the big 5 teams...? That's what their asking...
5. The big agencies are the power play... Key, Base, Stellar... They also have the most players who only make so much money because there are loads of better players playing higher up the division... All of their players are fully on board...
6. The shadowy figures who run football across the big clubs are given the memo... They'll take a dive for the season... The big club players know they'll be making super league money, so Mondial, Gestifute etc are also on board...
7. Almost all PL games can be decided by the players from these 5 or 6 big agencies/agents...
9. Leicester are picked.. They know how to do it as they were already on it at the end of 14/15 to stay up.. See the Huth/Bonar connection...
10. The operation is official... Bonar is ditched and Mapei, through Ranieri, enlisted.... (see Sassi (Chel)/Azzalin (Leic) and note Mourinho's illegal squad wide drug test after taking over from Ranieri...
11. Yes, this probably included a deliberate ousting of Pearson hence all the funny business and strange comments... Why? He (or anyone english) isn't credible to win the PL...
12. And it's done... the most memorable PL season of all time and Man u Man City Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea are all irrelevant to the story...
13. A little unsure here.... Im thinking that the take overs of FIFA and UEFA might have brought more information to light, or given more power to our interests in stopping the super league, so that Leicester didn't need to be followed up on and normal service could resume....
14. Lineker presents MOTD in his pants, which he always knew he was going to do...
15. Declan Hill ensures us that it wasn't a fix..
16. The story is over...
Not sure about seasons outside of 15/16, but this one was thew wwe level of charade that people ask about.
Wondering if anyone else has the possible connection between the Super League and the possible fix that season...?
