Corruption in English football?

[Maly]

Yes I agree with this. There will be a little trickle followed by plea bargaining and exemptions from prosecution. There will be a queue of legal/Police folk with a beady eye on promotion.

You mean like when cartels are taken down? ;)

Didn’t Delroy Facey and another player go to prison over match fixing in the football league?

The police, to my best knowledge, will investigate any law breaking, irrespective of interested parties. This thread, if you read the thread title (always helps)!is about English football. I’ve watched city since I was 6 and football in general since the same age. Yet to see any person or persons charged in court with corruption in those 47 years so that’s the basis for my thoughts. I may have missed some huge case or cases and, as requested, would happily like to read them if I have. Do send me the details if you have them. As I say, the last 47 years, so plenty of scope...

The police ...lol

He means Murkyside Constabulary, you know the ones who investigated the coach attack but couldnt find any evidence to identify just one person out of a thousand had done anything wrong.
Or maybe he means GMP, you know, the ones placed into Special Measures by the government after it as found they were deliberately and illegally not recording (never mind not investigating) serious crimes.

It would be naive to think English football isn’t corrupt. Where there is money there is corruption. The two are never far away from each other.

and where money, poor oversight and governance and a media disinterested in challenging the status quo coexist then you can be almost certain that corruption is rife.
