face fitsWhat's with the media trying to push Lampard into every open job in the PL?
I'm sure the new owners will have ways to deal with "dissidents" such as that.I’m sure I recall seeing a documentary about Newcastle United back when Sir John Hall owned the club. I remember the intimation being that the North East mafia were endemic in the club which was a real problem. It brought to mind Ali Fraser from series 2 of Auf Wiedershen Pet. Wonder if Ashley sorted that or is it on Staveley’s to do list.
Only those regulated though. You wouldn't get away with a dodgy bet through Ladbrokes or William Hill of course. Far more money goes through unregulated entities.
For what it’s worth I was sat outside a Dutch bar in Koh samui Thailand a year before covid and there was a betting shop next door. You wouldn’t know it was because there was no name on it and the windows were opaque. Got talking to the bar owner Leo and told me it was purely there for football betting and the amount of footfall going in and out was very popular. Now not saying their betting rules are different to ours but looks a bit dodgy all the same.Unregulated markets are becoming less frequent but obviously still exist. The fact is they still wouldn’t pay out on what is construed a dodgy bet and there’s no recourse to challenge the decision. Furthermore the only examples of influence from Far East betting was a rumble of spot betting on Premier League games a few years ago. It was on the first throw in and I believe no money was paid out.
There’s no incentive for players, and I’ll just quote Premier League players here, to be dishonest, it’s just not worth what would be small money to them, the consequences would be a total ban from football.
If there was any evidence of corruption in the English game it would be widely known. It’s absolute bollocks the Premiership can be influenced by betting, complete nonsense.

I can get a bet on with an unregulated bookmaker at the Club I go in. It goes on all over the world, however there’s no influencing the Premier League which is what the OP was alleging.For what it’s worth I was sat outside a Dutch bar in Koh samui Thailand a year before covid and there was a betting shop next door.

Need a member of the Redknapp family in there to keep the legacy going...I wonder if he has a dog with a knowledge of tax law as well?What's with the media trying to push Lampard into every open job in the PL?
