It's depressing. Spoiling the sport. This is how empires fall apart through greed and corruption.Yep... doesn't even seem like there hiding it anymore. I mean, they'll talk about it being offside, but it stood so that's all that matters. They'll talk about referee's making huge mistakes in games, then normally there given a game next week just as important (see Pawson, who made several mistakes in the Utd game where he didn't send off Rojo for a two-footer and booked him, and was rewarded with a City game). Yet when decisions are made which favour the "lower" teams (or usually City) there demoted for games... it's just a complete joke.
Nothing will ever be done about it as the media don't want it to change whilst there helping out the teams the media favour. Same goes for the Premier League "Brand".
The premier league will fall off its perch if it continues to manipulate the results of games and pushes their favoured clubs to the top. Fans are not stupid.
