Ol' Big Ears is Back...
So it seems that England and Thailand are doing the mutually beneficial corruption thing - the English Premier League get Dr Thaksin Shinawatra to own a brand, and to offer inside knowledge regarding the underground Asian betting markets; Thailand get Peter Reid to manage their national team.
Do Thailand know what they are getting?
If not, the Thai FA should understand that they are offering a contract to a sub-standard manager with very close links to the British bookmaking industry.
Additionally, Reid's association with the Murdochracy will, no doubt, result in Sky showing heavily corrupted insider events featuring the Thailand team, akin to the current betting market scams involving the Australians. Can't wait...
Shinawatra is selling his nation short.
Again.

Over the years, I have had the good fortune to work with some highly talented and innovative individuals.
Unfortunately, none of them are involved in the football or betting industries.
No matter where you look, the sport is rotten with corruption, coercion, bribery, tax evasion, tax fraud, insider trading and other black market activities.
In this post, we highlight the illegal financial machinations of two Premiership managers, three British football agents, three firms of English bookmakers, three England players, fourteen Premiership referees, one Asian bookmaker, a couple of Russian oligarchs and one piss-poor poker player masquerading as a broker.
Unfortunately, the remainder of this post and all posts labelled # are available in full to subscribers only.
