In November 2010, we published a post detailing the 101 individuals most responsible for the demise of English football (http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/101-people-most-responsible-for-demise.html).
Five years on and circumstances suggest that we should update our database.
The reason for updating our listing at this time is the systemic corruption that now determines more than 50% of Premier League matches.
This new template of mafiosi-style corruption began, entirely coincidentally, at the time that Howard Webb became the new refereeing supremo at the Professional Game Match Officials Board (pgMOB) in March 2015.
As we blogged soon afterwards, 18 of the first 38 EPL games following Webb's appointment had their outcomes known pre-match in one particular European underground market i.e. the matches were fixed (http://trichotomoustriptychities.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/premier-league-football-is-fixed.html).
As soon as we made this systemic corruption public, this matchfixing activity ceased...
... in the short term.
From the beginning of season 2015/16 an entirely new systemic matrix has been in place distorting betting markets globally while making small fortunes for the perpetrators.
And, last week, in a governmental input to the shades of corruption, Chancellor of the Exchequer Gideon Osborne handed over £3m to Chinese government to promote Premier League football - one of the few areas of growth in the UK economy is the corruption related to the people's game.
Charlatans one and all.
Included in the list below are some of the individuals orchestrating and activating these frauds.
It should be noted that the list below excludes journalists and individual traders/market makers as they are merely the soulless lackeys of sociopathy.
