Brighton In Bloom
Tony Collins: "Until the end of the Napoleonic wars much of sport was effectively controlled by 'The Fancy', an informal network of aristocrats, gentry and their hangers-on... Horse racing was never free of sharp practice in the late eighteenth century - in 1791 Sam Chiffney, the Prince of Wales's jockey had been barred from Newmarket under suspicion of fixing races. Jack Broughton's original boxing amphitheatre had closed following accusations that he had thrown a fight in which his patron, the Duke of Cumberland, had lost £10,000. Cricketers regularly bet on themselves and against each other, leaving room for considerable doubt about the transparency of the contest... 'Cheating, in every kind of 'sport', is as completely in the common order of things in England amongst the highest classes as the lowest,' wrote a German visitor to England in the 1820s"
Lallana, Heaton, J McCarthy, Christie, Aribo, Tuanzebe, Ramsdale, Forster, Egan, Bardsley, Westwood, Ajer, Flanagan, Dodgson, Brooks, Drinkwater, Mings, C.

Europol are correct in their fundamental assumption that repeated player transfers / loans between an array of clubs often indicates abuses of both the transfer and the betting markets. This becomes even more marked when a cartel of agents underpins many of these transfers - check the number of players listed above who are / have been represented by Stellar, Unique Sports Management, Wasserman / Key Sports Management or CAA / Base.
The Economist: "Cartels exist to exert control."
Moreover, the same underground intermediaries act as the catalysts for most of these player movements.
A disproportionate number of names on the list are all players whose transfers involved Glasgow Rangers under Steve Gerrard (who is an internalised commodity and is represented by Wasserman / Key Sports). In a later chapter, we will reveal how John Colquhoun moved from being Glasgow Celtic club agent to become the architect of Glasgow Rangers winning the Scottish Premier League title in 2020/21. Mr Colquhoun swings both ways.
As all fans of the game north of the border understand, the Auld Firm is both the biggest rivalry and the biggest duopoly. Peter Lawwell, the allegedly departed Celtic CEO could have sent Rangers out of existence in any form after the conveyor belt of liquidation, Sevco / Newco, Charlotte Fakes and Resolution 12, but he and the club upper hierarchy decided against ultimate power in favour of an enhanced partnership.
Indeed, welcome back at the top (of the) table, the two Auld Firm clubs have been strategising closely together over Project Big Picture while demonstrating a corresponding total lack of interest in the 'Atlantic League'. Rangers and Celtic had previously explored the option in early 2016 of taking over lower league English clubs Northampton Town and Oxford United and by promotion through the leagues (via accommodating agents, bookies and refs) produce entities ripe for the takeover when the future arrives.
Much more on Charlotte and the gangs in the second book in this trilogy by which time we might finally have recuperated from the rampant schadenfreude-prosecco parties celebrating the Green Brigade ridding Glasgow Celtic of Mr Lawwell's disservices only to find that the puppet master still pulls the strings via his proxies.
Good riddance from your throne, sir - you worked for the few rather than for the many, for the bookie rather than for the fan, for the agent rather than for the player.
Anyway.
The Cartel structure underpinned Liverpool's massive over-achievement in both seasons 18/19 and 19/20 when in the 26 matches against AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Brighton And Hove Albion, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Sheffield United and Southampton, Liverpool won 25 with the only blemish being a draw against Burnley when the 19/20 title was already secured. Additionally, Liverpool gained 5 wins and 3 draws against the senior Cartel teams of Manchester United and Leicester City.
So, in total, 30 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats. That looks like Cartel control to me. In an equivalent database, Manchester City lost 5 games to Cartel outfits.
Once we exposed these observations in a series of articles just prior to the malicious hit-and-run attack orchestrated by █████ █████ in June 2019 we knew that going public would create issues not only for the safety of members of the Football Is Fixed network but also in the matrix of corruption in the future. Particularly after Liverpool achieved their primary aim of stealing the EPL title after three decades of hurt.
And so it came to pass. Once one shines a light on shenanigans, they evolve. █████ █████ and his cohorts always respond to problematical externalities and disclosures with attempts to muddy the waters.
So, in 2020/21 Liverpool were astonishingly defeated 7-2 at Aston Villa, they were held 2 apiece by Everton when they were denied an injury time winner via an incorrect VAR decision, then defeated at home by their Merseyside rivals for the first time in 22 years, the Liverpudlians were also held to a draw by Bloom's Brighton again with spectacular VAR farces against their interests before losing at home to Bloom's men in an insider trading nirvana, they also only drew against lowly Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United before losing at Southampton and at home to Burnley, beginning a run of six consecutive home defeats (their worst home league run in history) - all of which might create doubt about our assertions of an active Cartel of teams fixing matches on behalf of Liverpool.
Apart from one salient fact - every single one of these results was insider traded pre-match by entities associated with the Anfield club. And these trades went through identical proxy routes to market - i.e. this is coordinated. The combination of the systemic corruption (which sank to new depths from the onset of Project Restart) meaning that results can be arranged on a grid over the season to enable the required realities to come to pass while allowing incredibly prescient and even more incredibly lucrative fixing of a sample of the games en route.
Things returned to the inevitable norm for season 2021/22 when Jurgen Klopp was made LMA and Premier League Manager of the Year for steering Liverpool to second place through being the most favoured side in the league at the hands of the pgMOB officials (just check the events where Stuart Attwell was referee or VAR official - and there are a lot of them) and the club also finished second in the Champions League Final despite also being the most favoured at the hands of UEFA officials.
And it isn't just Liverpool markets.
In 2020/21, Manchester United 1 Crystal Palace 3, Manchester United 1 Tottenham Hotspur 6, Manchester United 0 Arsenal 1 and Manchester United 1 Sheffield United 2 were also known shocks before a ball was kicked in corruption.
As were Manchester City 2 Leicester City 5, Leicester City 0 West Ham United 3, Leicester City 1 Fulham 2 and Leicester City 1 Leeds United 3.
All the shock results in season 2020/21 featuring Liverpool, Manchester United or Leicester City have been in the knowledge of market professionals pre-match. Seriously, what the fuck?
█████ █████ repeatedly arranges pitiful attempts to secrete these corruptions and repeatedly provides further proof of those very same corruptions. Every contact, every corruption leaves a trace like silkworms eating mulberry leaves. █████ █████ should liaise with South Sudan's Minister of Youth and Sports, Albino Bol Dhieu, who hopes that what has been "spoiled by politics can be fixed by sports."
Before moving on to the Red Devils, let's take a glance at the Blue Lizards.
It was truly heart-warming to witness Tony Bloom's heartfelt sorrow about coronavirus deaths during his interview with the Guardian's David Conn. From the bottom of his heart, Bloom was suffering heartache at the heart of his downheartedness while demonstrating his bigheartedness, openheartedly. It is disheartening that a broadsheet newspaper publishes such reputation management of an active matchfixer. It is equally heartless of Bloom to be warmhearted about deaths that he helped to energise by being the primary mover towards getting fans back into stadiums as quickly as possible after the first wave of the pandemic. Bloom is a coldhearted blackheart (amongst other things).
Brighton And Hove Albion are a key cog in the EPL corruption template. It is no longer easy to monetise your insider corruptions and trading in the marketplace as many of the underground bookmakers no longer allow organised insider trading from the UK which prevents the sweetheart rewards being reaped. Bloom's Starlizard entity (and offshoots thereof) are able to broker insider trading into this underground. This makes Mr Bloom very powerful indeed (under the protection of █████ █████ of course).
Bloom doesn't only insider trade the matches of the club he owns though. Oh no, that would not be anywhere near enough of a sociopathic sports play.
After Gus Poyet was sacked as manager of Brighton And Hove Albion, we helped him in his legal case over wrongful dismissal against the club (we have also provided support to several other individuals who have suffered from Bloom's paranoid antics e.g. the sacking of staff over unproven team selection leaks). Poyet informed me that Bloom would regularly phone him late on a Friday evening asking him to check around and gather information on global players in the Uruguayan diaspora so that Bloom could use such privileged information in his proprietary trading. Poyet was appalled. After all, why is the owner of a club allowed to be betting on any matches never mind insider trading on his own team's events and on any other event that he can get his grubby little hands on. Should the man not be focused on his own team?
In our semi-esteemed estimation, Brighton And Hove Albion will never, in Bloom's time, be relegated from the Premier League (unless he is trading on it, of course!). He is untouchable because he is the enabler, the lynchpin, the pendulum who swings to and fro and who is helping to make some very rich criminals even richer.
Because Bloom has such control over match outcomes, he utilises this confidence to guarantee the solidity of the ever-expanding Liverpool Cartel of teams. Check the Seagulls' points sharing with other cartel teams. There is little need for the standard 3-for-3 or 2-for-2 dualities as relegation isn't an issue.
In 38 matches to date (at the time of original preparation of this Chapter) against other Liverpool Cartel teams between 2018/19 and 2020/21, Bloom has decided to win just 4 games. Fourteen have been draws and the other 20 events have been defeats. 90% of these games had outcomes known both to our analysts and broker pre-match. The Cartel is consolidated in the Premier League by this coordinated corruption.
Sorry to be boring on pretty basic figures here but it is the figures that help to reveal the truth about Mr Bloom. Just one more set to endure:
From the onset of the 2018/19 season to the date of writing (February 22nd 2021), Brighton have played 101 Premier League games.
In the 38 matches against other Cartel teams (as we say above) - 4 wins, 14 draws, 20 defeats (0.68 points per game).
In the 63 other games - 19 wins, 20 draws and 24 defeats (1.22 points per game).
Not only is this indicative of Mr Bloom's core role in the notorious goings-on, it also begs the question how this man can be so confident in effectively throwing a large number of games safe in the knowledge that any points shortfall can be made up elsewhere.
We will return to these databases when we focus on the pgMOB and VAR in a later book.
We heavily analysed Bloom the man, Bloom the broker when he slithered in our vicinity. One of his little tactics came to mind over the recent Reddit-generated Wall Street Bets targeting of hedge funds. The primary platform used for placing the trades on GameStop was Robinhood.
In December 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission found that Robinhood failed in its duty to execute users' orders at the best possible price i.e. the platform secreted the real price to gain extra proprietary profit.
This is exactly the same trading tactic that sits at the heart of all Bloom's strategies - not only does he demand the best price for himself in the market but he manipulates a scalped price for clients - a nice little invisible arbitrage that generates a significant percentage of Bloom's trading profits.
Tony Bloom, not for the fainthearted.
A couple of other points that are valid at this juncture. Firstly, the transfer matrix mentioned above also includes Brentford FC. The Bees are owned by Matthew Benham, a former employee of Tony Bloom's betting operations until the pair had a lovers' tiff and fell out. The fallout from this falling out rapidly became problematical to the powers-that-be in the British game and, as consolidation is the order of the day in corruption templates, Benham and Bloom are now best buddies with the latter defending the former in a recent court case which obviously wasn't reported on by UK media.
Benham also owns Midtjylland in Denmark.
This club first came to our attention due to voluminous insider trading on their own events at half-time. There are some benefits to trading at the midway point of a game particularly if you don't control it or don't have privileged information from the opponent team. Many unknown unknowns become clearer over 45 minutes of fixball football. This pattern of trading is so robust on the Midtjylland database of matches that we were curious, to put it mildly, what might come to pass when the Danish side met Liverpool in the Champions League Group Stage in season 2020/21.
And guess what? In the first match at Anfield, Liverpool 'struggled' against the wee opposition and failed to register a single shot on target in the first half prior to insider trading at the interval indicating a two goal victory which duly arrived via a last minute penalty. The return match was incredibly corrupted as Liverpool had already qualified for the 2nd Phase while the Danes had nothing to play for. Very significant trading took place against a Liverpool victory resulting in Liverpool going off at 5/6 from an opening 4/7 but the interest was deeper than this in that Liverpool initially slid to 11/10 in places before disinformation persuaded some patsies to back the scousers. Fortunately. FC Midtjylland gained the draw that the insider traders demanded after Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher had the fortitude to give away an equalising penalty in the second half.
As an aside, Cork-man Kelleher is represented by Stellar.
Which enables us to finish this section on another troubling aspect of the systemic corruption on the islands of the UK and Eire - why are so many Irish players third party owned? Which investors own these players? Why can't the public know? We'll return to third party ownership presently.

The End Of Manchester United As We Knew It
Tony Collins: "... Manchester Uunited owe their existence to one of Manchester's leading brewers. Plagued by financial problems in the 1890s, Newton Heath FC was forced into liquidation in 1902 and was bought for £500 by J.H. Davies, chairman of Manchester Breweries. Renamed Manchester United, the club became an appendage of the brewery. Its seven-strong board consisted of Davies and six other company employees. The club not only owed its existence to Davies, but also its ground. In 1909 he provided £60,000 so the club could move from Clayton to Old Trafford. Davies' interest in the club was not altruistic. A Football Association inquiry in 1910 discovered that he received rent payments from the club for land it did not use. The centrality of the link between football and business was also illustrated across the city, when Manchester City's attempts to move from its Hyde Road ground were blocked by objections from Chester's Brewery, on the grounds that its financial support of the club would be wasted if the team moved from the brewer's traditional customer base"
And United have been shafting City ever since...
Take Peter Walton, the former PGMOB referee, who after a spell as general manager of the Professional Referee Organisation (PRO) in the United States, returned home to provide serial disinformation on current refereeing anomalies for the intensely corrupted BT Sport platform. In one of those interesting inversions that define opaque structures, he was replaced at PRO by Howard Webb, a previous expert summariser for BT Sport who was also involved in the referee selection at the pgMOB in the period where Leicester City went from nothing of note to something of significance.
And as what goes around comes around, Webb is now back ready to run the pgMOB as consolidation is once again the order of the day in this systemically corrupt structure.
Walton was a problematical referee. Then he prostituted himself for the problematical PRO body. Now he fucks for problematical media.
Thomas Shelby and Grace Burgess aren't the only ones selling out.
Truth isn't stranger than fiction. It is fiction.
Here's what we wrote about Walton back in the day in 2012.
"Last night Manchester City were denied two penalty shouts by Peter "Grandad" Walton.
So what? Referees are paid to make decisions. But what is it that influences the decisions that Grandad makes?
"In 21 matches refereeing Manchester United over eight seasons, the Reds have won 15, drawn 6 and lost 0.
In the same period, Walton has officiated 13 Manchester City games with only 3 ending in victory for the Citizens with 6 defeats.
"But the last four years of refereeing from Mr Walton are even more revealing.
"Manchester United 11 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats (15 matches 37 points)
Manchester City 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats (7 matches 3 points).
"In 22 matches over four seasons, Man Utd have NEVER LOST with Walton in charge while City have NEVER WON. It is this sort of thing that determines titles.
"But the key fact underpinning this knickpoint in performance by Walton is that its onset coincided with the introduction of Shinawatra's stolen largesse at Manchester City (which eventually led to the petrodollars that made football in Manchester truly competitive before City blew United out of the water).
"Either this is just another collection of Incredible Flukes or the pgMOB and Peter Walton have some explaining to do over the bias, and it is a statistically significant bias."
Or from 2013...
"The last 24 key match-changing decisions in Manchester United's Premier League games have all been in favour of the Red Devils.
"Since the statue of Sir Ferguson was unveiled and the stand named after the man, there has been an ever-present match bias on key decisions in favour of the Reds - the last negative key decision bias was the sending off of Jonny Evans in the 6-1 defeat to Manchester City on October 23rd 2011.
"This is the longest run of one way decisions ever in English football (there was one event where the two major decisions cancelled out).
"For comparison, in the same window, Manchester City have had 3 sendings off in favour and 8 against together with 11 pens for and 3 against."
Peculiar machinations both in favour of and against Manchester United have continued in the years since. For example, when Jose Mourinho was manager at both Chelsea and Manchester United, he was directly targeted by a grouping of six pgMOB referees who, following the appointment of captured entity Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at United mysteriously and suddenly inversed their decision biases. And fucking that for a lark, Manchester United have been markedly helped by the pgMOB being the most favoured team in 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21.
On either side of the threshold from Mourinho to Solskjaer certain players from certain agents also bifurcated their inputs from rampant under-performance under Mourinho to a return to top form (and kissing the badge that weeks earlier they were betraying) under the Norwegian.
A surreal version of the announcement of Solskjaer's appointment appeared online: "We decided to replace one of the best managers in the world with two nobodies who have failed at Cardiff City and Hull City because mafia entities have told us that the referees will now work with Manchester United for the remainder of the season and into the future."
Immediately after the puppeting, generous new contracts were given to an array of players from the Wasserman / Key Sports and Stellar duopoly while new signings featured players from Stellar and Unique - it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that these agents were involved in the malfeasance throughout from planning to execution.
The pgMOB Referee Bias in the Premier League over the last three seasons has seen the following clubs inhabiting the PGMOB Podium:
2018/19: 1st Manchester United 2nd Liverpool 3rd Burnley
2019/20: 1st Manchester United 2nd Liverpool 3rd Crystal Palace
2020/21: 1st Manchester United 2nd Crystal Palace 3rd Leicester City
Cartels control reality to the benefit of Cartel members and to the detriment of the integrity of the sport and all other aspects of the game.
This leads us to the Cartel Rule in UK Football - unless a club is owned by or very very closely affiliated with the cartel of corrupt US and UK agents, they should not employ players represented by any of these agencies because player loyalty will always be towards their matchfixing agents rather than moving a team forwards performing professionally and with integrity.
Isolate these leeches within their corruption edifices!
As a Blackpool fan, it is immensely disturbing that my club, having thrown off the joke of the Oystons, has taken on the yoke of the Liverpool Cartel and Wasserman / Key Sports instead. It is difficult to muster support for an investment vehicle no matter how Tangerine it is.
But, at least the Mighty Pool are not as rotten to the core as the Burnley Hillbillies!
The takeover of Burnley by ALK Capital was leveraged in the same manner as the Glazers used Manchester United as their inversion capitalism cash cow. The Lancashire club had to utilise their own money in the buyout and are around £100 million worse off and saddled with debt. That will teach them to deal with Colquhoun and his buddy Alastair Campbell. The initial payments to outgoing chairman Mike Garlick and John Banaszkiewicz and other hidden sellers have been financed with a loan from MSD UK Holdings (registered in Britain and owned through a company in the opaque tax haven of the Cayman Islands) and the interest rate has not yet been revealed. With banks refusing to finance football clubs, it is going to be ravenous sociopathic US finance houses that step in to asset strip our sport.
Fans have a right to see behind the shells to determine who really owns their club and why.
Manchester United have paid out well over £1 billion in interest since the Glazers' leveraged buyout loaded £525 million of debt onto the club. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Premier League has refused to comment on the Burnley takeover or on why it still allows leveraged buyouts of its clubs.
Burnley are receiving considerable support from the Liverpool Cartel this season as it is critical for the financial robustness of the takeover structure that Burnley's Premier League status be maintained.
Since the announcement of US interest in purchasing the club, Burnley have played 9 matches against fellow Cartel teams - they have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 1 (including the victory at Anfield). So the 9 matches against Cartel teams have yielded 18 points (2.00 points per game); their other 16 matches have produced just 10 points (0.63 points per game). In the same manner that Palace and Villa were gifted Premier League survival last season (and Manchester United shoe-horned into a Champions League place), Burnley's EPL survival was a corrupted given in 2020/21.
Only in the following season when there was a clear fragmentation in the Liverpool Cartel did this safety net disappear as Bloom and Benham combined to relegate the Clarets in fallout from the divide in the fixing of Euro 2020 where significant rewards were squandered by internal jousting.
Not only do these corruptions distort reality but there are victim clubs (AFC Bournemouth, Watford, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2019/20 for example) who suffer for football's decline into the abyss of abnormality via relegation or non-qualification.
Deteriorating finances despite the governments of the world seeing football, in some bizarre manner, as an essential part of pandemic life that must continue come what may is forcing the clubs to corrupt match outcomes and reach abusive financial deals with financial institutions. Southampton, Sunderland and Derby County all had to mortgage their stadiums to MSD Capital and the likelihood is that more clubs will sell out to asset-grabbing moneyheads.
Derby County, having mortgaged Pride Park and their Moor Farm training ground, have still not published their accounts for 2018/19 and wages are often paid with a delay. Still this didn't stop Rick Parry in November from waving through the proposed takeover by Derventio Holdings (owned by Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Bin Saquer Al Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi elite).
The lack of state or sporting oversight of what structured mafia entities are doing to football is the elephant in this particular room. Is everybody getting a suitable kickback to turn the other way?
As former Telegraph journalist Paul Haywood recently stated: "Premier League football is alienating its audience - and fast."
While current Guardian writer Jonathan Liew goes for the jugular: "... it is this sense of an impregnable cartel slowly walling itself off and leaving the rest of us to gawp from a distance."
We are dealing, in this fireside chat, with a graphic of interlocking circles of bookmakers, agents, clubs, players, institutions, mafia and state and the grey area where these various circles intersect is the Liverpool Cartel.

Calling The Shade
Yuval Noah Harari: "Humans are a post-truth species"
There were eight 1st half red cards in the Premier League between December 20th 2020 and February 20th 2021 - 5 of these players are represented by Wasserman / Key Sports (Tyrone Mings, Ryan Fraser, Antonee Robinson, John Lundstram and Semi Ajayi).
No universe exists where this isn't called suspicious.
In the entire German Bundesliga 2020/21 season to date (197 games) there has only been one 1st half red card.
Why are 1st half red cards so key? Because to matchfixers they represent a done deal of 11 players versus 10 with over half of the match remaining. Of course, being matchfixers the profits from inverting to an advantage of 10 versus 11 is also a major earner in that it is, in effect, your money (or Bloom's, I should say) against the planet of traders with the outcome entirely under control.
Take Burnley versus West Bromwich Albion on February 20th 2020. Twenty twenty vision shows that, after Ajayi's 30th minute red card, Burnley only managed one shot on target in the remaining 66 minutes - it would have taken a brave (or very knowledgeable) person to trade on Albion after the dismissal.
The insider trading patterns on the five Wasserman / Key Sports-influenced events reveal the manner in which the red cards were utilised to profit in the markets.
This is matchfixing.
Although John Colquhoun / Legion sold Key Sports to Wasserman, the pair of agencies had been working together since the US started to move into British football. More intriguingly, Wasserman / Key Sports deserve their doubled moniker as Wasserman are now employing the same tactics of takeover as those originally developed by Key Sports.
Let's take a closer look at Wasserman / Key Sports (WKS) in relation to points that we have already raised:
1) Former Glasgow Rangers (and now Aston Villa) boss Steve Gerrard is represented by WKS hence the relevance of all those Rangers players coming from Liverpool Cartel outfits
2) WKS seek to takeover teams in the same manner in which John Colquhoun took over West Bromwich Albion to promote his clients via the crooked refereeing of Jonathan Moss and Neil Swarbrick and to energise earnings via matchfixing. So, Coventry City (with enhanced Colquhoun links) AFC Bournemouth, Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers all have significant agent cartel structures in place.
3) The takeover of the Manchester City reserve defence by WKS is particularly worrying as Laporte, Ake, Steffen, Stones and Carson are all under the connivance of people who don't have the club's interests on their hidden agendas.
4) Due to WKS strategies, some events become bizarrely ridiculous. The February 21st 2021 meeting between Barcelona and Cadiz in La Liga was decided when Clement Lenglet gave away a last minute penalty guaranteeing the visitors a draw, massively damaging Barca's title chances which would have been reignited with a victory. Although Barcelona were 1/10 favourites, all the key market makers were happy to lay them as things were already known in the marketplace. Lenglet, Ronald Koeman (the Barcelona manager) and Alfred Schreuder (the Barcelona assistant manager) are all represented by WKS. But the key input here is the £1 billion worth of debts loaded on the Catalans (wages were not paid on time in December 2020). Criminalised entities target distressed assets like Barcelona. Having your man at the helm helps orchestrate these rogue machinations and accelerates the route to Project Big Picture and the Super League. It is also worthy of note that the worst performing Barcelona player in the 4-1 home defeat to Paris St Germain five days earlier in the Champions League (another massive financial hit for Barcelona) was also Monsieur Lenglet (according to Who Scored?). And by the end of February 2021, the ex-Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu was arrested as part of "an investigation into alleged crimes related to property and the socio-economic order". He had resigned in October 2020 to avoid a vote of no confidence after 20,000 club members signed a petition against him.
Season ended. Doom beckons.
5) Or take Feyenoord. Under the-how-on-earth-is-that-reptile-still-in-the-game management of Dick Advocaat, the club's assistant manager Cor Pot and six first team players are all clients of WKS. When Feyenoord meet ADO Den Haag, Heerenveen or Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie, WKS are in charge of 9 of the probable starters. If you can't fix a match when you control nine of the players then you are not fit to call yourself a matchfixer.
6) Once one combines representatives of Stellar, CAA / Base and Unique to those of WKS and the various third party owned individuals linked to the same investors, some matches simply become boiler room scams where the perpetrators are able to make the result whatever they wish.
The covid-19 pandemic's impact on football's finances inflated the matchfixing as trading outcomes on the markets was an easy way to offset the loss of television and fan revenue streams. Indeed, some clubs only survived via matchfixing.

Painterly Realism Of A Football Player - Colour Masses In The 4th Dimension
Mike Ehrmantraut: "Moral of the story is I chose half measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again. No more half measures"
The kerfuffle generated by the rampant disinformation in the media regarding Project Big Picture is a most entertaining template of analytics. Every entity at every strata that is involved in the takeover of the sport are denying any involvement. Yet as the hyperreality unfolds, the one evidential holistic that repeatedly appears is how the people at the top of global football are, en masse, not fit for purpose.
Take La Liga chief, Javier Tebas and the FIFA president Gianni Infantino - Tebas has accused Infantino of supporting the launch of a breakaway European Super League despite FIFA officially opposing the project. Tebas claims that Infantino has been "working on" and "encouraging" its formation and suggests that, as a reward, Infantino will be given a role (and revenue stream) in this Super League.
Tebas has evidence of Infantino's (secret) involvement in the discussions - Infantino even appears in the minutes under his known code name W01: "In the documents there are also certain dates being held back for the Club World Cup which is so precious to Infantino... It is obvious that people involved like Florentino Perez [Real Madrid president] could not have those details if Infantino is against it."
Similarly in the UK where Premier League chief executive Dick Masters and EFL chairman Rick Parry are becoming so dichotomous in their statements on Project Big Picture that their interviews would make equivalent sense if their words were just randomly selected and shuffled with some verbs.
Shuffle the kerfuffle is the cry!
During the early phases of the pandemic, government sources were quietly telling all sports that there will be restrictions on large gatherings for at least the next few years (according to the Telegraph). Fan revenue was not a near-future stable income and the steady slide from fan-at-the-ground, to fan-in-the-pub, to fan-on-the-sofa to ex-fan with better things to do with his / her life than watch poker played with a ball continues apace.
The Economist: "If a football match is played but no fans watch it, either in the stands or on television, did it really happen?"
France has already reached this stage of evolution - no fans at all.
Mediapro, the Spanish broadcasting group with Chinese backers, bought the television rights from season 2020/21 onwards but, after making one payment, voided the contract. On February 1st 2021, an entirely unsuccessful auction was held to try and find a new buyer. This is disastrous for clubs who rely on broadcasters for a third of their income, often more for lower clubs. Eventually a stop-gap deal was reached at approximately half the original value to bide the league over until next season. Sponsors (apart from the ubiquitous bookmakers) have also disappeared and player transfers mutate to loans in a cash-crisis pandemic. In January 2021, the auction for rights to Italy's Serie A also fell well short of expectations.
Despite governments profiting massively from sport (both as soft power and kickbacks), a public bail-out of an industry that rewards its stars with millions per month would appear unseemly, to say the least.
With no fans in the grounds, it is easier to undertake matchfixing as the moans of disapproval are absent to be replaced by EA Sports soundtracks of fake applause of corrupt inputs. With no fans watching on television, it becomes like the online virtual poker tables where Bloom made his fortune. Nobody knows what is happening, what is real and what is fake and, consequently, corruption is easier to arrange.
The key trigger point for football will arrive when the players can't be paid blood money to actualise the matchfixing because there is not enough money left in the game to lubricate this acquiescence.
But, by then, nobody will be watching and Liverpool versus Burnley will look, in market analytical terms, exactly the same as a 7 runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter.
And, even with vaccines, we are entering a new perilous phase of the pandemic according to Professor Devi Sridhar. With the UK state exhibiting astonishing incompetence ("eat out to die" or "take it on the chin" or "Cheltenham Festival must go ahead") and the opposition being led by a right-of-centre plank of softwood, the future does not look bright.
Mikhail Bulgakov: "Irony and buffoonery are expressions of the deepest contemplation of life in all its conditionalities."
Then Prime Minister Johnson remained wedded to herd immunity primarily to weed out the weak in his brave new world of Singapore-on-Thames. Herd immunity allows more variants to mutate and, according to Sridhar: "... new data from Manaus, Brazil, shows just how catastrophic an uncontrolled epidemic would be. An estimated 76% of people have been exposed to covid-19, and the epidemic is still continuing. Applying age-specific infection fatality rates from Manaus, a 76% attack rate would mean 350,000 deaths in the UK and 1.58 million deaths in the US. Manaus has a particularly young population, so the fatality rate is likely lower there than it would be in the more elderly demographics of western Europe and North America. The substantial rate of serious illness associated with covid-19 also underlines the risks of exposing a large percentage of the population to a virus that is still not fully understood."
Project Big Picture and the Liverpool Cartel believe that none of this applies to them in their enhanced deity status. This is presumably why, in all the excitement over the February 2021 Milan derby, the only British newspapers to mention the death from covid-19 of former Internazionale player Mauro Bellugi were The S*n and the Daily Star.
Bellugi died of covid-19 the day before the derby having had both his legs amputated because of complications with coronavirus: "They took off my leg with which I scored against Borussia Moenchengladbach" he stated after the operation.
Inter and Italy remembered their former star even if the corruption-templated UK media did not.
Oh, and Inter won 3-0 in his memory.
Coincidentally, the psychopathic football elite in the UK were creating a roadmap for fans to return to English stadiums for the final weekend of the 20/21 season - a microscopic cog in a catastrophic plan of.utter idiocy that will recreate the failed window of last summer that guaranteed the reality of this winter.
Let that moment linger.
Daphne Caruana Galizia's words about Malta apply equally to Britain: "Malta's public life is afflicted with dangerously unstable men with no principles or scruples."
David McNeight: "The universe makes more sense if we view it as a three-dimensional surface of a four-sphere. Current theory has it that the universe is everywhere the same. But this cannot hold true at the boundary of a spherical three-dimensional universe. A three-dimensional surface of a four-sphere, however, has properties analogous to those of a two-dimensional surface of a three-sphere. When we view it in that way, we can figure out a manner in which it might have begun. Not with a big bang, which violates conservation laws, but with a small instability in which particles of opposite mass and opposite charge were created, violating no conservation law.
"In 1884, Edwin Abbott Abbott (yes - two Abbotts) wrote a novel about Flatland, a two-dimensional universe in which the inhabitants could not conceive of any place to put a third dimension at right angles to the two they knew. The narrator was a Square. Other inhabitants had different shapes.
"If you think about it, it must be quite a dull place. Imagine being at sea and seeing the horizon, nothing above it, nothing below it. Our main interest is in the Sphere, a three-dimensional being who intercepted the Square's two-space and befriended him. He was kind enough, if you consider it kind, to lift the Square out of his comfort zone and show him that there was in fact room for a third dimension, at right angles to the two dimensions of Flatland.
"It is interesting to consider how the Square might have been able to conceive of the Sphere's shape, even without being lifted out of his confined space. He could have done it by tomography, with a little help from the Sphere. If the Square had this technology, he would have taken a picture as the Sphere was just entering Flatland, then another when he was one millimetre in, and another at two millimetres, and so forth until the Sphere reached, and then passed, his full girth, and gradually moved out. The Square's series of images would be a point, then circles gradually increasing in size and then decreasing down to a point before disappearing altogether.
"Just as the Square could not conceive of a third dimension, orthogonal to the two with which he was familiar, so we, who live in three-dimensional space (ignoring for a moment the exotic time aspect of Lorentz and Einstein), cannot conceive of a fourth dimension. But merely because we humble three-spacers cannot imagine it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Nor do we need a sentient Four Sphere to show us the way. We have tomography. And we have mathematics.
"If we look at the progression through the dimensions, in two dimensions we have a circle as the periphery, in three dimensions, the periphery is a spherical surface. So the periphery of a four-sphere is a three-dimensional volume. If we cut our four-sphere into 'slices', we see bits of its surface, which are spheres. As the four-sphere gets its toe into our three-dimensional universe, we see a small sphere. This then grows, until halfway through when it reaches a maximum, then falls away in size until it disappears. All the spheres we see are bits of the 'surface' of the four-sphere. These 'surfaces', of course, have their own two-dimensional surfaces, and you can slice through these surfaces to get circular lines."
Football's corruption is equivalent to this four-sphere, always just out of sight of the average viewer.
The primary purpose of this book is to expose the three-dimensional surface of the four-sphere of football. Change only occurs by direct action.
