Colquhoun Is Claimed To Be The Anonymous Figure Behind QuoCKeRWoDGeR, The Clown, The Dwarf, Mr Small, Iago Malgrande & A Host Of Other Aliases Both Internally & Externally Generated
John Colquhoun, a former player, football agent and media manipulator, is facing questions over claims he is the anonymous matchfixer behind the corrupting of match outcomes in the Premier League, the Championship, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup as well as matches lower down the league hierarchy and events in the Netherlands, Belgium, Scotland and Spain.
There are also claims of threats and menaces sent to a whistleblower in 2008 after the anti-corruption journalist exposed a fixed match in the Premier League between Fulham and Wigan Athletic where Andrew Johnson disclosed on Match Of The Day that he knew that he was going to score two goals before the match started. Football is Fixed have seen evidences of Colquhoun being the individual behind those threats.

Colquhoun - one of Europe's most successful football agents and intermediaries - is claimed to be the individual behind a whole array of catfishing aliases that he uses as a disguise in communications which are said to have been mimicked by anti-corruption operatives.
Approached by Football is Fixed, Colquhoun refused to comment on the allegations that he systemically fixes football matches utilising match officials and players under his control and that he profits on these events via circuitous routes in the betting markets. When it was put to Mr Colquhoun that titles and trophies had, in effect, been stolen by his practices, he also refused to comment.
Furthermore, Football is Fixed have evidences going back two decades that Mr Colquhoun exerts control over the media output of the Guardian newspaper football section where his clients and associates achieve advertorial coverage to bolster their status (and transfer fee / wages) within the sport. Colquhoun boasted of this control of output to a member of our Network.
In recent years an equivalent control has been developed at BBC's Match of the Day and the Football is Fixed Network will soon be publishing a detailed report into the distorted output on the show in favour of Colquhoun's clients and associates.
Furthermore, a close associate of Colquhoun declined to answer the charge that Colquhoun had orchestrated the entire campaign currently targeting Brighton & Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom (who has developed cutting edge AI-generated software to accurately price player values which undermines Colquhoun's more manipulative manners of engaging with the transfer market).
Colquhoun and Bloom used to work more closely together but fell out over what has been described, by a person familiar with the situation, as "Colquhoun's inept idiocy and shady practices."
Whistleblowers have called on the government and the FA to investigate the allegations of matchfixing et al.
Last year, evidences were published that Colquhoun puppeted the performances of three PGMOL match officials and that, mysteriously, three Russian-backed bookmakers based in Cyprus had prescient knowledge of refereeing inputs and match outcomes in games under the officiation of these three referees. Once this was made public, the three bookmakers, equally mysteriously, disappeared from view.
Football is Fixed have seen evidences that Colquhoun works very closely indeed with three firms of football agents - one American, one Dutch and one British. Some Premier League clubs have almost a full XI and manager represented by these agents.
The over (and under) performance of teams based on inappropriate inputs not only undermines integrity in the sport but also leads to players and managers not "in the fold" to lose out on earnings and opportunities, a situation exacerbated by Colquhoun's ability to get his clients selected for international teams. These distortions together with the manipulations behind the winning of trophies destroys any semblance of validity in the sport.
Football is Fixed have spoken with a representative of the British state who pointed out that these templates are destroying the "soft power" of the Premier League as a leading global sporting brand. "Once games are known to be fixed, football has no purpose anymore."
Additionally, Football is Fixed have been shown evidences that Colquhoun was behind the appointment of David Kogan to head the football regulator in Britain when Kogan wasn't even on the original three person shortlist.
Lisa Nandy, the MP behind the appointment, had previously received political donations from Kogan on more than one occasion.
This construct must be investigated by the FA and the government.
Colquhoun, a very average former footballer who failed to make the grade at Glasgow Celtic, once boasted to a member of the Football is Fixed Network how suitcases of money were the lubrication to transfer deals in which he had resonance although he claimed never to have accepted any kickbacks himself.
Towards the end of his playing career Colquhoun developed close links with Jonathan Moss at Sunderland. They established a business relationship that brought inappropriate inputs to the Premier League when Moss was fast tracked to became a PGMOL official in 2011.
This association began in 1992 and continues to this day as Colquhoun was heavily involved in getting Moss appointed as Head of VAR in Scotland after he was sneaked out of his managerial position at the PGMOL in England.
Moss lasted just 52 days in Scotland before becoming a ten pound pom and taking the role of Head of Referees for Football Australia.
Football is Fixed also possess details of interpersonal manipulations like trolling to prevent individuals aware of his business practices from gaining appointments in the sport.
A source close to Colquhoun refused to comment on any of the points outlined above.
And, regarding the monetisation of games under his control, one state operator said: "No one in a position to influence the outcome of a match or possess inside information can bet on the competition they're involved in." This applies both directly and via proxies.
He continued: "The government must investigate these claims and publish the conclusions. Players have been heavily sanctioned for gambling on games in which they are involved. The football industry requires far greater regulation and oversight as organised crime groups (both national and transnational) are destroying any semblance of integrity in the game. The betting markets, in particular, must be robustly regulated as the volumes being traded on Premier League matches is astronomical."
One member of the Football is Fixed Network backed up this statement by pointing out that: i) referees earn a few grand per week while officiating on matches with a global betting volume in excess of £10 billion and ii) once a player or referee liaises with criminals to fix one event, they are then owned for life as "a friend of the mafia."
Football is the most beautiful sport on the planet and it is critical that FIFA, UEFA and national governments take steps to prevent its demise into one huge poker table where rogue insiders trade on the match outcomes at dark pool underground markets.
And, as it is Advent: Matthew 23:27-28: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
