The Real Story Behind The Targeting Of Manchester City By Organised Crime & Mafia

The Best Team In The Land & All The World

Introduction

Today is the 20 year anniversary of the Football Is Fixed blog.
Over this time we have exposed the corruptions orchestrated by organised crime groups and mafia that have entirely destroyed any semblance of integrity and legitimacy in English football.

This is our last post.

All good things must come to an end.

This final article addresses The Real Story Behind The Targeting Of Manchester City By Organised Crime & Mafia.


Manchester City have appealed the fake Premier League verdict  and some members and associates of the Football Is Fixed Network are helping the club owners on the case providing evidences in our possession regarding the lack of due process and the criminalised hidden agendas that are not of integrity.

To get the ball rolling, nothing whatsoever is going to happen to Manchester City FC, the City Group, Sheikh Khaldoon Al Mubarak or Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
There will be no titles nor trophies lost, no relegations, no mass exodus of players, no nothing.

In comparison, the Premier League's brand has been terminally damaged by the ludicrously self-harming attempt at strategy without due diligence and the complete absence of enhanced scenario analytics enacted by the Football Leaks orchestrator John Colquhoun.
All aspects of the case have been conspiratorial, coerced or based on deceit.

Colquhoun is seriously out of his depth.

The Premier League is going to be sued by Emirati operations and, for its CEO Richard Masters, there is going to be trouble ahead.

This farcical charade will mark the end of the Premier League being regarded as the world's foremost football league brand - maliciously targeting your best asset is not sound business.

The real winners in this process (aside from Manchester City) will be the simmering European Super League, the FIFA Club World Cup and legitimate non-corrupted leagues like the German Bundesliga and Spain's La Liga.

The portrayed "victory" is not a victory for integrity in football. It is a disaster for English football because it shows that inappropriate forces have taken over the EPL (together with its tentacles of corruption with captured elites and media pushing a fake narrative to the fans).

In this article, we show that mafia activities, blackmailing, extortion, illicit hacking, theft and the arbitrary application of arbitrary rules which are applied subject to hidden agendas by institutional bodies under the direct control of malicious entities are behind the "charges" against Manchester City...

We will also demonstrate that the "evidences" behind these charges are contrived, filtered, doctored, finessed and distilled...

We will be going right back to the beginning to show how the Football Leaks fabulism was orchestrated by a criminal operator...

The systemic corruption matrices of English football will be shared and evidenced and we will be disclosing the entities involved in the Cartel...

We will also be exposing the roles of American owners and agents, some with Epstein Files' links, in this pitiful targeting of Manchester City...

Manchester City are in the crosshairs of a criminal sting operation that only has a passing acquaintance with sporting legitimacy...

Before we have a discussion about what constitutes integrity in the Premier League and English football, let's examine the current state of play in the holistic of the fake charges against Manchester City and the EPL's lack of due process, validity or strategy.

This post is broken down into sections with extensive redaction as we have no desire to undermine Manchester City's strategies in dealing with this organised crime template that governs UK football. But we have made a decision not to disclose where such redaction occurs aside from the sections that are entirely redacted which will be indicated by <REDACTED>.

In total, 84% of this article is redacted.

Please note that, unlike the Premier League, the Football Is Fixed Network are able to back up and prove with extensive evidences all of the assertions contained in this article.

Where Are We Now?

1. Manchester City have appealed the fake charges but, as the independent commission is hardly independent, the club are waiting until the appeal reaches the High Court (outside of the captured plarforms of the EP) to disclose most aspects of their "irrefutable evidence".

The word "independent" is illusory in English football.

For a start, the specific individual identities of the three panel members who sat on the "independent" commission against City have not been publicly released or named which is a smoke and mirrors construct. Arsenal FC Member Murray Rosen KC and the Premier League Judicial Panel selected the tribunal for the first hearing so obviously no conflicts of interest there!

Or take the "independent" tribunal who replaced Southampton with Middlesbrough in last season's Championship Play Offs. Of three members, one was a former Middlesbrough player (David Winnie) while another, Lydia Bannerjee, works for Littleton Chambers, a law firm that, until recently, had represented Middlesbrough FC.

Both individuals refused to recuse themselves and the EFL would offer no comment on this kangaroo tribunal.

Furthermore, Sir Philip Sycamore, the Tribunal Chair, is based at 2 Hare Court Chambers which is shared with both of the EFL barristers at the hearing - Brendan Kelly KC and Amina Graham KC.

Inside World Football state: "The Southampton spygate case has become a major challenge to the EFL's governance and the integrity of its disciplinary function. It is a case that now goes right to the heart of the fundamental legal concept of Natural Justice that frames procedural fairness."

On a more elevated level, three individuals were shortlisted for the post of chair of the Independent Football Regulator whose "independence" was immediately deconstructed by the appointment of David Kogan who had not been shortlisted nor had he even applied for the post..

Kogan has stated that he will resign if he comes under any political pressure in the Manchester City case while we believe he should resign anyway as he is an appointment puppeted by rogue operators.

If the EPL action against Manchester City wasn't doomed to failure then it would be the parachuted in Kogan who would be meting out the punishments to the club.

We could offer numerous equivalent examples but, suffice to say, there is no independence in English football's "independent" bodies.

2. The Premier League is a psychopathic entity that considers itself to be above the law. So Manchester City were denied any route of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport hence allowing the EPL absolute control over the process and punishment. If a body is so confident about the validity of their alleged evidences then why secrete performativity of process away from established arbitration? It's almost like the EPL has something to hide.

The EPL's inappropriate self perception is also demonstrated by the facts that neither the Prime Minister nor the government were informed of Manchester City's supposed guilt prior to the release of the indictment. Prime Minister Andy Burnham was unhappy at the lack of warning with the EPL announcement being maliciously timed for the conclusion of Burnham's keynote speech to the Labour Party Conference. The state was also kept in the dark.

Yet the American owners of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United were forewarned of the spectacle. As there is a takeover of English football by US owners and as it is US owners who seek to take control of Manchester City, this is highly relevant (see section on US takeover later in this article - NB: this is redacted on this blog).

But, seriously, why were the British state and government kept in the dark while American business people were illuminated?

3. This whole ruse began when Portuguese hacker Rui Pinto blackmailed Doyen Sports over information he had illegally gathered. Colquhoun was working closely with Casey Wasserman (of the eponymous Wasserman Media agency) at the time and saw an opportunity to undermine Jorge Mendes and Gestifute (then the world's largest football agency).

"Evidences" obtained by the extortionist Pinto were filtered to allow a corrupted body of information for the targeting of Gestifute and, eventually, Manchester City. The process was selective and buried away rogue behaviours by other clubs within the Cartel.

Additionally, contracts and information were physically stolen from clubs around Europe where organised crime had influence with the most interesting theft being by Liverpool FC who stole information from Manchester City.
Liverpool paid a £1 million fine without admitting responsibility and the Premier League swept the episode under the carpet. It was claimed at the time that Liverpool had hacked City but much of the information was an internal theft.

Knowledge that has been hacked, stolen, distilled and filtered is the basis for these contrived charges by the EPL.

All accountancy, legal and consultancy firms bend the rules of legality to gain an edge for their clients - that is what they are paid for. Every single major club utilises financial and legal sleights of hand to gain a nudge advantage in their sector. We have extensive evidences of this (as do Manchester City).

For a very relevant example of a club abusing the law to a far greater extent than it is alleged Manchester City did, see the section on Chelsea below (NB: this is redacted on this blog).

4. The City of Manchester has been entirely transformed by UAE investment and the British state benefits to the tune of £30 billion per annum from financial inflows from Abu Dhabi. The threat by the UAE to terminate this investment is not based on grudge but on the evidences that show that Manchester City and the UAE have been maliciously targeted by a conspiratorial Cartel.

As the Financial Times reported:- "At a meeting with Jeremy Hunt in 2023, just after the charges had been landed by the Premier League, Khaldoon described it as 'an attack on an important Abu Dhabi asset by an unregulated cartel and an affront to some of the Emirates most respected companies.'"

David Bernstein asks "Is City too big to fail?" and our answer would be an emphatic "Yes".

We base this opinion on evidences concerning the malicious targeting of Manchester City by organised crime.

Extortion, Blackmail & Hacking - Football Leaks & Rui Pinto

<REDACTED>

Watching The Detectives - Rough Trade & The Cartel

The Cartel is an organised crime infrastructure based on the business model of the Dawood Company who were behind the systemic corruption that targeted South Asian cricket.

A suitable starting point in any evaluation of the Cartel is Wasserman Media (recently renamed THE-TEAM after owner Casey Wasserman was exposed in the Epstein Files).
Wasserman were the second biggest football agency in the world (behind Gestifute) when the Football Leaks charade first unfolded. All evidences were filtered to enable a malicious targeting of Gestifute.
And it worked - Wasserman / THE-TEAM are now the largest agency in football.

The Premier League could have chosen to use the information garnered by the Football Leaks extortionist Rui Pinto to clean up the entirety of football.
Instead they chose to turn it into a turf war against Manchester City and, by association, Gestifute.

There is a hierarchy of cartelised agencies corrupting English (and European) football with Wasserman / THE-TEAM at its apex. There are four other large agencies at the next level of this vertically integrated hierarchy with a number of satellite entities ensuring performativity lower down the food chain.

Systemic matchfixing is orchestrated by this Cartel of football agents who utilise managers, players and captured referees to drive their hidden agendas. This isn't just corruption to ensure that the "right" teams win the trophies but is a strategic warfare against clubs who do not form a part of the Cartel. 
Games are deliberately thrown to enable regime change at clubs e.g. new ownership or new manager to further the takeover of English football by mafia.

In recent times West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United and Manchester City have been aggressively undermined by the Cartel.

An example of one manner in which this is achieved is by allowing referees who are prohibited from officiating on Liverpool matches due to either their support of the club or being based in the city to referee or VAR Manchester City games. The statistical significance of this matchfixing of Manchester City events via this construct is extremely robust.

Additionally, there are current players at Manchester City who are represented by the Cartel of agents with their performances on the field of play being puppeted accordingly to City's detriment.

The strategic aim is always the same - regime change via organised crime.

When the EPL were demonstrating an arbitrary bias against Everton, Andy Burnham wrote to the Premier League accusing them of an abuse of process in comparison to the lenient approach to criminalities at Chelsea.

Another part of the Cartel is captured media - BBC, Sky Sports, TNT, The Guardian and Telegraph are all under the abusive control of Wasserman / THE-TEAM. In comparison with all the column inches and talking head outputs on the Glazers, Ratcliffe and the City Group, these media entirely ignored the fact that, until very recently, Chelsea were co-owned by Todd Boehly who was outed in the Epstein Files for his meetings with Epstein after the financier had already been convicted of child trafficking and rape offences.
This could not be exposed as it doesn't fit in with the captured narrative.
As with the world's foremost football agency being run by an Epsteinite, these are stories that cannot be told as it's bad for brand.
But just imagine the mainstream media response if Manchester City had a co-owner outed in the Epstein Files!!

Furthermore, arbitrarily targeting certain clubs with one hand while enabling corruption for other clubs is a destruction of the English football brand.
So, Southampton were targeted over a minor infraction relating to spygate but there is no addressing the Cartel of agents matchfixing significant numbers of games each weekend (including Middlesbrough matches).
One entity's spying is another's systemic corruption.

The Middlesbrough / Southampton farce is an identical infrastructure to the malicious targeting of Manchester City - the evidence is manufactured and the policing is not of integrity while media slices the hyperreality before placing the targeted club in front of a kangaroo court officiated by Cartel members with the club having no right to appeal.

The Cartel is a major construct encompassing media, players, ex-players, VAR match officials, referees, bookmakers, captured institutions and regulatory bodies as well as legal and accounting professionals who would sell their grandmother for an incremental increase in proprietary wealth.

Cartel members benefit from the regime change tactics in the holistic but also from matchfixing and player value manipulations in the minutiae - the wall-to-wall positive media on Wasserman / THE-TEAM clients inflates transfer fees and disguises the malicious corruptions engendered by such players to achieve suitable results in football matches.

Every Cartel member gets a slice of the action.
The Cartel Ven diagram is a mafia hologram!

The Epstein Template - The Takeover Of English Football By A US Neoliberal Elite

<REDACTIED>

Clowngate - How Organised Crime Creates Systemic Corruption In The Premier League & EFL Championship

                              John "Clown" Colquhoun In A Rare Image Taken In Sunlight

For 30 years we have been analysing corruption matrices in global football and the primary realisation has been that the Premier League is the most corrupt major league in the world.

We possess extensive evidences detailing corruptions by Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United (prior to Sir Jim Ratcliffe getting involved) but there has been absolutely no impetus by the EPL to punish these particular miscreants for their behaviours.
In the Premier League, it appears that Liverpool and Chelsea can behave illegally with impunity.
Chelsea, for example, stole cups and titles under their Russian oligarch owner, their finances were rogue, tax evasion via offshoring and secretion were rife prior to the club becoming a vehicle for Wasserman and Boehly with their Epstein links.
In the Premier League's eyes, there is no problem with this.

Or look at the application of VAR in the Premier League where the process is captured, requires an arbitrary application of the rules and suits the agendas of certain Cartel clubs to the detriment of other clubs outside this criminal construct. No other league and no other sport has applied technology to officiating more haphazardly or more mendaciously than the EPL.

The Premier League and its associated entities are a cesspit of corruption, matchfixing, black whistle officiating and doping.
Indeed, English football provides fans with rampant insider trading both on match outcomes and spot markets, manipulated draws for cup competitions, fixture list flow and timetabling manipulations, players who were corrupt during their careers getting a suitable job for life after retirement, match outcomes are fixed pre-match and, weirdly, can be re-fixed in running if there are betting market advantages to the Cartel at the expense of one of their rival power bases. The Fit-and-Proper-Persons Test for owners is beyond ineffective and would seem to offer an open door to black money and criminal entities.
Anything can be leeched onto the Premier League with ease - advertising, bookmakers, matchfixing, insider trading which attracts richer owners and yields bigger corruptions.

The crime in the Premier League could not get any more organised!

And one of the worst aspects of this is that the organised crime has captured the regulatory space.

Indeed, the EPL has evolved from being entirely unregulated to being regulated by the people who are doing the things that require a regulator in the first place.

Throughout Guardiola's tenure at Manchester City, one particular Wasserman / THE-TEAM client was constantly leaking inside information to the Cartel as well as throwing City games on behalf of that Cartel.

The Premier League is nothing more than a boiler room scam operation where patsies are abused by organised crime.

While the fake EPL charges focus on alleged behaviours by Manchester City, it is actually City who are the most targeted club at the hands of Cartel corruption.
City have had a Champions League Final, an FA Cup Final and Premier League titles stolen by the Cartel.

The Premier League was originally non-regulated and is now regulated, in effect, by itself.
The Premier League believes that it stands above government, above the state, above the HMRC and above the sport that they are systemically corrupting.

The mainstream media coverage of the Manchester City case is not only captured but is also full of journalistic holes with unnamed experts, faceless executives, quoted insiders and evaluations from "people aware of the situation". These ghosted entities offer nothing resembling proof, just a public portrayal of the hidden agendas of criminals...
... very much like the secret tribunals who determine the application of Premier League rules.

Sheikh Rattle & Roll - The Positive Impacts Of The United Arab Emirates On Great Britain

Not only have the UAE redeveloped vast swathes of poverty stricken Manchester via £1 billion of investment and created the best football club in the world but Abu Dhabi also saved the City of London from the ravages of the financial crash. This is on top of the £30 billion per annum the UAE invests into the British economy.

In 2008, Amanda Staveley negotiated a transaction that resulted in Abu Dhabi companies and investors putting more than £3 billion into Barclays as desperate attempts were made to avoid a government / taxpayer bailout of the bank. At the peak of the financial crisis sovereign wealth funds poured money into the UK financial sector to avoid contagion and catastrophe in the system.
Andy Burnham was then Minister for Culture, Media and Sport and firmly approved of this support. 

Key figures in the criminal Cartel destroying English football, in comparison, yield nothing - they are nothing more than  a tax on the state and the sport.

Colquhoun is desperately attempting to imply that this inward investment will not be impacted by the ludicrous EPL charges against Manchester City. Not so. Although the UAE will remain committed to projects already in motion, they will be far less energised on these developments and any potential future compounding up of investment. Additionally, the UAE will not get involved in any new investment projects in the UK.

This template will cost Britain dearly and shows how the EPL fake charges are actually a redistribution of wealth from the UK population to mafia groupings.

The British state does not want to be held hostage by or to be financially impacted by a private company that only reluctantly agreed to what is, in principle, merely self-regulation.

Furthermore, as the UAE is the world leader in cutting edge IT technologies, Britain will be consigned to the second division of access to the brave new world ahead.
Britain will also be opting out of taking advantage of the fact that the UAE and PM Andy Burnham have a mutual respect template that could be utilised to create significant opportunities for the UK.

The Cartel is, in effect, destroying all of our futures (as well as English football).

Additionally, the fake charges strike at the deepest levels of the British state e.g. the UK and UAE maintain a deep military, security and intelligence alliance anchored by the 1996 Defence Cooperation Accord. The full impact of this EPL charade is very broad based.

Sheikh Khaldoon in a letter to City fans: "... our confidence and intent in proving the Club's innocence is just as strong as when this [case] began... There remain many who want to undermine the momentum of our Club. We will not give them that opportunity. The club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of the positions relating to this case. The Club will therefore be relentless and, where necessary, proactive in any and all appropriate regulatory and legal forums."

In their appeal, Manchester City state that "on multiple grounds, the [EPL]  opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe".
Burnham stated that he would be "really concerned" if City's owners were to sell or be forced out describing them as a huge part of the building of modern Manchester.

And therein lies one of the key strategies of organised crime in this case.
This isn't just a war on Manchester City, it is a war on Manchester United too as Colquhoun manipulates integrity to conspire regime change at the Old Trafford club too (at both managerial and ownership levels).
In football terms, this case can be stripped down to London and Liverpool trying to take over Manchester.

With Prime Minister Burnham believing that Everton were not treated fairly by the Premier League, the EPL charges against Manchester City being concocted by organised crime, Etihad Airways (and other Emirati companies) threatening to sue the Premier League, the EPL brand value depreciating, the media espousing "messy solutions for unserious people", fan attendance plummeting and, behind the marketed mask, the EPL being nothing more than a criminal construct, this is all beginning to look like one colossal own goal by those who put crime above integrity.

If the EPL had been able to win this case then all broadcast and commercial contracts would have needed to be redrawn and the outcome would cost everybody at the top of English football an awful lot of money...
... apart from the mafia slithering in the shadows.

The most corrupt major football league in the world is hammering the country so that mafia might grab some proprietary profits.
Sweet.

The Ultimate Answer To Life, The Universe & Everything - 42-

                  P-QB4 - Sheikh Tahnoon Is In Control Of The English Opening - Checkmate!

G42 is an Emirati artificial intelligence development company.founded in 2018 and based in Abu Dhabi.

G42 focuses on developing and deploying artificial intelligence at scale through infrastructure and cloud-based platforms.

G42 is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan from the ruling family of the UAE. Sheikh Tahnoon is the National Security Adviser of the UAE.

G42 has among its directors Sheikh Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, managing director and group chief executive officer of Mubadala Investment Company as well as being chair of Manchester City FC.

G42 chair His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon is a fixer for the UAE royal family as well as being a financial wizard and a secretive spymaster.

G42 is closely integrated financially and personally with Donald Trump via Sheikh Tahnoon.

G42's financial reach is astronomical and global.

G42's primary operator Tahnoon is omnipresent and makes it his business to know everything about everyone of interest.

G42, as a leading artificial intelligence financier, is entangling itself in the infrastructure that is defining our digital futures.

G42's Sheikh Tahnoon is, in short, an extremely powerful operator.

G42 is embedded in the integrated power construct of the richest dynasty in the world - Tahnoon is one of six brothers who sit atop all aspects of the UAE state.

G42's security profile is considerable and any form of confrontation is seen as a holistic threat both to the family and the UAE.

G42 focuses laser-like on strategic influence.

G42 is linked by family to the Royal Group which is the main investment locus for the family's huge wealth (over $300 billion).

G42's chairman also runs Alterra (the biggest climate investment fund on the planet), the First Abu Dhabi Bank and the UAE's sovereign wealth fund.

G42's Sheikh Tahnoon seeks to corner markets and will not accept competition. Tahnoon is obsessed with victory.

G42 and its predecessors have focused heavily on espionage technologies for a quarter of a century. A critical security construct ensued called Project Raven where US and UAE spies worked together on global surveillance technologies and strategies.

G42 also works closely with Israel on surveillance, particularly with regard to Pegasus (the most sophisticated spyware in history). UAE security operators are able to access any Apple or Android phone without detection by the user.

G42 founder Tahnoon expanded Project Raven into DarkMatter which orchestrated hacking and surveillance activities on behalf of the Sheikh. If one threatens the interests of the Al Nahyan family (even peripherally) then one should expect to be targeted. DarkMatter evolved into G42.

G42's precursor DarkMatter were broad based in their surveillance of targeted mobile users. Even though BlackBerry claimed that "privacy and security form the crux of everything we do", the company was actually working with the cybersecurity unit of the UAE.

G42 offers real time threat defence to customers and the UAE as well as integrating that into the company's modus operandi at the core. As part of its strategic defence, G42 focuses on suspect profiling, relationship mapping and behavioural analysis.

G42 has located itself at the epicentre of global artificial intelligence infrastructure for decades to come.

G42 focuses on controlling key nodes abroad.

G42, alongside Microsoft, launched the Responsible AI Future Foundation last year to shape "ethical development and deployment of AI systems".

G42 operates under applicable laws, data protections and rigorous security and compliance frameworks.

If the Football Is Fixed Network were considering waging war, we most certainly wouldn't take up arms against an entirely unrivaled state-based corporate intelligence operation with highest tier strategic attack and defence capabilities. 
It's like the old adage - never hack a spy.

And we most certainly would not entertain initiating an unjust war where, in an attempt to achieve a favourable outcome, we positioned ourselves as prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner without any external oversight!

Anyway, the Premier League versus G42 - get above yourselves, why don't you?

Conclusion - This Is The End

Jean Baudrillard: "Just because a tile falls off a roof, there is not necessarily someone underneath it at the right moment: that would be too good to be true."

One of the many aspects overlooked by organised crime is that Sheikh Khaldoon was given diplomatic immunity by Britain six years ago. Representatives of foreign states and their diplomatic staff enjoy privileges and immunities under the Diplomatic Privileges Act (1964) which provides diplomats with immunity from prosecution under criminal, civil and administrative laws.

So, not only are the charges against Manchester City entirely contrived but also the legal landscape is a minefield.

Furthermore, Khaldoon is diplomatically in charge of the UAE's UK and China files in addition to being the main liaison with the US administration. As the likes of Boehly and Wasserman depend on the US state for largesse and consolidation of opportunities, the EPL case is causing organised crime turbulation in the US and geopolitical issues for Britain with regard to both China and the US. Can the Premier League actually be any more undermining to it's league and the British state?

When UEFA targeted Manchester City, Khaldoon is alleged to have stated that he would rather spend £30 million on the best fifty lawyers in the world to sue UEFA for the next 10 years than to agree to a financial penalty.

As this fake charade progresses, who is going to run out of money first? Sheikh Khaldoon & the UAE or the Premier League & a mafia man from Stirling with a Napoleon Complex?

Another rather obvious point that needs making is that if the HMRC didn't see fit to move on Manchester City in 2018 when having access to exactly the same "evidences" as the Premier League, what have the EPL discovered that a national tax authority couldn't?

The longer this goes on, the more impactful it is going to be for the Premier League. Although Gareth Southgate sides with Manchester City over the complexities of the reality, he believes that there will be no winners in this affair.
We disagree, City will win and the EPL and organised crime will lose.
The British state will not allow any other outcome.

The Premier League have initiated a turf war against Arab ownership of English football clubs which, unsurprisingly, is having geopolitical impacts. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are reengaged in dialogue after a decade or so of  strategic impasse.

The two Arab behemoths used to work hand in hand but had recently clashed over influence and regional conflicts, maritime trade routes and global energy contracts but the Cartel have reunited these two states against the underhand expansionist strategies of the USA as the Saudi Crown Prince has held talks with senior Emirati royals to end the rift.

State ownership of football clubs is a moral bifurcation where the more negative aspects of such ownership are entirely eclipsed by the benefits to the UK - Manchester has been entirely reformed by UAE investments and when the UAE saved Barclays Bank and other British financial institutions in the aftermath of the 2007 / 2008 financial crash, our economy was granted a secure safety net by Arab investment.

The Football Is Fixed Network used to believe that state ownership of football clubs was problematical...
... but compared to club ownership by organised crime, give us the state any day.
The Cartel are out of their depth in confronting states.

The Premier League charges against Manchester City are not evidenced, they are constructed. 
Anybody could be found guilty of anything with policing of this calibre.
It is a fake jigsaw created to suggest a reality that suits organised crime.
That's all it is.

Football fans have the power to change the dereliction of their sport.
It is the fans whose money is being channeled to organised crime.
The choice is a beautiful game that enhances the lives of supporters or an organised crime entity that is geared to the wealth creation of mafia....
... that's the choice.
____________________________________________________________________________

In 2006, I established Football Is Fixed to protect football from organised crime.

At a meeting with a German who works for Maltese Intelligence in 2020 in Mallorca, I described our Mission Statement and he retorted "Well, you've fucking failed, haven't you?!"
And by those initial parameters we have - football is orders of magnitude more corrupt now than it was twenty years ago/

But we at least have decelerated that process of sporting oblivion and we have commented on and exposed the crooks at all stages of that deterioration.

In this process I have been threatened, received menaces, narrowly survived a hit-and-run attack on my vehicle (which was a write-off), my home has been accessed, my family infiltrated and I was viciously attacked yielding a double fracture of the spine.

But, even in stalemate, we have won this David versus Goliath battle.

Football Is Fixed have entirely shut down the fake Premier League narrative targeting Manchester City and we haven't even started our main military strategies yet. The perpetrators of the pseudo charges against City are completely in the dark when it comes to evaluating what they are up against.

Messengers in the enemy camp keep us aware of strategic developments by the Cartel, the latest of which reeks of desperation.
The extortionist Rui Pinto who blackmailed Doyen Sports for ransom money is being offered to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to enable exposition of high wealth individuals who undertake tax evasion and accounting fraud against the British state.

This is exactly the same construct that was utilised by Football Leaks.
Just as Manchester City were charged while rogue clubs from the Cartel had evidences secreted away, so high wealth individuals outside the Cartel will be delivered to the SFO for assessment while certain organised crime individuals and other friends of mafia will be hidden from view.

This ruse is simple, flawed and will be entirely ineffective.

States are interested in power and money and, via any activation of this Cartel ploy, the British state will only recuperate a tiny percentage of the losses that will accrue if the UAE walks away from this malicious mafia murmuration.

The mafia are merely in possession of a tarnished asset which is diminishing in value in real time due to their own actions.

So.
Many happy returns to diminishing returns Mr Colquhoun.
Nobody has all of the power all of the time.

As for football itself, we look back to Daphne Caruana Galizia's final tweet before she was assassinated by the Maltese mafia for her role exposing corruption on the island: "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate."

This is not only the end of the Football Is Fixed blog but also it is also the beginning of the end of the primacy of mafia control of English football and of the global sporting domination of a private company called the Premier League..
