Professional corruption

Corrupution and bungs in the game would be rife I’d imagine. It’s just that the Panorama programme was all hearsay, and proved absoultely nothing. There will a few Lawsuits flying Parorama’s way I’d imagine.

Lets get ONE thing clear before we go any further.

There is NO corruption in football.

There maybe corruption in the business side of the game.

Made me laugh today, sky interviewed the main agent involved in the panarama documentary, the edited version shouted to sky’s subcribers not to panic, keep subscribing.

Anyway, all involved deny any wrong doing, and theres no real evidence either way.

We all know theres corruption, as proved with former arsenal manager george graham.

The question is, how much corruption is there, and how will it effect the proffessional side of the game?

How corrupt is diving, feigning injury if an opponent comes near you, drug abuse, etc. Nothing to do with the business side of the game but everything to do with a “win at all costs” attitude.

Of course there is corruption in football, it’s just what level you class the corruption at

Excellent point slayer, and i cant believe that passed me by. They do dive etc for financial gains though.

you have just ruined my love of the game :wink:

I can see a club sueing a player and/or club for diving one day, probably cos it costs them valuable points or a place in the next round.

I think you may be right- video replay should be avilable and the FA should be able to review incidents in games, punishments, includig unlimited fines should be handed out- the Zakora dive from Sunday’s Spurs n Portsmouth game was just beyond belief and won Spurs the game
