Mainland Football please get your head out from where it needs not to be.
You are close to falling behind the Russian neighbour, if not close then you already have.
The crazy amount of rumours and stories of players within mainland placing bets on their own teams games as well as other local games is frightening and clearly there’s no smoke without fire. You have one of the Premier coaches constantly running their mouth off over how much they’ve won, you have a national league team who appear more than willing to place wagers for and against themselves - strange results would strongly back these claims up, a certain ex player from the champions who made the move to the Russian coffee cartel also boasting about his winnings exceeding tens of thousands of dollars just from the local game. On top of all this, bang average players being paid money to play dreadfully whilst we cripple our junior and youth sections, you brought in some nonsensical APA stuff which most clubs are making a mockery of.
Are you going to come out and do a proper investigation into these allegations or sit back and say there’s nothing you can do? The game is in ruins and the standard is getting poorer and poorer yet little is being done. There’s been emails and messages sent but no sort of a reply or acknowledgment. Perhaps the Canterbury football public will be better off if the the Russians win the war, it would be a massive shame but maybe the shake up needed for football.
Getting amateur football away from betting companies would be a good start if not any Tom Dick or Harry not already in on these money making schemes will soon jump on board. The integrity of the game is on the line and there’s nothing being done.
Maybe Padmore should give up this premier football dream of his and do something that will make people stop questioning what it is he actually does in his role.
