Based on the official Police investigation, only the above players have been implicated in matchfixing. There is no reason to further accuse other players and teams until we get more information. Incessant blind accusations will not be tolerated. Please read the thread and the updates before posting. As of page 54 we will be moderating against match fixing accusations for players who were not caught in this incident, including those using voided Pinnacle bets as evidence. | ||

I don't know much about other countries in fact but in France the leagues are very strict towards the teams who don't manage to have a balanced budget. There are regularly cases of teams relegated down 1 or 2 divisions because they failed. | ||

Apparently Gerrard ended up knee deep in debt trying to run the team without sponsor. He had already borrowed so much money from relatives and friends. Still doesn't justify what he just did to the Esports community though | ||

Are you suggesting I'd be upset if somebody didn't match fix? I was just using a (prevalent) example of how your attitude could seemingly be summed up by: Match fixing isn't happening. Well, ok, not much. Ok, well it isn't that big a deal. Oh, well it can't be stopped so can we stop talking about this? | ||

When there are people WORKING pretty much 24/7 for no money except when they do well, then these things are bound to happen. | ||

It is pretty strange behaviour to repeat the same sarcastic remarks several times and then argue with people about them. | ||

He's responsible for them and was meant to be looking out for their best interests, not offering them criminal opportunities in the team house. | ||
