[Botchie]

Wasn't there a story today about Parry been caught having a bet on them going down?

There should be some recriminations in the EFL too. How many instances like this have their been now?!

They seem to get off Scott free

 

[Mantobar]

Not read what's been said but basically
They be made a name up of somebody to buy the club month ago, gadgy doesn't exist
Mega bet in far east for Wigan to go down that's what Parry says in the video
It stinks and it shows the efl to be the shambolic organisation it is

I don't think so. He was caught talking to someone about the big bet placed in the Philippines.

Their incompetence (if that's what it is rather than anything more sinister) has cost peoples their livelihoods on numerous occasions now - it's not just about the effect on a game. Nothing changes though.

Ah right. I only caught a glimpse of a headline that popped up on my phone.

If it's right and he hasn't acted on it, then he's implicated surely?

Would the company the bet is placed with, assuming it's a multi million pound bet with 10x the amount as a pay out, not be highly interested in this as the bet itself would be void if they can prove collusion?

Seems too absurd to be real. They buy a football club for £20/30/40 million , to throw that money away, to win a bet? How much are they expecting back off this bet like?

Depends on how much they have on. Wigan were around 8/1 for the drop at the start or the season.

the whole thing is dodgy, the test I mean

Stewart Donald does have 50 million quid, or access to 50 million quid

yet he fooled the board he did

i'd be stunned if bookmaker paid out. Remember few years someone backed rangers when went tits up, failed in high court. Im surprised they think they can get away with it.
