I actually said already I don't think the referendum was fixed, though they were prepared to if they had to, but it is completely different, a football match takes place in public watched by the eyes of millions, and to fix that you'd have to corrupt an outside agent, that is completely different to Westminster being able to fix an election that Westminster is holding, that would be very easy to do and impossible to prove it had been done.
I do but money as a motivation is reduced massively if the player in question already has a lot of it and is going to earn much more anyway, as is the case with every single player in the EPL, who are all now millionaires except youth team players breaking through who soon will be.
I don't mean to offend David or anyone here, I just disagree, I don't doubt match fixing is very common but not in the EPL it isn't, to say it is is just a wild accusation that has never been proven, so you really have to back it up with credible evidence or else it remains so.
