We recently did an interview with █████  █████.
This is the only interview we have ever agreed to and here is a transcript of some parts of it.

Q1: Why do you do it?

Boredom. There really is nothing worth working for in neo-proprietarian capitalism unless you are one of the caretakers sweeping up the Ponzi detritus.

The corruption in football is set to a very simplistic template - there are no deep layers of complexity here. Football is neither military nor intelligence. So we mocked it.

And then we realised that neo-liberalism is exactly the same as football - systemic corruption orchestrated by mafia states. So we thought it would be a bigger hoot to go after financial markets and their alleged efficiency and legitimacy too.

But it was boredom mainly.

Personally, I'm also a scrapper not a lover. I enjoy baiting the criminal loci. Rattling their cages. They're a wunch of bankers and they are taking the piss. But their fear, man, their fear...
They have so much to lose whereas we have little - this is a good asymmetry.

So, in the absence of a functioning and critical 4th Estate, we provide glimpses of a reality. To security thresholds, we are entirely open in our disclosures about the various rogue influences destroying football.

We have shown the fan the manners in which their sport is being stolen from them.

If I'm going to be bored senseless by a spectacle then I'll bore others too.

Q2: Is that the best basis for promoting a new book - boredom?

Yes.

What can be more boring than describing an attempt at a perfect crime that failed. There is no great ingenuity, the beauty has been stolen, the markets control the match outcomes - if you know that match is an agreed draw, it is an artless event. Dead. Merely a flow of exchange.

In football, the Invisible Hand washes the Other. There is no trickledown. No creativity other than in marginal gains and tax evasion. That is incredibly dull - a numbskull appropriation of all that is good in football and a conversion into private wealth via asset stripping the integrity of the sport.

That is totally null. A money grab by scoundrels with an inability to self-deprecate.

There is no sophistication or evolution. It is not like watching a science or an artform advance. Just a conveyor belt of boiler room scams exhibited for our delectation by a media under output capture.

And it's really fuckin' boring. I can't even watch it anymore.
We pay others to be bored on our behalf.

Q3: What do you think of the Premier League's Project Restart?

[laughter] Psychopathic self-harming by the bookies and agents who have been devising the Stalinist secrecy of the project alongside the broadcasters and government.

Fans and race-goers died at the Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid game and at the Cheltenham Festival due to government inaction and many more people are going to die this summer as a backdrop to the splendid government-sanctioned EPL Party.

Germany and UK had their first coronavirus deaths on the same date. Germany followed WHO rules, had 5 times as many critical care beds and used cutting edge modelling from the Robert Koch Institute and have quelled the virus and football without fans is already back.

UK chose herd immunity instead.
Herd immunity is a murderous removal of the pensioner future financial burden by a bunch of fascists. The government encouragement to celebrate VE Day with the absolute breakdown of social distancing rules (the conga?) together with the complete breakdown of lockdown following Demonic Comings' childish little pranks in Durham ensures a second wave of covid-19 this summer.

Neither the daily new case numbers nor the daily deaths are tapering as in other equivalent European countries. Herd immunity means continuous death until between 60-90% of people have been infected but at least the economy will be restarted. And even then there is no proof that this strategy will work without the discovery of a vaccine.

Mad fascist nonsense by a eugenicist and his pampered puppet.

Project Restart does not look good against this backdrop. Individuals have been bullied by the money men. Troy Deeney has received threats for his stance on BAME. Project Restart will present extensive matchfixing and no integrity.
The blinkered selfishness is astonishing.

Peak psychopathy and peak value.
We put a sell advice signal against the EPL.

And if there are deaths related to the tyrannies of fun that the EPL is staging...

#BoycottProjectRestart

Q4: How would you go about fixing a football match?

Depends on the strata of the game.

In the UK it costs around £175K to buy a bog standard National League game - for this amount there will be an absolute control of the event so long as you have undertaken your background research on rogue owners, clubs, bookies, referees and players in the league.

The higher up the hierarchy the harder it gets and the more it costs.

Firstly, there are many more corrupting influences on matches - some Premier League matches might have half a dozen operations thinking that they control the outcome. So your background analytics must be much more holistic to avoid being patsy at the dark pool table.
Also it costs considerably more to purchase a Premier League PGMOB Select Group match official than other deans lower down the leagues.

The rewards of controlling an EPL game are far far greater than owning the outcome of Stockport County vs Maidenhead United, for example.
It is possible to place a £5 million bet on a Premier League in the Asian underground on the day of a match and the broker won't even blink. Significant power over a dark pool virtuality allows volume up to 100 times greater.
At lower leagues it is difficult to get volume on particularly if you are trying to disguise your market inputs. And if a lower league fix escapes, the price collapses on the 'winner' as, bizarrely, there can be greater market efficiency in a fixed National League game than in a top EPL one.

The hardest events to fix are those where the kudos of winning, the legacy, is more valuable than anything a bookmaker can offer.
Still.
Two recent Champions League Finals have seen cases of the ultimate corruption - a rogue goalkeeper gifting opponents the trophy and a referee who fancied a side earner in corruption. And Manchester City lost to Wigan Athletic in a FA Cup Final once upon a bet.

But.
Of course.
We would never fix a game.
We just tell you how other people do it.
Football should be too beautiful to fix.

Q5: You show in the book how the corruption in UK has become systemic. How so?

Specific isolated instances of corruption, transfer market abuses and matchfixing were the norm until the cycle started to be able to feed back in on itself.

Players and referees who showed that they were amenable to undertaking criminalities in football between 1992 and 2012 found themselves elevated up the hierarchy in future careers.

Virtually all of the players who we exposed in the early days are now permanent fixtures within the UK game either as managers, coaches, agents or media.
There are no unincorporated nodes anymore at institution or club.

Once this is your reality, the corruption is systemic.
Absolute control of matchfixing.
The markets and football match outcomes are twisted to the portfolios of these inside traders.

And the referees and goalkeepers whose 'errors' help land these corruptions today will be enhancing the performativity of future corruptions tomorrow.

Once this cycle of corruption is complete, a sport is lost.

Q6: Are all top clubs fixing games? Are there any patterns of behaviour? What about in Europe?

As we have said, corruption evolves over time.

12 years ago the corruptions in the Premier League & Championship revolved around particular clubs - so Fulham with Colquhoun & Hodgson, West Brom with Peace & Colquhoun, Manchester United under Ferguson and the anti-Arsenal agenda from the PGMOB.

We could easily get high level consultancies in this window as most clubs were legitimate (in the area of matchfixing).

Now, according to our analytics, 75% +/- of EPL teams are inappropriately linked to betting entities and, lower down the league, the only way for clubs to survive is to sell out to Gibraltar or Malta.

There are also issues of integrity around the cartelised behaviour in support of Liverpool, Leicester City and Manchester United under Solskjaer.
One underground market maker knew all about the Liverpool cartel in this current season and has made billions taking on the planet on the Liverpudlians' matches.

The primary pattern is that corruption becomes all-pervading - every new key appointment has been compromised in UK top tier football for a decade. So, when a Head of VAR was needed, look no further than Neil Swarbrick, a referee so closely linked to Colquhoun that they share genitalia.

Unsurprisingly, VAR has been more disastrously applied in England than anywhere else in the world - just like Johnson/Cummings have created the worst covid-19 reaction on the planet.

Free markets supported by inappropriate appointments results in Masters, Swarbrick & Riley or Cummings, Vallance & Whitty - promotions based on political ideology rather than ability.

In major European leagues, the English Disease is also spreading (particularly in the Bundesliga and with the corruption supportive of Dortmund this season).
But no European league has the degree of systemic corruption witnessed in the EPL.
The matchfixing entities in Europe are still largely particular rather than general e.g. Torino or Granada or Hertha BSC.

There is a clear positive correlation between corruption via matchfixing and the collective turnover of bookmakers linked with the country, whether such territory be England, Finland or Malta.

It is the non-regulated control of football by bookmakers that has destroyed any vestige of integrity.
It's fucked. Totally fucked.

Q7: Are you hackers? Do you work with hackers? Why don't you release all evidences in your possession?

Stuff happens.

Our network possesses an array of skills - market analysts, coders, hackers, lawyers, anti-corruption entities, insiders and messengers from enemy camps.

Not all hacking is illegal. We set internal boundaries in the grey hat arena.
If outsiders choose to provide the Football is Fixed Network with black hat knowledge, information and evidences then we are not responsible for their actions.

It is, however, up to us how we use our info.

For example, we have been given full transcripts of the EPL Project Restart meetings plus some side conversations.
This Stalinist and very secretive attempt by broadcasters, bookies and agents to set up insider trading opportunities during a pandemic needs to be made public (which we do in the book).

To date, we have decided to only release 5% of our evidences (the Iceberg Effect) as it was clearly demonstrated by Wikileaks that it is not good strategy to allow states or enemies to have full knowledge of archive.

We choose to release more than 5% with certain entities e.g. John Colquhoun (a matchfixing mafia man) and Tony Bloom (a matchfixing mafia man).
Throughout the book we use these two reprobates as examples of how not to do integrity.

On June 4th it will be a year since the unsuccessful hit-and-run assassination attempt on one of our network.

Colquhoun thought death would be liberation.
But everything seeks its own death...
... including power.

Q8: Wait, wait, wait, wait... Are you making a direct accusation there?

The time for a fulsome accusation has not yet come.

Colquhoun, a Scot, was matchfixing England games via getting captured manager Steve McClaren to pick all three squad goalkeepers from his Key Sports Management agency - David James, Scott Carson and Chris Kirkland.
We exposed the fixing of a friendly game where Denmark defeated England 4-1 with all goals coming from calamities by James after he came on as a second half substitute.
He claimed that he "forgot" to warm up...
... the betting markets suggest otherwise.

Colquhoun met with me and tried to buy us off.
We refused.

We then revealed a fixed Premier League game overseen by Colquhoun in October 2008 and, five days later, I received threats which, due to the man's stupidity, were traced to his then Soho offices.
We logged evidences with police.

Five days before the hit-and-run assault, our network had outed Colquhoun as a mafia operative on materials received.
This time we were ready though - we monitored messengers and spies in the five day window.
We have most of a jigsaw puzzle completed now - from orchestrator to intermediary to operatives.

We are in a similar boat to the anti-corruption campaigner Daphne Caruana Galizia - assassinated in October 2016 for her disclosures of the mafia behaviours of Joseph Muscat (the Maltese PM) and Keith Schembri (his chief of staff and murderous intermediary).

In effect we are in a mutually assured destruction construct where our opponents have far more to lose than us, both financially and reputationally.

Stalemate.

Q9: Could you explain how Tony Bloom owning both Brighton and Hove Albion FC and the Starlizard betting syndicate creates integrity issues?
