Barcelona (La Liga's Wrexham :) ) allegedly paid the Head of refereeing 7 and a half million quid between 01 and 18...
Wonder why.....
In a just world....automatic and permanent expulsion from all Spanish leagues, all records expunged, all trophies awarded to runners-up, corruption charges, imprisonments. Well, you can fantasise.... Now they can use similar money to buy the justice system just as they bought the referees...

Disgusting!!!
I want my money back, I thought it was iffy at the time when Barcelona strolled to a 4-0 win versus Real Betis in 2007.
Yeah they had Messi, Ronaldinho and Henry up front supported in midfield by Toure , Iniesta and Xavi but they also had the referee on their side!!
Great evening in the Catalan capital regardless.
Cue Davy :o:o
All the richest clubs have been buying referees since time began. Barcelona, Real M, Dortmund, PSG, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Anderlecht, Juventus (sad to say) Standard Liege, etc. etc.
So why do we bother with football if that's always the case?Quote:
