    Not necessarily It depends on how it's looked at and how a person thinks something has to work. Yours and mine will naturally differ, as will many others.
    A handful of officials, a few fixers to stir the pot, plus possible enhancements. It could be done.
    It's possible but each to their own thoughts on it.

    Spilling the beans would incriminate a person for one and possibly place that person in danger. Possible, right?
    Also, how easy would it be to discredit a whistleblower. Easier than people think, I would guess.

    I can't really go far on those because I've never took any notice of any.

    As has been said...too many people involved to be creditable as with most stupid conspiracy theories!

    Your worst point is leicester having fewer injuries...what are you supposed to be implying there exactly? That the fa gave them a secret get better quickly sirum? Or that all the other clubs and players were paid to fake injuries?

    It was a fluke no doubt...lots of luck, right place at the right time as well as an unbelievable performance throughout the season.

    Match fixing has and will be done again...a whole season fixing is not possible!

    You may have expected Leicester to have been a reasonable bet for a mid table finish that season, therefor to fix it would need co-operation for half the teams in the league (10) over 38 Matches plus help from the officials and 22 players so we are looking at 10x38x5x28 throwing in a few subs that's 53,200 without one single setback.

    As regards a whistle blower it doesn't have to be one of those 50,000+ it just needs to be a disgruntled friend or partner in the know. I just don't think tat's very feasible.

    They may be stupid conspiracy theories to you and you are welcome to that thought.
    However, if you are honest with yourself you will accept that you do not know the truth of it, except what you think is your truth.
    I don't know the truth of it but I don't buy into it being entirely legit and is why I'm theorising, which is far from stupid in my mind, which is what counts to me just as your thoughts count to you.

    What makes sports people better, faster, stronger and heal better?
    You don't need to answer...just use it as a thought.

    Fine. You are welcome to that. I have no issues with your stance.
    I think massively different that's all.

    Awful answers...stop clutching!

    I do know the truth of it...you making things up doesn't create an alternative truth! I could decide I can fly no matter any FACTS to the contrary, then say, well I could have flown, nobody can prove I didn't!

    Whatever makes sports people stronger, faster, etc is not the sole property of Leicester City...that's the point I already made!

    Match fixing a whole season isn't possible...EVER player, coach, manager and official would need to be involved at some point! It's a ridiculous idea!

    You don't need all of that.
    Like I explained earlier on in this thread.

    Like I said earlier. Any whistleblower can be discredited in a heartbeat.
    This thing is more than easily pulled off.

    What? For 380 games. Half the division's total games, not only Leicester's.

    No you don't. You believe you do but have no direct proof for why you do.

    I'm not claiming an alternative truth. I'm claiming an alternative theory, other than the one we are told is the truth.

    Strawman.

    Nobody's saying it is.

    No they wouldn't, as I explained earlier.
