Bribery and corruption

Excellent article in October 2006 edition of Four FourTwo, which in my humble opinion is the only football magazine worth reading, altough WSC comes a close second.

The article in question is about the match fixing in Serie A that of course got Juventus relegated. From what you read that was way too kind a punishment! But what was interesting was that some other bribery cases were mentioned including the Malatyaspor Denizlispor allegations from last season. Alos Eric Gerets gets a mention from when he was playing in Belgium, I think, that he tried to bribe some opposition players. Interestingly no mention of the Kadikoy mob but there's is a more Juventus style influencing and buying of the TFF etc.

Hope Eric has the cheques in his pocket for Saturday.............
