“But I Want Yous to Win It” – Massive Refereeing Scandal Revealed in Premier League Raising Doubts on Leicester City’s Historic Win

The Premier League is perhaps one of the best soccer leagues in the world. The league amasses some of the best players and teams around the globe. Moreover, the popularity of this league is at a different level, with over 1.4 billion viewers worldwide.

It holds significant spectatorship among the likes of other leagues, including La Liga, the Bundesliga, and Serie A. One of the best things about this league is that no team is a favorite to win the championship.

In other words, there is no dominance of a particular soccer club in the league, and any team can become the winner. Perhaps that is why the Premier League is considered one of the most competitive leagues in the world.

Premier League refereeing scandal

Usually, when a soccer match is played, either side is likely to win the contest. Furthermore, to conduct any match in fair practice, it is made sure that the officials are not biased against any other team. One such incident has come to light that may shock many soccer fans. The 2016 Premier League campaign was an emphatic one to witness. Fans couldn’t believe Leicester City had clinched the prestigious title.

“He should have sent someone off, but he said something like ‘I should have sent you off, but I want you to win it”—it was mad you know I swear to god!” said Simpson.

Fans may start questioning their feeling about the Foxes as a shocking detail has been underlined by their player. Leicester City’s defender, Danny Simpson, has revealed a known referee made a biased decision in their favor.

During a game, one of his teammates had been booked and was even in contention to get another booking. However, Mark Clattenburg, the referee, refused to do so as he wanted Ranieri’s side to win the contest.

Common treason to occur

This is quite an allegation from Simpson and may have left the majority of soccer fans in shock. But this isn’t the first time that has happened in a soccer match, especially with Clattenburg in it.

The referee made a huge mistake between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid during the Champions League final by awarding a penalty to Atleti. Moreover, he also disclosed that he wanted England to get knocked out of Euro, in order to get the chance of refereeing the final.

It is shocking to hear that referees tend to make such biased decisions in deliberation. After all, referees are the only ones who can conduct a soccer match fairly. We hope that it doesn’t happen again, and the apex authorities of soccer must comply with the necessary precautions.
