Wenger: fixer must be named
Wenger: fixer must be named
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has called on the player who helped fix a match to be named. Reportedly, a player in England was paid £50,000 to get himself sent off and the Gunners coach has demanded the players identity be known and that he is banned for life from football.
"He has to come out really with it because I don't think it's fair," said the Gunners boss.
"I believe it throws suspicion into our sport that is unfair unless you name the guy.
"I don't think it is a problem. However, match-fixing is horrible. I never could believe that it could happen here.
"You want justice to be done. If you want to win the game and you know that the matches are fixed, the sport has no chance.
"For any single case that you find, you have to ban for life."
