For match fixing when he was at levente iborra's team got paid a million pounds to let zargoza win a game that allowed them to stay up.

Prosecutors said the money that was allegedly given to Levante players was divided among the squad.

[Guest MattP]

I actually remember that match, was big news among gamblers, had no idea Iborra was involved in it.

[foxfanazer]

 Only us!

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

I'll také Iborra getting a ban for Herrera getting one too

 

Odd that Iborra hasnt had game time coming up to this, hasnt Herrara had limited pitch time too i think I noticed?

2 years prison (usually suspended for first time offenders in Spain) and 6 yearban. 

 

Ander Herrera and Gabi also involved

No wonder sevilla were so keen to get rid him on sold him to us on the cheap

Well I guess that answers the question "What's the point of Vicente Iborra?".

[sylofox]

Seems like he's already started his ban.

[sylofox]

Are we just unlucky or is this a lack of homework.

When you buy a company you have to produce a disclosure bundle (documents relating to any deals or issues that might be a problem) you then indemnify the buyer against any issues not on the bundle or any tax liabilities etc

Surely a club selling a player should do the same.... desclose any snags and then indemnify the buyer against any any undesclosed problems.

 

[The whole world smiles]

I doubt all 30 players will get banned historically to fix a match you only need to pay off 3 players off. Usually the including the goalie and a defender.

[Captain...]

 

seriously  though 1 million pounds split between the squad of 30, that's £33,333 each. I know Levante isn't the richest club in Spain, but even 7 years ago that is a couple of weeks wages  for most of their starting 11, at most a months wages tax free. Imagine risking your entire career for a few weeks wages. Madness.

When will we recall Andy King as a benchwarmer

[Guest Col city fan]

Do we actually do any homework on players? If this is true it’s another example of shoddy ness (is that a word?) in our recruitment dealings.

[Tuna]

If he got a ban presumably he'd be in breach of contract and would be sacked?

[Guest MattP]

Iborra whoaaaaaaaa

Iborra whoaaaaaaaa

Match fixing money flowed

Now he lives on Welford Road

What do you mean 'if it's true'? 

 

As for doing our homework... seriously. This happened seven years ago. How were the club supposed to know there would be a move to prosecute 7 months after we bought Iborra? It would seem Man U and Real Madrid are among what by now must be dozens of other shoddy recruitment departments.

Correct - that's when buying a business- it's known as due diligence . I'm unsure if the same applies in the case of an individual 

[Suzie the Fox]

Nooooooooooooooo

[Tringfox]

Supporting Leicester is the longest, rollocoaster your ever like to ride! They should rename our club to Alton Towers F.C. 

 

[foxes_rule1978]

He might of been in the team doesn’t mean he knew anything about it... hopefully

It’s £780,000-ish in Sterling.

 

And there are 44 people charged.

 

So that’s £18,000.

Well that’s unfortunate
