This is madness.

Great work Philippe! Also, took your advice and decided to set up a Bsky account

philippeauclair.bsky.social•87 days ago

Marvellous! And thank you...

Massive story, wonder what actions the Gambling Commission will take

philippeauclair.bsky.social•87 days ago

My guess: none. For the moment.

We've been banging our heads against walls since we started investigating this industry, over three years ago. Let's hope those walls crumble down now.

Play it back

Amazing reporting, really great work. Can’t wait until we’re rid of shady shadow company gaming sponsors.

philippeauclair.bsky.social•87 days ago

Very kind of you, thank you.

Wonder if they had odds on Cooper getting sacked.

Oh dear. That's really bad. Leicester has to stay up. And people wonder why PSR is a thing? I fear that we'll see other clubs run into the same situation soon with shady sponsors.

Maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to allow all of these incredibly shady unknown gambling operations to be sponsors. Just like hundreds of people said as it was happening.

fromdialsquare.bsky.social•87 days ago

Are you surprised that they are associated with such a company? Did they think it was better than no sponsor at all that they had before?

Still, good news about the chocolate oranges.
