Leicester City managed to win the Premier League title in the 2015/16 season, and former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg now revealed that he may have handed the Foxes a good decision that year.
In an interview with Mirror, Clattenburg now revealed that throughout the campaign, he warned only two Leicester City players because they were good people. He also admitted that Leicester City players may have escaped due to their advantage without reservations or suspensions.
Clattenburg may cause controversy
He said (H/T Foxesofleicester): “I only warn two Leicester players throughout the season because I found out that the Leicester boys were really happy and because they were good people, they might be away from it because of their advantage. Do you know what I mean?”
Such revelations will certainly cause controversy and may eventually undermine the Fox’s fairy tale battle. There is no doubt that they were the best teams in the division that year, but these claims by former Premier League referees may ultimately undermine their efforts and efforts.
Simpson in Clattenburg
Meanwhile, former Leicester City defender Danny Simpson also claimed that Clattenburg admitted that he wanted Leicester City to win, so he decided not to send some players that season.
“I remember the partner’s Fort Craton. I think he should have sent someone down, and what he said, ‘I should have sent you there, but I want you to win…I think that’s drinking, actually drinking. It’s his second yellow or something, and he can easily send him down, but he doesn’t.”
Leicester City had a talented team at the time and they deserved the Premier League title. But Fort Craton’s comments certainly won’t get along well with other British clubs that competed with the Fox at the time.
