The leader of the Brighton and Gove Albion football club Tony Bloom categorically denounced the fact that he had placed bets on the matches of the power team.

The billionaire's statement appeared in evidence during the investigation of The Guardian and the judicial posture that rocked English football. The scandal erupted after the High Court of London received documents related to the call of a high-ranking agent of Bloom's Stard company, Ryan Dudfield..

It is confirmed that Bloom is part of a syndicate that uses front people to circumvent bookmaker limits. Once the materials have been consulted, the syndicate has been victorious about three individuals, among them George Cottrell, a former aide to politician Nigel Farage..

It appears that the current turnover of bettors has reached ?600 million, and bets have never been settled on Brighton matches.

Tony Bloom, who made his fortune himself in professional gambling, called the information about betting on Seagull games a riddle.

" I categorically sing to our fans that I have not placed any bets on Brighton matches since the moment I became the leader of the club in 2009,” reads the official statement.

The rules of the Football Association of England strictly prohibit officials and club officials from placing bets on matches involving their teams or any other conditions in which they may be involved..

If the betting on the Brighton games is confirmed, Bloom can be threatened with serious sanctions, even to the outside of football activities, given his reputation as one of the most successful leaders in the Premier League.
