    its crazy how the whole football world can watch something obviously happening and then 20 years later the powers that be realise that something happened.

    (something being massive amounts of money laundering/corruption/fraud)

      Simply because it is now talked about doesn’t mean people weren’t aware it was happening. Think Jimmy Savile. To say many (premier league, Chelsea) stood idly by while reaping the rewards while turning a blind eye to the origin of the funds is more like it.
