To control match fixing in football is complex because there are many different ways to achieve this ultimate aim, which is to falsify the result of a match.
The only "effective" deterrent available to the "Football Authorities" is to suspend any person involved, but for life, whatever his position may be, as a Player, or Agent, Trainer, Manager, Referee, etc... !
A timid approach will achieve nothing. Short term or soft suspensions instead of real punishment of well known players or personalities, will never solve, even cure the problem.
Professional Footballers are paid a lot of money. They must be made to think twice about the penalties they could face if they are caught, which must also be the cancellation of all their contractual rights with their football club !
The English FA should act now and even alone ! They should not rely on FIFA to act promptly because it already has too many other current problems !
At a higher level, perhaps Michel Platini would like to intervene !
