Mark Clattenburg has disclosed that during the 2015/16 Premier League season, he only cautioned two Leicester City players due to their good nature. He suggested that this lack of bookings might have been a result of fine margins. His comments could lead to controversy regarding Leicester's title win. Former Leicester defender Danny Simpson mentioned that Clattenburg expressed a desire for Leicester to win, even stating he chose not to send off a player when he could have. This raises questions about the fairness of officiating throughout that season.
I'd only cautioned two Leicester players that whole season because I found the Leicester boys really good crack, and because they were good guys, they probably got away with a bit because of the fine margins. Do you know what I mean?
I remember Clattenburg, mate. I think he should have sent someone off and he said something like, I should have sent you off there but I want yous to win it.
