I'll preface this by saying I had no betting interest in this game. This information comes form a person who's a very big bettor and always has a lot of information. This match was not fixed before the game so he had no idea of what happened until he heard a few days later.
On the final day of the Premiership, the matches are supposed to start at the same time. They did but this match fell behind the Bolton- Stoke City match as the first half ran a bit long as did the halftime break. There were a lot of stoppages in the second half so the Bolton- Stoke result was known to the clubs at the 89 minute mark of the match. That meant that QPR was safe from relegation no matter what happened. They had a 2-1 lead at the time and that's when the plan was put into motion.
Had Manchester City lost this game, it would have been remembered for the next five hundred years and the zillionaires that spent a fortune putting this club together were not going to let that happen. The QPR sideline was informed to let Manchester City win but don't make it look too obvious. That's hard to do when you've fought like hell and played tight defense the entire game. When Dzeko tied it on the header, there wasn't anyone within a mile of him. On the winning goal, the entire QPR defense parted the sea and the goalie gave Aguero the entire short side to shoot at and made sure he was leaning the other way so Aguero would know where to shoot.
The QPR ownership, management and players were all taken care of and at the end of the day, they still got to stay in the Premiership. This will probably never come out but it happened and as the old saying goes. Business is business.
