Mr Fixit’s Tips


Mr Fixit Football Tipster: Current Status & Review

Key Update: The original “Mr Fixit” (Paul Jain) passed away in 2023. The brand is now operated by a digital media group.

1. Is there still a “Mr Fixit”?

The original personality is gone. Paul Jain, the legendary tipster for the Daily Record who founded the community, has sadly passed away. He was widely respected for his “bookie-bashing” accumulators and expertise in Scottish football.

New Ownership: The brand and website (mrfixitstips.co.uk) were acquired by North Star Network in March 2024. North Star is a sports media group that operates multiple sports news sites.

  • Who runs it now? It is operated by a team of content creators and tipsters rather than a single personality.
  • The Approach: The new owners utilize a “data-driven” approach while maintaining the site as a content hub.

2. Reviews for the Current Service (2024–2025)

Since the transition from a personal blog to a corporate-run site, the nature of reviews has changed:

  • Community Sentiment: The comment section remains the most valuable asset. The “Mr Fixit” community is very active, and long-time users often post high-quality tips in the comments that rival the official site content.
  • Performance Transparency: There are no verified third-party proofing records for the current team’s performance. The historical reputation belongs to Paul Jain, not the current writers.
  • Verdict: The site serves best as a news and statistics resource. The personal connection to the “Man in the Know” is no longer present.
