Genuine question which maybe more IT savvy people may be able to answer
They claim to have obtained stolen or hacked emails and documents. How can they prove they came from City? We could genuinely claim we’d never seen them before! Also how could they prove that they hadn’t been doctored or even completely made up?
As far as I know we haven’t committed a crime, just allegedly broke some football rules, so the police won’t get involved and we won’t be under any obligation to make our IT systems available for inspection or interrogation under warrant
I don't condone the language but his overall point is that we did everything we could to increase revenue/reduce costs and it's come back to bite us on the arse somewhat. More than anyone else outside the club probably, I understand what we did and why we did it. Personally I don't much care but looking at it through non-partisan eyes, we've suffered reputational damage that could have been avoided. I don't think we'll suffer any more consequences than that mind you and I hope the club take the same ruthless, win-at-all-costs approach to whoever hacked us.
So, let me get this right, you think in 2011/12 we should not have done everything we could to maximize revenue and minimize costs but rolled over and allowed a re-engineered FFP to significantly damage us. If we had gone down that path we would now, arguably, be a club without a PL title, without this team and without this manager - possibly even without our current owners. Seems strange retrospective advice indeed from one who has had so much to say throughout these pernicious attacks. Maybe you are right though, an extra £50m without any fuss and we'd still be where we are now without offering the cartel this particular avenue of attack. I think they wouldn't have had to bother, we wouldn't be a threat now, but if things had panned out as they have do you seriously believe they wouldn't have gone down another route to try to destroy us?I don't condone the language but his overall point is that we did everything we could to increase revenue/reduce costs and it's come back to bite us on the arse somewhat.

I think they are mate, they work privately behind the scenes with minimal fuss.Why don't we start banning these horrible journos from the stadium that are happy to eat our lunches and enjoy our hospitality but write shit about us.
The club needs to be more robust with the media.

Well we'll probably see how good their lawyers really are.I've been reading through the reddit AMA session last night, were many late good questions remained unanswered.
They said the amount of 70 million documents alone is a hint that it probably is no fake, as it would have taken too long to produce all that. Hm...
Talking about their work procedures they were stressing the importance of responsibility they have as investigative journos.
Any single sentence they are using in those leaks were tested in terms of plausibility and reviewed by Spiegel's own lawyers, they said.
They have been setting up an internal IT platform independent from internet to have a high standard of security for those data and communication within the project.
Huge parts of private documents not connected to the stories in some way remain unleaked, they said.
They just follow their feeling that something is going wrong and hope that formal investigations from other authorities will follow their leaks.
They are driven by the idea of stopping leading powers and big money to do just what they want, more or less,
following kind of a romantic view about good old football.
Surely De Siepgel are in serious breach of GDPR and have no legal rights to hold the documents All companies will have a legal statement on the bottom of their emails as to confidentiality and the right to see the contents. They also gave no right to pass the information to another party
Or they could have taken the PSG route. Which, as the documents reveal, was simply to repeat incessantly that UEFA were wrong, that the mega-sponsorship deal with a single Qatari entity (the Qatari Tourism Authority) was a legitimate contract at fair market value. When UEFA, as part of the FFP process, hired independent marketing experts to determine that, no, it was actually overvalued by a factor of 80, they negotiated their punishment down as best they could, took it on the chin and settled.
