So my journo mate has just text me to say tonight’s Norwich win might cement our league win as finishing 2nd means we’ll win the league. I asked him to explain more and all he would answer in “multiple hackers” He won’t say any more despite me threatening to tell his wife every secret I have on him haha. Any one know what he’s on about? My only explanation is that the dippers have been hacking more teams than us and are getting found out. No idea. Sounds too good to be true but he’s not the kind of bloke to wum so got me excited! On the other hand he might be pissed and on the wind up??

Dear all,

Haven't posted on here for a while. Hope you're all well.

I think there's so many angles to this story. Most of us share the view that FFP was designed to stop city.

No doubt that the cartel are using this as a protection racket.

However, what I am interested in, and it's probably been stated already, is some of the language that's used in the press and wider public domain.

'arab money 'petro dollars' etc etc

Now, the Guardian who purport to be a left wing, liberal newspaper are big on this idea of 'sportswashing' and human rights in the middle east.

I find this very confusing. If the Daily Mail or a more right wing paper were to use such language wouldn't the Guardian amongst others view this through a racist and imperialist lens?

Wouldn't they point to neocolonialist attitudes and bigotry?

In my view, how other countries run their affairs is up to them. Yet i find the contradiction of the Guardian and others staggering.

They believe in the mantra of liberalism, equality and diversity yet only when it applies to a western country.

By casting judgement on other countries surely they are the ones who are now the oppressors?

It seems to be the Guardian are using Manchester City and its owners as a vehicle to impose their political ideology. It's clear that they cannot tolerate a country with a different political, religious and moral outlook.
The Daily Mail and the Guardian do not represent the entire breadth of the political spectrum. They represent different wings of establishment opinion . Often it is the the liberals who are the most poisonous because they are evangelical in support of their Western world view (hence British, and US academics will support human rights groups with a sole focus on the Arab world and ignore their host country).
 
A violent reaction is not really the answer

He's a little bloke with a big mouth

I'm a big bloke with a short temper especially when it comes to city

At this moment can't see us going and fucking it up for everyone else

you need to get him on the back foot.

start a discussion with him on ole and whether he is good enough for the rags, and can he be trusted with a rebuilding job. Most rag fans I know love him but don’t want him as their manager....and as we know they love to talk about themselves.
 
At the moment we can only speculate about what is going on, or what is about to happen. We have the rather vague information from Wattle, saying a journalist friend tipped him off about a looming story that was unfavourable towards Liverpool. The only additional clue from that was the direct quote "multiple hacking". Whether that means Liverpool hacking us after the earlier settlement, or multiple clubs involved in hacking us, is unclear.

PB then said the media have a story that is seriously damaging to our rivals, but we won't see it yet because lawyers are heavily involved.

Now we have this tweet from PB, which seems to suggest (to me at least) that Pinto is not a lone wolf, but is working on behalf of others.

Is it to far fetched to surmise that City have evidence that Pinto was acting on behalf of, and may have been paid by certain cartel clubs, and those clubs are now seeking injunctions to stop this going to press?


I did wonder whether there was a connection between the hacking and the cartel clubs.....this will be interesting
 
If something is so serious that it could potentially blow the lid off the league why would we choose to get the press involved? Wouldn't it be normal process to go via a formal legal route?

If you take the time to type that out and you don't get one single like, then hopefully it's taught you to not do that again...
 
Sounds v encouraging but if that’s the case, why are they still writing such sh*t about us? They don’t seem to have softened their approach
Because they have to sell todays papers as well as tomorrows, they'll happily change their stance with no sense of self disgust when the story (whatever it may be) eventually breaks. Never ever believe the media have any morals.
