Unfortunately Majority here don’t understand the difference between leverage and blackmail.
Im not an expert but those communication on their earpieces are on specific radio frequencies. It should’t be that difficult to hack. Those who believe english football is squeaky clean must be living under the rocks.

See, it's the bit about 'living in the dark ages' or 'under a rock' unless we believe.... Its the first line of every conspiracy theorist attack on anyone who disagrees.

Thanks for the explanation and thinking behind it. I wish more people itk would do that. But as mentioned we can take it at face value, and at face value one guy on the Internet has told us some other guy said this, and some other guy has confirmed it.... that really doesn't mean we're living under a rock if we don't trust the information or buying into mass PL and PGMOL conspiracy theories.

I see Barcelona won’t face any investigation into their alleged “bribery” of a an ex fifa official to obtain neutral information on the leagues Refs ???????????????

Apparently there is Not enough evidence!

Fuck me sideways, so it’s ok to come after MCFC for hacked out of context email. Our whole existence is on the line.

Fucking cunts.

just sruprised they didnt say not in the public's interest
 
Isn't it naive to believe that the other five members of the 'big six' are pure as the driven snow and have no skeletons rattling around in their closets?

I would be astonished if that were true. Whether City have enough evidence of it is another matter. You also have to bear in mind the incredible bias of the media and the cloak of protection thrown over certain clubs, no matter what they and their fans may do.

@M18CTID - appreciate your comments (and the character verification!).

When I was told this yesterday, I reacted in the way most on here have. A mixture of disbelief and laughter if I'm honest. After 40 years of supporting City and hearing every conceivable terrace conspiracy theory known to man, it was going to be filed with the rest, but when it became obvious that the guy I was talking to was deadly serious and there was more to this than a simple conspiracy theory, I started to take an interest. He mentioned a couple of names who could "verify" his claims, one of whom I spoke to and I was told exactly the same thing. I'm also aware that a reasonably well known City twitter account has the same information. I'm not some wet behind the ears snotty-nosed kid, I'm what is commonly known on these pages as an FOC. A typical Mancunian cynic in all things in life, don't seek the limelight and I'm generally apathetic to stuff like this. However, in MY opinion, there is substance to this and anyone who thinks it isn't possible that such a conversation took place (and was recorded) is living in the dark ages.

Anyway, I just want to clarify a couple of things:

There's a very big difference between blackmail and leverage.
The recording wasn't obtained by surreptitious means in any way linked to the Club, whether that be by Middle Eastern special forces, Chinese weather balloons or MI5. It has been handed to the club by a third party.
The intervening "voice" on the recording was not part of the matchday on field team, not a member of the VAR team and not the matchday commander.
The on field referee received an instruction from the intervening voice, who allegedly used the phrase "levelling up".
The "dossier" I mentioned in my original email is my take on things, I have not suggested that the club has one, I'm simply expressing my opinion, although I'd be amazed if they didn't have one.
The club who have distanced themselves from the Nasty 9 is Burnley.

By posting what I did yesterday, I knew I was potentially setting myself up to be a laughing stock, accused of being a raving lunatic, a complete & utter fantasist. My PM's cover all those bases, trust me. Each to their own, I've got broad shoulders. But ask yourself this...why would a perfectly normal, regular Joe City fan, put himself through the ringer like this, if he wasn't confident in the information he was given?

Yes, it could be bullshit, but then again, it could very well be true. There's many, many scandals over the years that were scarcely believable at the time. Scandals that would never have seen the light of day but for the meanderings of some FOC on a faceless platform.

Is football in this country as squeaky clean as they'd have you believe? Yeah....right, sure it is.

The truth will out.

Up the fucking Blues.

Sounds like a comment being made in the commentary gantry from one of Neville or Carragher, I know they’re not supposed to be able to relay anything but maybe the set up was off…..either that or Boris Johnson’s got himself a CB radio

Don’t really understand how anyone could be in the ref’s ear apart from the match officials and Stockley Park. And could this voice have been dubbed on afterwards to make the recording “interesting”?

So if we take @Dodge at his word. Which I see no reason not too. By the way, thanks for posting additional information and for @Chris in London for verifying some of that information.

What will City do with the revelation? I would love for it to be exposed but I just can’t see it. I can see City using it for leverage. We should be able to find out soon enough. The clubs actions over the next few months could be interesting.

I understand we are taking this incident at a face value but I’m referring in general not only this isolated incident. Tbf so far they have managed to keep it zipped up but it’s only a matter of time when the can of worms will be flying around. Power play will only open doors for corruption.

Its really easy to differentiate if it was over dubbed.
