PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I'm an absolute no nowt, but the main news here, as I've always seen it, is someone went into our system and a German news magazine published the emails, adding their own context. Not Bayern's emails, not Juve's, not premiership red tops, ours. That's something which has never sat right with me. Bet there was a lot of deletion and updated security patches at other clubs after that

I was told the convicted extornionist who carried out the hack created a fake almost replica UEFA email, eg

jimmy.grimble@uefaa.com.

He then sent an email to our IT using identical formatting, icons and fonts etc as UEFA. The fake email demanded access to the clubs email servers as part of a mandatory UEFA audit. Someone fell for it, God knows what happened to them, and granted the hacker a password
The criminal is considered to be a self taught computer genius and once in the system he used malware to rip a few GB of data.

Although considered admissible by CAS, the ruling made it clear the emails did NOT in anyway reflect actual events and were completely immaterial, another aspect never mentioned in a MSM report.

Unless co-operation is clearly defined in the PL rules then even that is on "load of ole bollox" territory.

Cooperation until 2018 was just the b rule good faith. Following the hack email publication they added all the w specifics regarding cooperation during investigation etc . Wouldn’t surprise me it the cunts a while pep or player interviews on match days to ensure some of them stick. They also appear to be applying those retrospectively back to 2009

A fellow trusted blue (not club staff), he said its public domain but not easy to find. Apparently Pinto also used the same method with UEFA staff and it worked to a lesser extent. From personal experience I've worked in a company where that method was used for simulated attacks and some staff fell for it.That's why you should always double check the sender before ever replying to an unsolicited email.

My guess on what i read was that he created a phishing scheme good enough to fool 50-something directors of football clubs. Which doesnt sound *that* difficult if youre capable of spelling correctly, for instance (we've all had our 'bank' contact us in English that looks written by a 6 year old, right?). I'd expect any IT professional to have a fairly high email security awareness, but if above is true then apparently lots of them, at many different clubs, were caught out. Anyway, I'm really only speculating.

CAS view was that the hacked emails from der spiegel weren't strictly valid, and City wouldn't confirm or deny their veracity, but then effectively did confirm veracity of some of the documents by various testimonies in the hearing. Then, City produced 'real' versions of messages, perhaps to highlight the modifcation either Pinto or der spiegel had imparted.

Nothing being reported this week by the hate media? It's almost as if only when we win shit that they pull the 115 charges out of the bag... Child like jealous fuckers, their emotions are laid bare.

“Plucky underdogs beat human right abusing oil cheats”
It almost writes itself ; )
 
Spitting and sky brushed over Everton and the premier league investigation. Where is the outcry to have the financial cheats relegated instead of Leeds or Leicester? Surly we alleged cheats need to be treated the same? Nah didn’t think so. The witch hunt is clear and obvious.

Will one of the teams relegated now demand a place back in the premier league?

Move along, nothing to see here…why because the club above is not MCFC and has not won at the expense of the red shits.

Liverpool fake stadium rebuild.

Leicester dodgy owner, hidden investment.

United with caymans bank accounts.

Chelsea with soft loans and Russian money.

Arsenal with bloody war money from emirates and Rwanda.

That’s it off the top of my head -:)

Oh, this info is in the public domain and has not been gathered through illegal hacking means so it’s been forgotten about for the good of the game.

Plus Hull. They fell foul of FFP in 2014 because they qualified for the Europa League by finishing runners up in the FA Cup final. Liverpool failed FFP in 2013 but escaped without sanction because they failed to qualify for Europe so fell outside UEFA's remit for punishment. Then there was Liverpool's blatant cheating of FFP in 2015 when they were allowed to offset £35 million in years old bogus 'stadium expenses' for the phantom Stanley Park project against their FFP losses. It looks very much like they kept all that shit back for a time when they needed to save their arses with FFP. All sanctioned and swept under the carpet at UEFA by their man on the inside Rick Parry.
