City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

[Tim of the Oak]

it’s a long shot but I wonder if we could get answers to matters unrelated to the current cases. For example, why was Adebayor banned for the knee slide against Arsenal, even though Ade and his family had been racially abused throughout the game. Probably asking too much.

 

[Sir peace frog]

if people dont think the authorities can retrieve deleted data they are very wrong
This is possible through file system acquisition or physical acquisition. This is the hardest kind of acquisition, as it needs special tools to dump a copy of the storage into a file. However, this lays everything bare—even deleted files.

 

[lancs blue]

Now that would be very interesting if true!

It seems to be borne out by some of the wording in the Times article. It certainly reads as being stronger than a "request".

 

[argyle]

With the latest revelations of Masters and the PL having to reveal text and WhatsApp messages etc have our UAE owners used their political clout and got MI5 involved here ?
Just a thought ……

Not a very good thought.

No, the UAE owners have not set the MI5 on the PL.

Lol.

 

[argyle]

Some of you are getting ahead of yourselves and thinking this will lead to something big.

The likelihood that the messages from the PL will show something that ends the 115 charges is as likely as our own messages showing full evidence of guilt for accounting fraud.

If they are ever made public, they might show one or two tasty messages but nothing of substance.

 

[whipper]

Surly they wouldn't be stupid enough to use official email accounts, we are talking greedy American capitalists.

Yep - thinking about it, I don’t think it would be us making the request

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Planning to discuss this with Simon on Tuesday. He seems to have some strong feelings!

Probably because he got his fingers burnt.

 

[bluemoon32]

MI5 lulz

 

[I'm Blue]

Wonder if any of these emails and text will contain 'these arabs' like we get in the press.
I'll hazard a guess they'll be a few late nights at the PL while they do some spring cleaning.

How do you know it won't ?

 

[SouthStandStander]

I'd assume it's already been done. As in requested and handed over. No way the case would start on Monday if they hadn't received requested evidence yet.

I've got a knuckle duster you can borrow, if you're interested?

 

[Bluearmy]

My first thought is that the independent panel looking at the 115 have made the order.

Must be. City cant “order” that can they?

 

[Leeky]

You’re suggesting we’ve had them hacked?

We don’t need to hack them, we may have seen the emails or other sources may have information that may help our case

Is this not related to the 115 allegations - to commence in November?

There will have been a discovery phase in the planning for the hearing but this isn’t that… this looks like City have produced evidence to the IC of collusion and the IC are possibly looking to establish the scale of the issue.

 

[Kippaxpete]

The counter to that is the Likes of Radcliffe and Bowley( although he is only the frontman) are no fools.

And the Saudi's did not but Newcastle for the fun of it.

Assume you mean Ratcliffe and Boehly.

Yep. Agree that is most likely whats happened. Potentially a very interesting development
