PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

You see I think Manchester City still have a case here and loads of stuff was passed over by the FA and the Premier League because it was Liverpool in the wrong, Revisiting the case should be an option because the amount of times they hacked into the accounts

City was let down by both governing bodies, They hoped it would all blow over and go away and it did with a settlement, If City could find more information that they were logging into our accounts from different unpermited I.P addresses, databases should still be available and a better Legal team you never know

It has never been and won’t be in our interests to pursue that. We settled with Liverpool anyway so it’s a no goer but that was the best scenario for us too.
 
Watched a good film yesterday (Bank of Dave) it's about a business man in Burnley who wants to start up a new bank for the people of Burnley with profits going to local charities. To get it started he has to apply to the bank regulators but Dave's problem is that it's a closed shop and it's been over a century since a new bank has been accepted ( they don't want any Johnny come latelys taking a slice of the pie) There is a scene in the film where some of the major bankers (red cartel) are sat in the boardroom debating over how to stop Dave and this guy
(Masters) pipes up and says yes let him join our group, the cartel can't believe this but he explains that as we make up all the rules we can make it impossible for him as he won't be able to comply with our bullshit.
It was like watching us against the cartel/pm mafia

It’s what makes me laugh when people say what’s happening to City wouldn’t happen outside football. It’s exactly what happens outside football.

For instance what the Glazers did is pretty much what happened to all of UKs assets.
 
I agree & it was shit by City but the notion the cartel would have accepted their place but for Pinto hacking us is fanciful.
yep but without the leaks all this shit would of been avoided. Look at Chelsea and PSG. They seem to be getting an easy ride compared to us and Chelsea have spent a fucking fortune over the years.

Would BMW be able to get together with other car companies to set limits on Peugeot investment. I don't think so. That might be a bit simplistic but that's the way I see it. I feel sorry for our owners because when they bought City their was no FFP, our owners business model never took into account FFP because it didn't exist. We have had to react to the goalposts being moved and its wrong. Maybe we should of took these clowns to court on day one instead of trying to comply with these artificial barriers being imposed.

Have Chelsea & PSG denied Liverpool, Arsenal & the Rags their rights to the champions league pot.

Every quid above the £80m revenue we used to earn in 2008 that we’ve earnt since they believe was theirs & it pisses them off.

I think you need to look up tariffs & trade barriers.

 
After one foul today by United, breaking up a promising attack Neville praised it as taking one for the team. My thoughts immediately went to his City tactical fouling campaign, which had a great following. A tale of 2 tactics.
Tactical fouling was evident on Saturday in the first half at the Etihad as Michael Brown subtly alluded to but nothing made of it, West Ham committed multiple fouls to stop our attacks and not one yellow.they only received yellow for innocuous ones.

First rugby tackle got a booking the 5 or 6 after were ignored.
 
So City did all they could then?

City can't account for the employee guessing that his old mate at City is using Password123.
There is a problem with having ‘secure’ passwords. We have a system where the password has to be changed every three months and it must contain the usual mix of alphabetical characters plus numbers and symbols. For a time you couldn’t use more than a few characters from your previous password.

My roommate couldn’t cope with all this and even if he changed his password he couldn’t remember what he had changed it to. Once he was off sick and hadn’t posted details for an assignment and students came in complaining to me. I sorted things out by lifting up his keyboard and finding the ‘post-it’ note with his password written down stuck underneath. I duly hacked into his account and posted the information needed.

yeah but trade barriers are their to control trading blocks. To stop say shoes from China flooding the market in the EU and damaging shoe manufacturers in Europe. Trade barriers don't tell companies how much they can invest in their own company or who they can hire.

But…. That’s not what happened. The Liverpool employee when he left City acquired someone else’s login details and used those - not his old City credentials. Demonstrates clear evidence of wanting to hack the system by using login details never issued to them and Liverpool FC were clearly comfortable accessing and using data that clearly wasn’t theirs.
As I understand it, the department was in the habit of sharing passwords. Just log on using your old colleague’s name and password. He has not changed it. Easy.

The principle is the same.

It’s not about protecting jobs, it’s about protecting or increasing profits at the expense of others.

As mentioned by others every dirty trick in the book, lobbying, increase in regulation or self regulating to make it difficult for competitors. The US spends $4.5b annually on lobbying.

In the German insurance market, they have got this off to a fine tee. If you want to launch a new product, you have to give full details to the trade body six months in advance. The details are duly posted to all members. Result: no new entrants from E.U.

That sounds about right……

I’ve seen it where you’ve navigated every detail, got approval to export into China but then gets rejected at customs. Get bought out by a Chinese company then it gets through.
 
one little thing i find weird is that passwords can go that long without being changed. thats naughty by rob newman imo but it may well have been commonplace at city back then

Just an assumption, but I am guessing there was a culture of sharing passwords for some reason. Which is a big no-no as well.

And I also suppose it's up to the organisation to make sure passwords are changed regularly, individuals can't really be held responsible for that if the organisation doesn't take it seriously.
