Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

[kalouk]

Just curious .....

Der Spiegel are obviously benefiting financially from the articles they’re writing which are based on stolen material they’ve been provided with, obviously if you or me were to handle stolen goods for personal gain we’d face consequences.

Is there no such corporate equivalent ? Or Is it ok to use illegally gained material if it’s deemed to be in the ‘public interest’ ?

I don't know if it's the same but I'm sure I read that Wikileaks can publish the things they do as long as they are given and they had no part in obtaining them and didn't ask anyone to obtain them. I could be wrong though.

Do we have the good old fashioned letter on Arsenal letter head asking for help in nailing City.

Surely that’s worse than all this.

so what we have been 'alleged' to have done is a more heinous crime than bribing match officials? Not surprising coming from someone with the moral compass of that c**t

You can invest in referees just not the team you own

Looks like the Speigel are after Zenit St Petersburg as well. UEFA implicated again.

Football Leaks: Gazprom Germany paid zenit st. Petersburg, 29 million euros for rogue sponsorship. UEFA was only half-assed.

In for a penny in for a billion , Sheik mansour should bung in another £500m and we should buy Kane,Mbappe and Jorginho , and pay them all £300k a week , we are becoming a club that everyone loves to hate , it comes with success , let the haters hate at least it will take their minds off the shortcomings of their own 'istree football clubs

I’d really like a long strong statement from the club about all this so we’re all a little wiser about what happened and why it’s not actually a scandal (city failed to meet specifically anti-city rules, shock).
But it’s a stand-off. By the sounds of it, we can only truly explain by also bring uefa into it. But its not in our interests to do so. They also can’t admit to being soft on their own rules irrespective of their legality as they will lose all credibility.
No one will blink until they are backed so far into a corner that they have no option.
Be intriguing to see what else DS has as its generally dripped out. If there is anything big lurking in there then this may be the result. But you’d think you’d start with you’re best story to grab the headlines so hopefully the worst is out.
If so, give it a few months and a few more bumps and no one will be talking about this anymore.
No business is squeaky clean, even the football club you support

I’m not sure either, WikiLeaks is a non-profit organisation.

Der Spiegel’s clicks and advertising revenues will have shot up over the past few days meaning more €€€€ for them.
Surely this encourages other ‘news’ outlets to ‘employ’ (ironically off the books of course) hackers to commit crime and steal information for them to generate revenue ?

It doesn’t change what’s been found in our case of course but just interested what legal corporate questions Der Spiegel might have to answer for using stolen information, probably none !

I would love to see these tabloids taken to the cleaners. I’m sure the legal team are compiling the evidence.
Absolute cnuts.

This is what I thought when you think of the news of the world hacking scandal.

So did the hacker just target City & why

If not your not telling me there are no emails from other clubs which would blow this out of water.

I would imagine every club you’d see Highly confidential emails when negotiating deals.

Maybe they're just better at encrypting their emails than we are.
