Dippers, they got it in their blood and they have employed four of our former scouts. Hubb Caps.

If its United the title for last season will go the the team who finished in second place.

I sincerely doubt it. For a start, it didn't happen last season, it happened in the last few days/weeks. Secondly, the punishment would almost certainly not relate to last season but to the coming one. Thirdly there's no way the penalty would be that harsh. They might make a punitive fine and the employee involved would surely be banned from football, but I just can't see any points deductions or similar coming from this, in last season or this.

I wish it were different and the FA would come down on them like a ton of bricks, and I don't think it's part of The Great Agenda (TM) but I just think that football authorities have a tendency to under-punish just about everything except match-fixing. And even then they sometimes under-punish match-fixing.

I tend to agree, however as this is theft it is also a criminal matter, so the police will be involved at some point

If a club is found guilty, and if it involves the recruitment of youngsters from Europe, using stolen information from our database, then UEFA will want to get a punishment in surley. 5 year ban from all UEFA competitions sounds like a good 'un to me.

Oh look, RAWK starting to get twitchy http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=274792.msg11742132#msg11742132

Rumours are it really is Nited

The club concerned will squeal like a pig because they might have been working with others? The information might have been used to help in a buddy buddy situation, this could go all the way to the corridors of football power, we have already seen a collusion wrote in arsenal headed paper which for me was one of the most disgusting manipulation of the footballing rules, hacking is nothing new the hacking of on digital codes was traced all the way back to Israel, this is very serious but sky will make light of this as city paranoia, if city play this right it will become a domino factor.

My guess is that this is liverpool. They recently took a few scouts from us and it sounds to me like it wasn't a case of hacking and more a case of former employees using their old account details to log in and look at what were up to.
