I understand that UEFA not only didn't have possession of the emails but didn't even have sight of them. They just regurgitated the bullshit published by Der Spiegel.

really is that what happened?

That's what I heard on the grapevine. Maybe @tolmie's hairdoo or @Prestwich_Blue will be able to confirm or deny this.

From memory, Der Spiegel refused to give access to the stolen emails/data or the multiple hard drives they were stored on.

I feel a song coming on :
"Bored in the USA ..."

To the tune of.........?

It's a bit more complex as the original tweet is from someone who focuses on the care sector, and is more concerned that it's pretty much a foreign govt seeing children's homes as a money spinner. Lots of his posts are about private care, and he also points out that one of the people who (at least I think he's saying this) made most money from the Italian sale was a big Tory donor - so aiming at them too.

Entirely legitimate concerns in my opinion.

The guy making the link to Erling Haaland and City writes about human rights issues in the Middle East, and is essentially click-baiting by trying to link the two (and the link is there as Khaldoon Al Mubarak is CEO of the fund that bought the company). He's worked for Human Rights watch and his focus on the area doesn't appear to be the same kind of convenient interest that a lot of Liverpool supporting journalists seem to have recently discovered (although the red team do appear to have been given a free pass for playing in Qatar because they asked him for advice first!). Whether you think trying to link genuine concerns with Man City to raise their profile is valid, is a different argument.

Just wait until they discover orphans are having their sweets and spending money confiscated to get around ffp and pay for the next big City signing.

Correct. From what I recall being told, City were shocked to learn Uefa just had copies of the articles.

But it will equate as sales massively increase on Dipperside because of every media outlet blowing smoke up their arses

They won't buy the sun and I am going to guess that the sun will be the NE's favourite paper lol, of course, it could be the Mirror?

And they will continue to do so whilst they have their glove puppet Richard Masters at the helm of the PL.

Is the owner Costas Plenty?

Does anyone still buy newspapers? Each region had its own edition now it is all national.

The problem with online editions is not just the clicks but the propensity for manipulating interest. Were not Liverpool exposed as using click manipulators?
