There was an interview with Masters a few weeks back where he was defending the dippers spending.
Very fishy

and both will claim victory unless it’s extremely clear cut one way or another.I am not surprised by NvW's post. It is broadly consistent with what I have heard. Neither party had the result as of recently and both were confident of prevailing.

Just to make the point that never gets mentioned again:
None of this would have ever ever happened if our Head of IT was doing his job properly.
True fact.

I,personally, myself, love a bit of gratuitous affection especially on a Friday nightWhy do people persist in writing 'Personally, I...'? It's a gratuitous affectation. If you have something to say, be precise, and 'I' is sufficient here.

And when all is said and done, I want to see Pep on the pitch with our head of IT in a deep embrace with Pep explaining data and password protection, arms round his shoulders pausing only momentarily to clap the fans. "We are so happy. So so happy with our IT guy."

The answer is yes! This case, and the one with UEFA before it, were built on hacked emails that gave the impression we were hiding direct investment from the owner. Without those emails there would be no case. Our accounts were audited and accepted.
EditedStill a mystery to me as to why the red shirt cartel would want to prevail. They suspected one of their competitors was not abiding by the rules and started an investigation. They then farmed it out to an independent panel to make a judgement.
I would have thought that the panel coming back with a decision there was no wrong doing on City's part, would be a far from satisfactory conclusion for the red shirt cartel.

I think that's slightly unfair. The fault ultimately lies with whoever opened the phishing email with the malicious code. But there is an argument that a well-protected system shouldn't let malicious code run.Just to make the point that never gets mentioned again:

Staff should be trained about phishing and more importantly, phishing/viruses/whatever should not be coming in at all. Other businesses manage it - although I do accept that some don't. The consequences here have been absolutely catastrophic for City. Ultimately, and I appreciate it's nuanced, but City fucked up royally.I think that's slightly unfair.

True facts are the best facts you can get.True fact.

For the PL maybe, but not for the red cartel controlling them!I would have thought that the panel coming back with a decision there was no wrong doing on City's part, would be a much more satisfactory conclusion for the PL.

Only this. One of the worst balls-ups under the current owners. Not the only one, btw.

But then should our head of communications not done their job properly regarding how and what people email?
