PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gazza]

Let’s be honest. If City wanted to take the Scouse hacking further, they could have. City decided to settle out of court with a pay off. We’ll never know the reason why. The PL were happy with that. City could have absolutely slaughtered Henry and Liverpool in court. But City decided not to do that. Yet all along Henry and Liverpool have been behind the constant and under handed smear campaign and attacks against City. Very strange decision by City.

TBF John Henry does have a history of cheating;-

Red Sox aren’t only John Henry-owned team with a scandal; Liverpool has a 'hacking' incident

There's now another cheating scandal for a John Henry-owned team.

Mistake or not, what the 2 ex City staff members did was known about by LFC and no action was taken against the 2 ex City staff members by LFC. People can come to their own minds about the way LFC acted.

Sporting director Michael Edwards and two former City employees, Julian Ward and Dave Fallows, were named in the subsequent settlement.

Why we didn't go after the Scouse cunts I will never understand

As far as I know the 'hack' was just City not removing the permissions for old employees. They logged in using their old credentials from when they were employed by City. This is a pretty embarrassing security oversight by us imo and probably why we were happy to settle for a low amount. If they had hired some shady hacker to access our database then I'm sure we would have taken it further.

My understanding is that they used the credentials of an existing employee. It's also possible that City were negligent in some way. But it shouldn't matter, as the old employees committed a criminal offence, whatever credentials they used.

I thought the reason we didn't go further with Liverpool was we would be equally to blame as we had obligations to keep data safe under whichever Act covers it. I might be wrong but I'm sure it was explained fully on here why we didn't and it was along those lines.

Julian Ward has taken a position with Fenway Sports Group as technical director. This year.

Two of them were later promoted by LFC which says a lot about the ethics at that club.

Lord Pannick KC who’s leading the City group in representing Manchester City vs the Premier League was pictured smiling outside the International Dispute Resolution Centre earlier YESTERDAY when he came out of court.

Does that smile make you think we are about to lose the biggest case in sports history? No because we have the best representing us.

and we simply aint guilty

That simply doesn't make sense. City Liverpool and a couple of London clubs could all make a similar amount from a pre season tour and yet, according to you, they all, for some unknown reason under declared. Why would they do that?

Not according to me, according to the financial expert mate.

Apparently a GDPR issue or so it was said on here. What is probably correct to say, obviously in hindsight, City should have gone to the courts back at the beginning of all this. This would have given greater clarity and possibly defined what the PL and indeed the international bodies are allowed to do.

Not a question of whether they liked the rules they signed up to or not. We signed up to a rule that required us to register a manager's contract, which had various statutory clauses in it. Presumably we did just that, in order to comply.

Yet we're being charged with something that someone has decided broke those rules, even though the rules didn't say anything about the things we've been charged with when we first got into Europe under Mancini in 2010/11.

Shouldn’t have any dramas getting that part fucked off then should we?.

That’s life mate.

You as an individual are bound by every law in the land. You have no choice. Break them and off you pop to spend some time at HMP.

Whether you like it or not or agree with it or not.

Same for City and this. Either sign up and abide by the rules or fuck off. We signed up.

Not if you're Huw Edwards
