It wouldn’t have surprised me if the system was sold on a “per user” basis and clubs just decided to save money by buying one licence to share between multiple users. I’ve seen plenty of businesses being cheapskates in this way.Is it not an offense to not report criminal activity?
The database concerned was an external supplied one which City paid to access I would imagine that City had no control over password protocol which was probably quite weak at the time. They may have even shared a common password to save logging in an out at the time, certainly not unusual in lots of organizations in the past
This is the absolute crux of the matter.Have Chelsea & PSG denied Liverpool, Arsenal & the Rags their rights to the champions league pot.
Every quid above the £80m revenue we used to earn in 2008 that we’ve earnt since they believe was theirs & it pisses them off.
This is the absolute crux of the matter.
The ‘history clubs’ feel denied and they won’t have it.
If we go back in history to the 63rd edition of the league (which was half the number of today) the most title wins were Arsenal (7) and then Sunderland (6) Rags, Dippers and Everton, all with 5
So the red shirts had 17 between them, about 27% of the titles available.
In the second half of the history of the league, from 1962/63, the Rags are on 15, Dippers on 14, Arsenal on 6 giving a total of 35 which is more than double the first half of football history.
Without City, they’d have won another 8 between them, which would have put them on 43. So, since 1962/63 they’d have won 69% of all top flight titles.
Even more starkly, since the introduction of the PL, without City, they’d have won 25 out of 32 or EIGHTY percent.
Leicester might have won it, but none of the usual suspects would have cared. Same with us, if we’d won in 2012 and maybe had another with Pep, there’d be no charges. Leicester weren’t guilty of turning the whole house of cards upside down, which is where we’ve ’made our mistake’.Leicester wouldn’t have won it if we hadn’t shaken the whole league up. The rags would have continued hoovering up players & winning.
Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers prove that you can get a once in a generation blip for Champions. Neither of those clubs were exactly “squeaky clean”. Leicester managed to get a free stadium by going into administration and leaving lots of local businesses in the mire. Jack Walker clearly wouldn’t have been able to invest in Blackburn under the current financial rules. Neither club gets called out though. The reason is it’s a generational blip as I said and neither club were ever going to threaten the top 4 on any meaningful, regular basis. So they get their hair ruffled and looked upon with a dewy eyed romanticism. The double standards make me puke.Leicester wouldn’t have won it if we hadn’t shaken the whole league up. The rags would have continued hoovering up players & winning.
So they filming the new Brassic ? I love that series, absolutely bloody love it .Very good film, there's a second one out this year, my mate drives actors to sets, he did that one. He's on the new series of Brassic starting today.
You're right about the analogy with the PL but Dave was so determined even though he had to raise £12m which originally was beyond him, shows what you can do.
Spot on!This is the absolute crux of the matter.

Danny MurphyYou missed Owen, Warnock, Face Jones, Sturridge, Henry, James, and probably a cast of thousands more
well i'll be a monkeys uncleIt's against best practices to change your passwords. What was missing from city by the sound of it was the implementation of 2FA and SSO
Yes mate, filming started today in Burnley, it's going to be a shorter series, filming is scheduled for 7 weeks. Michelle Keegan is in it but not as much as she's up the duff!So they filming the new Brassic ? I love that series, absolutely bloody love it .
