PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

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.

That simple was it?

The answers 'no' BTW.

And if our senior executives had not had injudicious email conversations.

Why 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.

I,personally, myself, love a bit of gratuitous affection especially on a Friday night

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."

True fact.

Ah that's why you were out with 'people' a couple of days ago then ;)

Yes, it's that simple.

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.

Still 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.

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.

True fact.

True facts are the best facts you can get.

For the PL maybe, but not for the red cartel controlling them!

Personally, I have no idea why people do that. It's annoying af.

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?

 

[Gingers Dad]

You’re absolutely right - in theory.

But the PL have clearly taken a partisan approach to this case from the start, abandoning any opportunity for neutrality to stridently side with the protectionist US-owned lobby within the Clubs it represents.

The PL has clearly taken a strategic decision that this is the bloc which will shape the future direction of the League, and their interests are best served by supporting their agenda.

No doubt aided by the circumstances of Masters’ recruitment, and the raft of rejections the League received from far better qualified candidates once the reality of the role was made clear to them.

Masters is the US lobby’s man, and is doing their bidding.

Our case, and the PL’s attitude towards it, has to be viewed in this context.

From what you're saying i don't think it's believed that the panel is actually independent?

Any news?
