PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

eastmanc said:
It was independent in the Apt case and the Leicester case. These people are respected and professional KC's to be biased in the case against City is more than their collective reputions are worth.

To add to that, they know that their decision is going to be picked over in fine detail by a lot of highly paid lawyers from both sides (plus a lot of armchair lawyers...) so they also know that if it isn't absolutely watertight and shows the slightest trace of bias or lack of diligence it will reflect badly on them. Reputation is everything in their business.

Surprised that even this aspect, the panel, has been 100% watertight.
Using as much AI probing and guesswork, the 'machines' think these 3 are the most likely to be the panel, with Teare doubling up 115 with APT.

David Phillips KC (Chair)
Kate Gallafent KC (Panel Member)
Sir Nigel Teare (Panel Member, with Beloff or Dyson as alternatives)

At least the Chair should be decent...

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.

We were trained at our place, it didn't stop one of the high ups at our company clicking on a link in an email from a client that looked genuine, advising of a change in banking details. It caused mayhem for awhile and they still get constant emails to everyone as all email accounts names were taken. Most got directed to spam or deleted before we saw them but 1 or 2 always got through.

Just yesterday I got an email from Renault about their 3rd party hack which saw "customer names, addresses, dates of birth, gender, phone numbers, vehicle identification numbers and vehicle registration details" all taken. You must have seen all of the recent cyber attacks on everything from airports to kiddies nurseries.

Its not intended to level out the playing field and if anything else widens the gap. Newcastle revenue for last season was less than half of what the rags have reported & with the amended APT rules handicapping them, how are they meant to close that gap.

Although a lot of these rules wouldn't be in place if Sheikh Mansour hadn't invested in us, we are in the right place at the right time.

Yes we got in before the cartel slammed the door shut but the media and opposing fans are blind to what is actually happening and which clubs are being protected !

The media aren't blind, they're fully complicit.

The biggest, wealthiest football league in the world could not appoint a CEO, despite numerous offers of the job. Then, Masters is appointed AFTER being interviewed/vetted by 2 of the founders of the PL, who would later be the prime movers in getting a European Super League set up.

Proper old school journalists would be creaming themselves as to what they could put on to those bare bones and it would have been a story that could well have serious ramifications. Instead, we got absolutely nothing save for 90% of those same journalists, almost simultaneously, banging on about 'sports-washing' and 'what about City?' Sadly that narrative is still all they have got and the actual huge story is swept under the carpet.

The thing that really pisses me off is that we’ll get blamed for killling football when This is all the red cunts fault.

It’s no surprise that PSR is suddenly not fit for purpose when Liverpool spend a fuck tonne at once along with arsenal spending loads. But let’s not forget this year united are on course to completely and utterly miserably fail PSR and can’t get any exemptions like they did with covid.

If there was any integrity left in the media they’d be exploring this mole hole instead of plugging their ears and blaming us.

What a bunch of fuckers.

Not really.

For a start this is ten years ago and more. Were people trained to spot phishing attempts back then? People still email sensitive data today, in companies and industries that should know better, using non-encrypted and non-protected methods.

UAE’s ambassador to the United States was hacked a couple of years ago, he used hotmail.

I have noticed that after I have had a hospital appointment, I always get quite a few phishing e-mails. I'm pretty sure this is no coincidence.

Murray Rosen KC is a distinguished sports arbitrator. I think City withdrew their original objection to him or at least were pacified and persuaded of his fair approach. He chose the panel but I don’t think he sat on it.

I wonder if Pannick enjoyed presenting his argument as to why the club objected to an Arsenal season ticket holder KC being involved in this case ..... I am still dubious that actually happened. Or at I think it was probably badly expressed in the press?
