yes.
Thought so.
I don't think they owned the NYT - I thought it was a minority holding (10%?) around 8-10 years ago. Happy to be corrected on that.
yes.
Yes I think they own or owned the Boston Globe and had a stake in the New York Times at one stage.Thought so.

Ive bern over this a few times. Tariq Panja is the NYTT journalist breaking these "stories". Panja started his journalist career at the Manchester Evening News, where he developed David Gill as a source I believe. Leaks are coming from a senior figure at UEFA and Leterme is quite insistent that they aren't coming from him or any other member of the CFCB. David Gill is not part of the CFCB so Leterme is technically correct that, if Gill is the one providing Panjs with information, the leaks aren't coming from that source.
Inadvertently therefore, by telling the truth, Leterme has made it quite clear who the potential source is.

Without knowing the inner workings of UEFA it's difficult to say. Gill is UEFA Treasurer so may routinely have access to this sort of information or may have got it from someone involved in the investigation.That does open up another question though ? If Gill isn’t on the panel - where’s he getting his information from? UEFA don’t look very competent or professional however you look at this.
I notice the BBC have now changed the story. They are a total embarrassment for a national broadcaster.
It's an interesting link because Cosmos were shafted in their attempts to join the MLS when CFG started New York City FC. There has been a major row for years over NYCFC's attempt to get a new stadium (just resolved in recent weeks). There is no love lost between the clubs.Just checked Parry certainly was on the Board of the Cosmos - not sure if he still is.
I am sure the leaks were probably indirect. Someone on the investigating committee spoke to someone high up at one of our commercial rivals and they spoke to someone down their food chain (probably in their Comms team) who passed it on to the New York Times and the Times. No footprints will be left anywhere.
