Ed's

Any info on the rumour that we may be accused of hacking into City's scouting database?

Seen it thrown up as one of the "stones" they won't leave unturned in trying to get their ban reduced/ annulled.

{Ed001's Note - this has been dealt with ages ago. It is not a rumour, and it has been explained in full that we paid them off.}

Was a confidentiality agreement not signed by both sides as well ed?

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I can't remember, it is old news.}

Assume City think throwing mud everywhere will take a bit of heat off them
Didn’t realise been settled.

{Ed001's Note - it's not really settled as such. We just paid them hush money in effect. Unless something has changed, we didn't even sack the guilty parties when it was a clear sackable offence. I am very disappointed with the club in regards to this matter. It is extremely serious and a criminal matter, even if it was down to lax IT security on City's part. What happened is theft and immediate dismissal should have been the result. We, as a club, should be better than this and stand for something good.}

Spot on, Ed. City may not have made a fuss about it at the time BUT those LFC employees who were in on this stuff should have been sacked and prolly should have been referred forw prosecution. Hacking is a crime punishable by fines and jail time. We should never have kept them at the club.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester City were very upset at the time but Liverpool made a significant payment from the slush fund to end the matter. The PL and FA discussed it recently and Manchester City did Liverpool a favour by saying the matter was well in the par and closed from their perspective.}

Let's say an investigation had found us guilty and we faced a charge from the FA, any idea what type of punishment that kind of breach would possibly bring? Has there been previous cases of a similar type of misconduct from other clubs in the past?

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea and I am not aware of any similar cases in the past.}
