Sack Sky and donate to GOT...donations are needed
Its long time since I posted a thread on here but one news story covered in the Times has been basically ignored by the other media including Sky, Sun, Express and local press and media outlets. The upshot of what has been alleged amounts to a criminal offense, lack of coverage needs rectifying and some very serious questions asked of our neighbours.

TheTimes claims that Manchester City has been paid £1,000,000 compensation for the hacking of their computer system covering the junior team and youth sides. They identify the culprits as LFC who when asked replied they do not discuss such things. This apparent cover-up begs the question of how many other clubs have had this type of intrusion without being aware, as it seems improbable that just one club has been hacked. The FA seem happy with this compensation deal thus making them complicit in this illegal practice. Were the police involved, if not why not? Surely theft of this description is against the law and the miscreants brought to book.

Any of you Blues have any insight or information about this?

Do we need other evidence about preferential treatment shown to those who simply do not deserve it,

Compare this with the 'relatively' minor situation of 'spygate' that Leeds United were involved in. Football authorities and media all over it. Deliberately hacking into computers is far more serious but, of course, its Liverpool FC so brush it under the carpet. Like the slap on the wrist they got over the disgraceful attack on the Man City team bus. Plus hefty police presence but no arrests made.
