So people have got the new shirts with Big Mans number on their back and it might be changing? Presume the numbers can be easily changed with a slap of white paint for authenticity
Was there even a cancelled flight? Surely there would be a record of it? We'll probably have someone lined up, but in hindsight, lads on Twitter and Simon ****ing Pryde are hardly going to know before everyone else. (Reputable journalists)
Apparently Nick Barnes said at that on the whistle live tonight that he’d heard about a flight from Italy that was cancelled. Not sure he’s normally one to make stuff up.
If they can put a player left out of a game, together with a mention on a transfer forum ... ... then find a flight that matches, some people will believe them. As long as they get clicks they don't really care if it's plausible or not.
If I may jump on this. In the past I've genuinely had great information, be it behind the scenes, on the pitch, incoming players, outgoings etc. I've posted a few bits here and there and also kept stuff to myself or shared privately,some of which have changed that the last minute. What I can say now is the club is as tight as a submarines boot. Yes there's been leaked potential kits, photo shoots etc, but anything other than that, the club let's f**k all out anymore. 99.9 percent of the leaks have been plugged. The speculation is fun, then Brad busts everyone's bubble. The club is professional as they come and it seems anyone that's passed on information in the past know doesn't. Absolutely no harm in speculation, but it's as much as it is. Lads on here know who they are that got information, same lads that know its dried up now.
He's no worse or better than the hundreds of others, desperately trying to get 'likes' and donations ... ... just look at Adam Pearson who gave up his place at Bovine University to post endless drivel that he makes up.
yep and no harm speculating and enjoying the ride. Whilst also trusting the club is in good hands and will be doing everything it can to get it right
Some reputable journos do know about it (since this morning) but won’t report until they have a name/or the club say so. They’re being very guarded and journos are wary about biting the hands that feed them.
Tbf if Nick Barnes said it was raining outside I'd still go and check. None of the local journos get a sniff anymore
Spot on. I just wanted to put it out there that the information line has been cut of mate. As for the club, absolute professionals.
I remember you posting things that turned out to be 100% correct but, like me, you hear nothing these days. I'm happy with that ... ... less happy that ITK's resort to posting senseless gossip about Patterson, Enzo, Mundle, Isidor, etc. I expect if they can't post any real info they have to churn out drivel to keep their page going.
Keith is 100% getting fed stuff by the club now. This window he’s been about as accurate as it gets for Sunderland. It’s just often very late in the deal cycle. Absolutely nothing up til then
