I guess the obvious follow up question is: "did any of the people giving you information have a vested interest or some connection to people who might have reason to hold a grudge against the current regime?" Or would you describe your source(s) as 100% neutral observers?
Not sure if you can answer that one without giving away too much of a clue as to who your source(s) are? No worries if that's the case.
Anyway, as you say, we're all Saints fans at the end of the day so onwards and upwards! *****il the next 'meltdown')
