dubai_phil Posted 25 January, 2009 Share Posted 25 January, 2009 It's quite simple, we all grew up... If you look back everyone posted everything they heard every day. There were often 1,000 posters on line so who could say where a leak came from. Nowadays there are 150 ish on here regularly and 30 or 40 get snippets. So if one of them post, they actually stand out. If they heard something from a friend or a business contact, it makes it much easier for somebody to trace that leak - so bingo posting here just gets people into trouble Also, the ITK'ers with their "we know more than you do so we are uber fans" attitude means that people just get attacked demands for their source etc, so why bother. often it can be only a rumour or something heard 3rd hand or even just deduced by logic and yet abuse flows... What I think you do now see are little snippets posted into threads, there were a few in the "Meeting at Staplewood" thread, and there was also some good analysis of what may be going on. The problem is as I commented elsewhere our "automatic Lowe is insane" filter often means we miss a post that hasn't been a complaint. The days of leaks and scoops on here are long gone, even FF being told to leak about Crouch being at SMS just led to another set of "rants" as to what shareholders should do interspersed with some good debate, rather than ask... Hmm Why would that be leaked and by who So even IF we got a scoop on here, we probably wouldn't notice it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 25 January, 2009 Share Posted 25 January, 2009 I know the russians have got billions from the RBS in loans and have no intention of paying it back. The RBS has cost me thousands due to the mis-management of my retirement savings investments. maybe i can ask the ruskies if they will invest some of the money they have indirectly taken from me in Saints instead. I blame abromavich for the plight of saints and other teams in the championship. There must be some russian tycoon out there who would like to invest in us. just think we could throw in fawley as a potental carrot for their future investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milkybarkid Posted 25 January, 2009 Share Posted 25 January, 2009 What worries me is this. I used to get loads of transfer rumours from a mate who's a local journalist. Some true, many not as it turned out. Had a drink with him just before Xmas about possible signings and he honestly didn't have a clue if we'd sign anyone in January. Not a clue. He even said he'd not been party to any office speculation after interviews with JP or his coaching team, and none of the other journos were any the wiser. One even told me that he'd been at a press conference with MW and Wilde had been asked about possible targets for January and had said "We haven't made our minds up yet" and this was in mid-December!! One reason he gave is that we desperately need players off the pay-roll before we can sign more. He hinted that some players knew they were going to be sold this month and are just waiting for clubs to come in for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Bob Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 The reason people no longer post rumours or gossip on here is the fear of being torn to shreds. Some people are so cynical about the whole 'ITK thing' that they'll shoot fellow posters down in flames for even suggesting they may have a piece of insider info. Even if the rumour comes from a solid source there's so much in-fighting and outright nastiness from certain posters that reputations will no longer be risked. I know people that still get occasional *good* gossip from the inside but would never risk putting it in writing on here for fear of being shot down in flames by the usual suspects. That's a real shame and a damning indictment of how certain people have allowed their 'puffed up' internet egos to ruin this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
