So just to be clear: we have established that there are many cases where gossip is hard to contain, including in my original examples, and including when a footballer is being signed? And that the role of journalists, which is what I study and I'm an expert in, is to report on those noises?When the project involves a development process using designers and large scale implementation teams then there’s obviously a limit to what can be contained but that’s not the case when there’s a decision to be made by a handful of professionals regards buying a company or, in the case of football, buying a player.
Look, with respect, I can see that you’re a shrewd bloke, obviously spent a lot of time in the upper eschewing of business, so I’ll offer you a 10% discount on those magic beans I have and throw in a unicorn for good measure.
No, mate, the only people that know about football transfers are the player and the club, and it would be DEEPLY unprofessional for anyone to ever speak to the press. He works as a commercial director, don't you know, no one talked about anything and nothing got past him.Absolute horseshit, bud. By your premise, journalists would never get a story.
Contacts are developed over many years, usually when people were still working up the ladder.
Aside from legal documents, steers, briefs or leaks happen in every facet of everyday society.
My cousin runs a hedge fund and secured £400m in the Emirates last month, he knows what he tells me is of interest for me, won't piss on his own chips.
I knew the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester had been dead ten hours before it was announced, simply because of the huge chain of departments across the Force.
Worsley Web on here will share commercially sensitive info re City stadium plans because he works in the industry.

No we are not.

This is it, in a nutshell. Equally, whoever you are and whoever you know, until the ink has dried on the contract, nothing is ever really certain, no matter what people like to believe.If people are realistic, the industry of transfer news is fairly unreliable because there simply isn't enough news to satisfy the audience demand. Which is why you get the pantomime nonsense which you see across all media outlets.
You’re talking about a “huge chain of departments across the force” therefore lots of people involved which isn’t comparable to say a company take over etc. Apples vs oranges.
But being as ‘your cousin’ ;-) runs a hedge fund and doesn’t have the wherewithal to not brag about his massive deals, I’ll offer you a 15% discount on the magic beans and 2 unicorns.
But you can keep your horseshit because that’s all it is.
