This is what annoys me the most, that 3 million people are gullible enough to think a 28 year old brat who worked for 2 years at Sky Italia is somehow the most connected man in football.
There was another popular Italian 'journalist' on Twitter the other year, Tancredi, no?
People have to realise, in Italy and Spain, football gossip has been an industry in itself.
It's why we see a constant 'news' cycle out of Barca and Madrid, they have designated papers and outlets just to cover these clubs.
Same in Italy - they have to manufacture stuff simply to keep up with that demand - even when the season is over from a domestic point of view.
Romano is the very worst kind of reporter - he makes the story about himself because he needs to maintain his brand.
It's hard for a lot of the newspaper lads trying to compete with a 24-hour news cycle, which is why standards have dropped to the levels they have, certainly in terms of personality driven journalism.
It's a populist world, which results in large swathes of society wanting to attach themselves to someone or something.
