To be a ITK…
If you genuinely where in the inner circle and knew something would you be bothered posting on BM, would you tell others and risk not being in the inner circle.
Now it’s clear the club and people at the club leak stuff to journalists at times and Fabrizo etc. but this is more tactical.
So that brings us down to people who have connections and may hear something, this means there is already one step if not two or three from the source.
This bring down the quality and reliability of the information. However, it could be right, it could be wrong (even though it has been passed on in good faith).
Does this person post it on the forum, they don’t have much too lose and appreciate fellow blues wanting to know.
Tolmie has created a reputation of knowing things as he has been first/ right on things. He has also been wrong or situations have changed.
But in general expecting Tolmie to be right all the time is only going to disappoint.
For me, I saw the elbow video and probably did check the internet more to see if anything did get announced, as it was plausible to me he had heard something.
But I didn’t expect or indeed surprised he didn’t, it dropping would have been more of a surprise.
So anyone getting upset needs to give their head a wobble, the same as if took legal advice for on a forum and where upset when it doesn’t hold up.
It will drop one day, but could be a couple of months yet.
Shame the football can’t keep us interested in the meantime.
