The Mole / Team Leaks

typicalcity... said:
The lineups are given to the media, referees about 20 minutes before they’re released, around the same time this guy tweets. (Yes they give the teamsheets to the media)

Each premier league team has a premier league official assigned to each home game, he usually works in the dressing room/tunnel area. He liaises between the two teams, officials and media. Team sheets are hand written on a 5 part sheet, a representative of each team (usually Brian Kidd in City's case) goes to the referees room 75 minutes before kick off, the referee checks the sheet for player numbers, staff on the bench and strip colours, he keeps a copy of each teams sheet, each team gets a copy of the other teams sheet, a club official gets a copy to prepare team sheets for written media and sponsors, the premier league official has the other two parts, one for the league files and one for the match day broadcast media. If SKY or BT are broadcasting the game live, they get the team sheet a few minutes before the rest of the media so they can announce the teams before anyone else.

Some of the times this guy is announcing team news is before the ref, premier league or broadcast media have the sheet, so it must be coming from someone in the dressing room who is around when the players get to know the line up, be it at the training session before, at the hotel before leaving for the ground, or in the dressing room.

Maybe it's actually a cunning plan by Pep, as cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University. Build up a track record for this guy so that for an important game where he intends to do something different, deliberately leak the wrong lineup. By the time the opposition see the real lineup it is too late.
Since the journo is spanish maybe the plan is aimed at barca or real if we meet them

Did anyone see those two guys with a microphone/cam before the coach arrived. (Had an AN mic - not sure what channel they are) - they knew Bravo was in net and the team hadn't even got off the coach??
