If youve got a track record fair enough you might get the odd thing wrong, but if you can't point to one single piece of info you've got right then expect to be called out. Who is it you mean who has NO track record whatsoever who is claiming to be ITK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 They get abused because once they have given information, some people then pretend to ITK themselves and amplify the information. If it goes wrong they transfer their shame into anger. I prefered the days when rumours were rumours and transfers came pretty much out the blue.

Alf Bentley Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Could I just say that I'm a KFA? A "Know Fvck All"? I don't know anybody at the club or in football generally. If I express an opinion about a potential transfer, it will be groundless rumours and speculative bollocks. Through my work, in the past I've picked up a few nuggets of scandalous info about players at other clubs: a former French international being investigated for alleged tax dodging, a Chilean international disciplined in amusing circumstances, and another former French international with a very strange loan contract (the English club would have had to pay millions to terminate the loan and send him home early - his French club must have been seriously skint or have really hated him!). But I couldn't possibly reveal those stories. Not because of any ethical considerations, you understand, but purely because I'd want something out of it. Some time when I'm back on the booze, you can buy me 10 pints and I'll spill the beans. Until then, yes, I have the power of exclusive knowledge! I'm ITK - about past players at other clubs!

I walked straight into that one !! I remember when I first came on here and had a bit of insider knowledge on one of the players and thought I would share it ... big mistake ... the abuse came thick and fast ! At the time I wasn't bothered at all as I'm too big old and ugly and it was water off a ducks back ... but tbf it was really just gossip (even though it was true) and I should have just kept it buttoned. I love to hear news from people about potential signings and developments though and don't want to stop people doing that (so I can sit in the pub and sound like I know what I'm talking about ! ) ... after a while you get to know who might actually know what they are talking about and those that just bvllsh1t ... and as Babs said .. if they do bvllsh1t then they will get abuse .. and quite rightly so ! But to all you ITK's ... keep it coming ! If others don't want to read or believe what they say .. just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiffToff88 Posted 16 December 2016 Share Posted 16 December 2016 The other half of a friend of mine is pretty high up in the club, she works in the Concourse in the away end selling tea and coffee. The rumours she hears there are highly reliable! I reckon that puts me in the know. As recently as the last game she heard that Ranieri is getting sacked and replaced by Gerry Taggart, Jamie Vardy is being watched by scouts from Benidorm FC, and the tea is shit!

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 16 December 2016 Share Posted 16 December 2016 ITKs come and go don't they. People know people close to the club and get some 3rd hand info, pass it on or don't. Then those sources leave the club and people go back to being just regular schmucks again. It's not a new thing, we shouldn't have a go at 'ITKs' sharing information but equally 'ITKs' shouldn't get rattled when they're left out in the cold and their time of being the proverbial fountain of knowledge comes to an end.

Is it jealousy? because it might not be accurate? Well ignore it! Quite frankly anyone who starts throwing insults at someone who has supplied information just makes them self look silly, no one else. If you think they are wrong, say so. but to resort to insults? Thats just childish. People lose their shit when it turns out to be slightly wrong. For some reason, some people tend to treat this area of the forum as the best place to find out who we are signing. They don't seem to quite grasp things are made official when they are done for a reason. It is a shame what info we do get given always gets rammed back down the posters throat, We are all capable of making up our own minds on how true we think any unofficial material is, to be honest if you take it as gospel you're the problem not the "ITK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
