im a journalist just doing my job 8-p
You’re not a journalist, though. You’re not representing a media organisation or even (cringe) a self-run ‘news’ blog.
You’re not qualified, your syntax is all over the gaff and you use weird emoticons.
Someone at the club is giving you information they shouldn’t be and you’re posting it on a fans’ forum. That’s great. Fans get the news a day or two early.
What’s not great is that this could one day lead to a deal falling through. It’s undermining the manager and it’s undermining the transfer policy of the club.

Worth thinking about.
Very much worth thinking about, I was given info years ago regarding a few things, I got bollockings for two of them and Steve Parkin was very unhappy with the third bit getting out as well. I reported on the old Rivals board about Dave Bayliss leaving for Luton Town before anyone but the chairman knew. I got a phone call asking to explain how I knew from the football club.
I also posted that we were about to appoint John Hollins as manager, three days before we did and I had David Kilpatrick asking people to find out how I knew.
The last one was Rickie Lambert joining from Stockport County and Steve Parkin was furious as the information getting out almost scuppered the deal.
I still get told stuff, I keep it to myself these days.
If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor

There are people who are involved in clubs/organisations who like to pass on info without ever questioning whether they should. For some it's the desire to be popular.
When it comes to football clubs that information is either official and should be available to everyone, or they shouldn't be telling anyone.
Anyway, how cold will it be on Friday night in Barnsley?

Surely someone will text you to let you know.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?
