OK thread re-opened so you lot can tell us what ****s we are :(

How about a daily update of anything interesting that springs up in the thread, maybe updated a couple of times a day? There was a brilliant bloke on here before who used to do that...think his name began with s....i'm sure he could be persuaded again...

I understand where the mods are coming from, I really do. Everybody is well aware of the quality of information that JJ is providing. Anything he says is scrutinised to the extreme, and his opinion can therefore be totally misconstrued as well.

It's still odd how JJ hasn't named the manager. While I expect it to be AVB, I'm wondering if we all might be shocked when the news breaks...

We were also a bit concerned that JJ would be badgered into giving something away that might endanger his source. Levy isn't silly and nor are the club. We know they keep a beady eye on the forums and as we all know JJ is accurate so i'm as certain as one can be that eventually it would go tits up for him.

Just on this point, are we sure that JJ hasn't been posting snippets with the club's blessing? Dragon1 and BEN have certainly been employed in this way in the past, if not by the club, by a faction within the club.

Maybe there could be a separate thread only visible to those with 1000+ posts and over ? Harsh, and I'm aware I'm not even there yet !, but it would mean that there was a streamlined, private-ish thread where JJ's info could go into, he could get a bit of chat with the regulars, and then the info could be shared to others in a different way ? Keep an eye on new members trying to up their post counts with short junk posts, and that would stop journos being able to access the thread etc.

Dunno, just thinking aloud, apologies A&C !

52 pages, eh? Hands up who's booked a trip to 'Visit Manchester' today?! :)

Didn't think so.

Better than Granny Dating I guess, although if you're Wayne Rooney they're sort of one and the same...

JJ has posted: new manager tomorrow. Maybe we could discuss that? I was concerned that all this squawking like a load of birds a Beatles concert was going to drive him away one way or another. It seems it has.

Nah... all the love will make him want to stay. Just probably with a facelift, gender reassignment and botox. To be fair to JJ it is now after midnight and some of us have jobs we pretend to do while pressing refresh.

Its not just about that though. Its about controlling the reaction of a thousand muppets on here (me included :))

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this was not it. :( However, I've had a lot of great entertainment from JJ, A&C, TSH and everyone else. I'm certainly not going to hold that against anyone! :)

Have to say, i think its a shame, other sites like COYS have people like potl who is an asset to the site. JJ posting did make things crazy but thats part of the fun. to have possibly the best placed ITK posting on this site was great for everyone who uses this site.

he didnt like using the goat as he helt he was missing out so i dont see why he would post his info to the ro? surely he will still be missing out?

and as for people getting confused or jj maybe getting into trouble or hounded, surely that is something they should just be left to get on with? if JJ wants to risk it then surely its his choice? he knows he will get hounded so surely his choice if he wants to post? and who is to say he isnt fed his info to leak to us? who knows

we all know a big part of transfer windows here is waiting for itk, wether your a sceptic or not, and JJ is the one most people wait for.

could jj not have his own thread? like the goats? can post any info he has and answer any questions he chooses too?

anyway not having a go so apologies if it comes across like that, this is the best run spurs site going, and has been for a long time

Maybe JJ should have two accounts; JJKnows & JJthinks... So when someone asks a question he can reply as an itk or just a Personal opinion.

Has JJ expressed concern at what his shared information might cause? Surely if the club read these forums then they would have killed him by now?

What about journos that have over 1000 posts?

Roger Morgan has at SO, JTG and Pablo have at COYS, Greg Stobart is a Spurs fan so bet he has thousands, wouldnt work

I truly hope JJ continues to post in the RO, his info made this site an invaluable tool for any Tottenham supporter. Akqayid, Ryan (before Redknapp left), and JJ are the only ITKs I take serious notice of. Though I do respect and understand why A&C and Rob have come to this decision - I can't help but feel a bit gutted!!!

Balls to that... I've been on here for 8 bloody years and still nowhere near half that. How some people find the time... bloody RSI victims... I'd have to wait until 2020 at current rates!
