Just as a reminder, the rules still apply in here but we've given up making a big deal about shouting at you when they're broken. Anyone breaking them is just being quietly removed. You've been warned!

Also, stop asking me why you've been banned!

Conflicting ITK
Blaino says it's off, but Hercules says we've been guided by the government all the way through the deal, so they're hardly likely to give us positive signs then say no. For all the work that has gone into this, I struggle to see we would've done that on a 50/50 chance. Surely we'd have sounded out the chances prior to committing.

Just sit tight till we hear something official eh.
I can see your logic, GSO. I just hope it's not the same 'government' that gave us advice on the Olympic Stadium bid.

A rule of thumb is that if they're on twitter, with an open profile spouting ITK, they aren't ITK. They're either plagiarising a forum member or they're just full of shit.

They do it in the hope that they'll get enough followers to monetise the account.

NOT FOR THE RO as too many eyes about...
What if the club is going after players that haven't even been mentioned anywhere on here or the press and don't even have player threads?
Its a shame as no excitement for you but you are not close to who we are after and the names being mentioned aren't in the reckoning apart from potentially SA & RB ....
Just catching up with the thread now. Thanks for some reality JJ I was getting rather confused reading comments about things we have little clue about. Will keep remaining hopeful that the leadership who have taken the club forward incrementally over the last few years will continue to do so

Did we find out if this guy is ITK? I haven't trawled through it all.
He's good for things like our lineup half an hour before officially announced as he works on the football coverage for I believe BT Sports. He does get info but it's from former players and commentators. It does not originate from our inner sanctum, I believe. I'd rather go with the top itk's on here.

The JJ ITK is arguably more exciting than he believes. By the time a new player usually holds up a shirt for us we've debated them to death in the player threads, doubted we'd be able to sign them... think it's nailed on... then we've lost them to another team... then it's back on... ad finitum

This ITK almost suggests a return to the Teletext days. Boom - SPURS COMPLETE SIGNING OF EUROPEAN STAR pg 303

On this same note - an account called 'ITKhercules' was opened today on twitter using the same profile pic as @Hercules on here. Is it actually you or another fake?

Bearing in mind Hercules doesn't even want his info put on the Read Only it definitely won't be real. Pathetic and out of order.

The whole "not for RO" thing is a bit daft.
If you publish info on here it's in the public domain.
Any interested party will see it.
Send it through the goat if it's so sensitive
but then you don't get the glory...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's my take on it as well but if it's a case of either letting the ITKs post how they're comfortable or they don't post at all then we don't have much choice in it :)

Not really as the RO provides a one stop shop for ITK and saves trawling through pages and pages of utter bollocks most of the time

Rob's right. Posting here puts it out for public consumption. But if an ITK feels more comfortable knowing that the info won't automatically be thrown on to Twitter and instead will require people to actually read the thread, that's his/her prerogative. I am grateful for the information that we have been provided, and look forward to more as the window closes.
