So it's chaos in the ITK world

Not really. A firmly established ITK with a strong track record dismisses info from an anonymous source.

 

[phieffect]

That's true....some strange posts in the past few days defending the goat info (ie Hercules having a meltdown on the previous page)

 

[thinktank]

dragon1 on that goat itk:
Majority of that post is bollocks , poch is super happy he views us same way Fergie did united and he wants to build a legacy
Regarding salary as others said most signed new deal and we have the highest bounds scheme in league , certain players are paid 20k a goal

Only element of truth is that levy is beyond a nightmare to deal with on transfers with other clubs certain chairman will not deal with him and certain interested parties in club will not deal with him either they go over him

Levy is not shy to do a re trade ,he did it in fact a year before buying the club to sugar who told him to go f**k himself and it took him a year before sugar would deal with him again , but most those players listed did not come for various other reasons not because of levys re trading

Sissoko?

Lol-meltdown? Expressing a view is not a meltdown. Never mind fella.

Or you take them both with a grain of salt and accept that the truth lies somewhere in between. Poch doesn't have to be only completely in love with Levy or completely pissed off at him--they can be close AND Poch can be frustrated.

Either way we come here for ITK, now we're getting it and people are criticizing it like they know better. *That's* bollocks

Yes really. Established ITK dismisses info as bollocks because its not what he heard. Saying "I haven't heard that" would be different, but lets be honest, dragon is the same as any other ITK in that they don't hear everything and they aren't right about everything.

If The Goat posts something, it's because we know who the source is, we've done our best to verify it and a lot goes on behind the scenes to check stuff out in as far as we can. So there's no anonymous sources and (exceptional circumstances not withstanding) The Goat does not just post info from people who we can't check out.

 

[Hercules]

This



seems like a meltdown to me

Are you itk? cause you've been acting like it lately......or are you the one who fed the goat? You are getting quite defensive

Look back on all my statements on my views on itk's. I don't care who it is. Just believe there is a way one should act that's all.

 

[phieffect]

Seems my deleted post got caught in a quote there A&C

I'll stop and go back to lurking now

 

[absolute bobbins]

Sissoko?

Hopefully

Yes we all know that the mods go to lengths to verify info, and it's appreciated. However, some people lie, exaggerate, twist things, or just crave attention, so no matter how good their credentials stand up upon checking, the only real way to judge the validity of ITK is through their track record.

Situations change all the time, so I get that what might be accurate today could appear false tomorrow, but over a length of time it's easier to value comments from some quarters, and dismiss those from others. The Goat's info could range from JJ to some random chancer, so when it comes to choosing between someone with a track record of knowing their stuff, or some anonymous mystery source, I'll go with the former every time.

20k/goal!!?? My goodness.

I don't understand the part I've bolded "re trade".

As for parties interested in buying Spurs going over Levy's head, I assume that means they go to Lewis.

 

[Lilbaz]

We've always (under levy) been heavily weighted towards bonuses. That's why we should ignore the "he's only on...." as it only tells part of the story.

Prefer it this way. The boys would have got massive bonuses for getting in the cl the last two years. When we did it under harry our wages went from £60m to £90m a 50% jump.

 

[Gb160]

It's always the same. Any bad stuff must come from someone with an axe to grind, but good stuff is lapped up and all sorts of reasons are found to make it possibly true.

I try to look at the overall picture, If we had three or four ITKs saying Levys fucking things up and Poch hates him and only one ITK coming out saying it's not true then I'd go with the majority.
Agree with @Spurger King in that dragons info is pretty damn good.

Re trading is when you agree a deal and then try to change the terms after agreeing, re-doing the trade.

20k/goal!!?? My goodness.

If it's Kane we may go bankrupt

 

[nedley]

I choose to believe that the truth lies somewhere inbetween.

Maybe it's Vinny!

The Goat has an excellent track record.
