Jesus wept, how many times does it have to be rammed into your fucking head that the ITK started drying up after Harry took over? You've been a member for less than a year, you have no idea whatsoever of what things used to be like, so for pity's sake stop talking utter shit.

Charming ;)

I was a transfer window lurker for 2 years before I joined, I worked with someone who used to be a member here (now banned) and he pointed out the site to me but for reasons of A) Not wanting to be assumed to be an alias of said banned member as we would have shared same work IP and B) Because I didn't have the time outside of work to post I just lurked so I was familiar with the various ITK's and famous names before I took the plunge

He wouldn't.

A few weeks ago some no-mark WUM listed a whole string of 'deals', plus dates. It was obvious to anyone who's followed ITK for more than a couple of windows that this was the kind of garbage that belongs on Twitter or Transfer-Rumours, but Pottle very much hedged his bets.

I remember it well. In fact the last bit of 'ITK' from POTL I can remember was something along the lines of "Ade this week. Some good news, some bad news."

He sounds like someone trying to cling onto their ITK importance. I genuinely hope I'm wrong as POTL's team news in the past has been fantastic.

As for ITK drying up since Harry left...I'd argue that JJ has been the most accurate and interesting ITK I've experienced since joining SC, and has come out with a series of insightful comments long after Harry got the boot. Prior to JJ the best I can remember is a series of cryptic lyric contests, and the occasional coupling of colours. Maybe it's just me but with JJ around this feels like the golden age of ITK.

You don't give a high rating to the end of that transfer window where Mr. Levy was in parts unknown (supposedly Spain) and everyone was trying to guess where he was, to ascertain who he might be after. Some SC member claimed that his son went to school with Levy Jr. and all of SC wanted Jr.'s mobile # so they could call him and ask: "Son...where am I?"

Think that last tweet from akqa might have been a bit tongue in cheek in context, but who knows anymore...

Does that mean you have some ITK to post? As someone said above, the little comments don't help and it's what did for Adie in the end. I KNOW you're ITK but a lot of people reading this don't.

This is what I struggle to understand. I know you wan to lower (temper?) people's tendency to lean on every word that ITKs say for the sake of the forum, but does that mean they can't post anything if it's not ITK. How people construe a post is surely up to those who read and filter it themselves?
