When did JJ definitely say he vouched for it? Don't remember that.

"I think he gets good info". That's not a verified source.

This is spot on. I like LLM and reading his info, but JJ said he gets good info not that he could verify his source.

So just to clarify Rob, is he totally PNG here at the moment? or has he just been asked not to post but we can still discuss his stuff from ja606 like before?

Hopefully we can discuss his posts like before, but they just won't make the read only.

He sent us some details to get verified, they didn't stack up so we sent him a PM asking for some clarification and an explanation. Since then even more details didn't stack up so we PMed him again asking what was going on. This was mid-July.

He ignored the PMs for weeks so we sent another PM telling him to REALLY get in touch with us. He ignored that one too but continued posting his "ITK" in here.

We then posted publicly in here last week that he really needed to get in touch with us (whilst he was posting in here and active on the site). He ignored that too.

As a last resort he no longer has access to the transfer forums and he now will see a pop up on every page telling him to contact us.

I'm hoping this is a big misunderstanding but you can imagine how all of this looks from our perspective.

he never made read only, if the Mods dont want him posting on here until responds, then I can only assume that they also dont want his stuff posted from Ja606.. Also thought one of them asked that his stuff not get posted here

I actually think that LLM might have been scared off by someone outing him in the ITK thread a couple of weeks ago late one night. I've met the guy that the poster suggested he was, and the info did seem to fit, tbh. That's what playing the stupid game of guess the ITK could possible cause .

Might be way off base though and Rob and the team have acted 100% in the correct way

JJ in his deleted post did say that LLM would be a good person to take over his role as one of our top people ITK, however if he can't be verified then there's not much you mods can do.

Still we're free to still check his posts on the other site, and just discuss stuff in the player threads, just as we do with Twitter stuff, and if there is something good going down in the player thread someone usually posts a heads up in here.

Righto, now where's the post match ITK??

OK apologies then :oops: . I took it as a given that "he gets good info" is vouching for his sources, otherwise he wouldn't be getting good info? I didn't mean to start something out of nothing & was just pointing out that I, personally, miss the info that LLM was providing.

Some 'nobody' (when it comes to ITK) was put into the RO earlier this week, even though the mod that shared the info said he knew nothing about the validity of it, or whether the guy was a WUM. After around 20 minutes or so, the info was removed again because the person who provided the info was outed as a WUM, but I just found it intriguing that LLM was, looking from the outside in, just a detail or two from being verified, but his info was banned from being posted in the ITK section, despite it actually proving to be very good info. Then the mod came across the info from this 'nobody' and it was instantly put into the RO??

I don't know why LLM has decided to totally ignore all the messages you've sent him. I'd like to think it was because he's away on holiday or has no access to a laptop or whatever BUT we know that's not the case because he's posting on the 606 site. As I said, though, I was just voicing an opinion about how I am personally missing the info from LLM, if for no other reason than it making many an interesting discussion on here because it was 'different' to other ITK info, ie sort of 'behind the scenes', rather than just transfer target related. A bit of a breath of fresh air, if you like.

I'll wind my neck in. While I'm talking about LLM, though, has his omission resulted in him not paying up (donating) after losing the bet he had with somebody after he said he couldn't see Huddlestone leaving? None of my business but pennies are pennies and all help to keep the site going :(

Isn't he an ex youth scout now working in Scotland (for Cale Thistle I think)? I'm sure in one of his ja606 posts that ranted about this site (before he started posting here) that he admitted as much.

After reading that post, absolutely. Apologies for bringing him up, would you like me to delete the posts?

Nope it's fine.

Like I said, I really hope it's all a big misunderstanding but we've gone into a lot of effort looking into LLM and I'm not sure what else we can do until he responds.
