Interesting article in the post this morning, any thoughts on who these could be?

Sounds like usual BP say something without saying anything bullshit. Also, the article is tagged as 'Darrell Clarke' so well done BP, again.

Ever since Jack Vittles left the BP, the standard of journalism has plummeted. Articles are regularly strewn with spelling mistakes, clickbait and misinformation, I tried to avoid it where possible. Only decided to post this because usually when they stick their neck out and claim to have a source from within the club, it's a credible one.

Forwards playing in the Championship does not mean they're Championship standard.

Forwards playing in the Championship does not mean they're Championship standard. Tell the BP that, just putting the headline of their article.

Bearing in mind of course that it's now a Mirror Group paper, or is it Reach. An awful lot of it is now cut & pasted from the parent paper.

What's the difference between the lack of detail in that article and the statements our owners come out with? You seem to believe one but class the other as 'bullshit'.

You honestly can't tell the difference between a newspaper and a football club with regard to the necessity and obligation to disseminate information? Do you stand outside the BP offices on a Saturday afternoon hoping to watch a football match, too?

It's beyond parody that someone so easily accepting of vague statements by the board can be so critical of the same content from the evening post or whatever it calls itself these days. Both are trying to achieve the same aim- lure in the gullible by telling them something and nothing and at all. As for the necessity and obligation of disseminating information- go on, tell me about confidentiality clauses while you are at it

Why do you think the club is trying to lure the gullible in? What does that even mean in this regard? In any case my point was nothing to do with confidentiality clauses, so I'll ask again, coz it's kinda important to your original point and you've completely ignored it, You honestly can't tell the difference between a newspaper and a football club with regard to the necessity and obligation to disseminate information?

This is really just the Bristol post stirring the pot isn't it....
We all very well know the GC will be looking to bring some kind of forward player in. We are also aware that because of the circumstances regarding our lack of goals that there's a lot of pressure regarding bringing in said player ( I don't envy GC one bit on this)....
So might aswell lump on the pressure a bit more then....

Taking the article at face value and we are looking at ‘championship’ Strikers . They won’t be players currently in their respective teams scoring goals unless Wael has found the long lost memorial stadium money tree and given it a bloody good shake. Which means it’ll be a forward who’s young and thought will not make the grade... hence they’ll let him leave. Or.... a player on the way down. If I was splashing the cash I’d go for the young option every time . Players who are on the slide usually keep sliding! All that said.... as I’ve consistently said on here over the years. A striker is the one position you have to be prepared to pay the going rate. Will we ?

The club is trying to appease the fanbase by giving them nothing statements - just like the Bristol post is telling us "we were in for a player...but it fell through", both the board and the Bristol post are great at obfuscating the truth so I am surprised that someone can believe one so vehemently over the other. And I did answer your point about the necessity and obligation blah blah blah. I get that they can't tell us everything but their insistence on telling us nothing? I don't buy it, there are enough posters who have made a case for why it is utterly ridiculous that they have wrapped the training ground in confidentiality. And we have passed the one year anniversary of the consultants who were appointed during the Bodin sale. Who are they? What have they got to show for their efforts? Or was this just another nothing statement with no substance like all the others? We can all make our own minds up about that but given what the board have managed to achieve so far and DC's categoric statement that nothing will be built during the length of his 5 year contract I know what my money is on.

Ummm Bored. Like to hear news / opinions on the all important striker recruitment. Not another diatribe on board communications which we have all agreed previously is dire.

And where have you got me believing one so vehemently over the other? I would suggest all the vehemence is coming from the board haters who whine about not having communication, and then whine when we get communication, and whine about not signing any players, and then whine when we sign a player, etc. And the rest of your post is, of course, just whining about the board and nothing to do with what I said.

I expect the next stage of the grand spiral tour will involve a communication to say we are planning to sign these players by "beating off competition from Championship clubs"

I expect the next stage of the grand spiral tour will involve a communication to say we are planning to sign these players by "beating off competition from Championship clubs" Could well be Swiss. But to repeat the same mantra is becoming tedious. Unless somebody, or a group, coughs up and moves them on, we are where we are. In the meantime...
