So many breaking news type stories have been put on here since the summer and not a thing has in reality happened. Whilst i appreciate it was all well intended there has to come a point where these people reveal who has been feeding them this misinformation or their credibility will be called into question.
In the past most stories seemed to come from ex directors with friends still at the club or our lose tongued finance director. Time to reveal all guys this has gone on too long and is getting silly and unsettling the fan base.

My source is part of the playing setup and has his finger on the pulse. This is why I have remained quiet and revealed nothing. It's not worth it.

Correct. If you cannot name the source then don't post and that applies to you GD

Upsetting the fan base? If you think a few people with wobbly heads on this forum is representational I wouldn't agree. The other forum has one small thread, most people in the circle I move in don't know if this forum and when I mention the ludicrous statements being made here and on Facebook they laugh their nuts off. I do agree however people need to be outed. People are being used as pawns I think.

Has there been any chanting at home matches regarding this? Any banners? NO! This forum represents what around 100 active people?? Buckle losing games, McGook playing Virgo up top that upset the fan base. Not a thread on here started by gasincider

Ok I admit it, I am the one you Call 'The Source'.
I agree to meet up with two or three specially selected forumers, usually in shaded areas of empty car parks or corners of disused warehouses and slip them enough word to start a thread and excite the naive, but not enough for them to back their stories up with solid facts. It's my style. I'm commonly seen with a long coat on, a hat to shade out my face and a cigarette in mouth. Once I have provided the info I disappear back into the shadows from which I lurk.
Now I have come clean all this 'my source said this' nonsense can stop eh?

Is it now completely impossible to start a thread without someone turning it into a load of abuse?
Constantly publishing stories that never happen has got to be unsettling for the club to some degree whilst i accept its not causing riots on the terraces. We have always had a passive fan base anyway.

I seem to remember someone once posted that DC would tend to say far to much at the training ground. Should we tell NH?
Right who do we all want as manager?
With regard to many recent stories we would need to recruit a complete new staff an a couple of new players. Still, at least we would all know who the grass is. And imagine how many more grasses we would have with all new people in. That's right. NONE. Then anything of any contentious nature could pass unnoticed.
Next. ( subject to change)

I'm sure there are lots pf people with "Sources"... I used to have an absolute bang on source! Told me about the Jeff Hughes transfer weeks before (which I might have agreed to leak on the old OF) and generally kept me up to date with stuff - most of which was trusted....
Now, however, nothing... all very tight lipped..... Just get the "Wait and see" line....

If you read all the threads you can develop over time a good appreciation of which posters are reliable and which are not.
I also look at what posts are liked by certain posters as that can often tell you as much as the post itself.
I also hear snippets from various people both on and off this forum and I add all of this into the mix.
I don't need to know the primary source for every story, I'm able to make a reasonable judgment based on all of the above to decide how much credence I give to stuff posted here.
At the end of day this is a forum for people to chuck stuff about. It saddens me that people feel the need to go OTT with the abuse if others. If you don't believe a poster, log it and remember to ignore what they say.
I quit modding last time in part because I failed to get to grips with protecting posters from unnecessary personal attacks.
Pretty soon I'm going to just upset some folks by just banning persistent offenders because I'm Dam sick of it.
