Greg Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 It's amazing how papers don't pick this sort of thing up. Apart from a few one-liners here and there among articles containing speculative bollocks like "Oba on his way out" and "Baines on his way in", there's been fuck all about this transfer despite us all knowing about it on Friday night from the most reputable of sources. You'd think at least one paper would want an exclusive on a notable transfer but they're genuinely too busy just making stuff up to notice what's actually happening. The Sunday Express, The People and Sunday Sun all reported we had agreed a fee. Obviously well after it broke on here but they did pick up on it.

To be fair it happened at a difficult time for the papers. Most had already gone to print by the time people realised a fee had been agreed on Friday night and then by the sunday papers it was old news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Added Allardyce: "For me it's been an excellent week. We've signed three players on - the last one will be finished off tomorrow. "Jose Enrique I think will join us by tomorrow morning or afternoon by putting pen to paper. And with Claudio (Cacapa) and Alan (Smith) before him, we have added a lot of quality and potential."

macphisto Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wullie, I was just about to write the same thing, the secrecy surrounding this transfer has been really strange. This transfer together with journalists being clueless (i.e. stories ranging from signing Ronaldinho one week to being broke the next), Thompson House being left out the loop, secrecy of the takeover just sounds like "classic Ashley". By this I mean that in all the info I've read about him, the one thing that stands out is how secretive he is and it now appears to have been transferred to the Toon as well. This change of culture could be more significant to the club than anything else to happen this summer. The stuff that has been leaked in the past has been ridiculous and has only served to undermine the club as a whole. One thing to bear in mind which has already been mentioned elsewhere is that a strategy of no/little information (which I'm in favour of) could seriously come back and bite us if we go through a bad patch as the press will be waiting to have a go. The media are being made to look like clowns at the moment as they have not got a clue about what is happening and they’ll not be happy about it. I don’t think Ashely himself will be too bothered what the press say but it’s important that the fans do not get taken in by what they read when the going gets rough. One thing that would completely put a spanner in the works though is if Martins is sold as then the fans really would not know who to believe.

Far far far too much credit is given to the British media (maybe not on here) who are not in the least bit interested in reporting truth.
