Everton and the ITKs in 2016

[Goat]

As we enter the 2nd week in August, something is becoming very clear to me, nobody has a clue on Everton transfers, this thread isnt a witch hunt and I wont name names, nor am I calling anybody out, but I have a request for the Mods and its this, I request a blanket ban on all supposed ITK information being allowed on the forum.

So far the following has happened this year :

Moshiri took over the club
Gibson signed a new contract
Stickleback was signed
Walsh joined us
Gueye signed
Williams signed

And not a single ITK on any platform called any of it, nobody on here, nobody on Twitter, nobody on any other Everton forum as far as I could see. Now ive been as guilty as anybody, I have actually received some information this window and passed it on, it was all utter rubbish, I hereby retire from the ITK game, due to the fact that im convinced that nobody knows anything.

Which brings me to the forum, we have 000s of people logging on daily for little titbits of information and the forum is full of jarg wannabe ITKs, its not productive for us as a forum and I personally think warnings should be issued for anybody claiming to have Intel they wish to pass on.

I would appreciate if people didnt turn this into a witch hunt, as I say, ive been as guilty as anybody else, but I am stating, now, for the record, I do not have access to any information regarding Everton Football Club and im sorry, it was never my intention to trick or lie to my fellow posters.

Thoughts?

....you're doing a great job with these transfer threads, not sure how you think them up or how you sneak them into the Ale House. Admirable.

Its a results business after all.

What are your thoughts concerning my blanket ban request Mick?

With respect @MoutsGoat it's a forum and apart from stepping in to maintain order and adherence to the site rules I do not believe there should be any editorial policy at all.

But does the influx of ITKs not impact on the site?

Im not saying ban everybody that passes on info, but certain people are just here to spread lies.

As I say, I want to avoid naming names, but you only to read the Everton forum to know what im talking about.

The rise of the attention seeking jarg ITK is a plague on the forum as it sets the bed wetters off on pages of pointless speculation that makes us look like RAWK

People have opinions, people may or not be told things, people have views based on logic and experience, and if they wish to post their views then they should. Other posters should take these views for what they are and not bet their houses on them......anyone who does is probably a fool..........however, anyone who deliberately portrays themselves as genuine ITK's and can't back it up should be told to stop it........

Finch Farm is watertight these days for info.

Anyone who knows info wouldn't risk their job by putting it on the internet and everyone else is guessing.

The ITK's on here are about as much use as Echo reporters

In fact most of the drivel posted looks like it's from directly from a rag

 

[tonyhorne]

To be fair to all concerned it is likely that there is very little to be certain about. Even the club and the player involved can be surprised by things that change quickly. Agents have to be seen to be earning their cut........
