Isn’t it just a bit weird for local press and twtd not to report on Hirst at this point? Club must really have them by the balls these days… |  | | |  |

Clearly this has spiraled, but on the whole I don't even disagree with that stance.
My original point/post was that when it was literally all over twitter it felt a bit bizarre not to report anything. My concern is/was that if things are only going to get reported at a similar time to official announcements then it's going to devalue the site over time (which none of us want to happen). I'd be surprised if that hasn't crossed your mind as a concern too - it's not a dig as such. |
Why on earth would it "devalue the site"?
If anything, it makes me value the site more, because more credible - I know its info is 100% correct.
Even if it does only arrive a few minutes before the Club release an official statement, that's still significant - and in any case this is the site that I'm frequently on because of the forum, where any big news is always picked up instantly by at least a couple of members due to the sheer numbers regularly on here. It's usually also immediately relayed onto Twitter, which I'm often also on. Am less often on the Club site, like many others I suspect, because comparatively speaking it's far less busy, with only irregular output. |  |

Good news - glad you think that way. Everyone entitled to different opinions. Although you’re even highlighting yourself you get a lot of stuff from twitter now which kind of backs up my concern.
Think historically fan sites have been a good way to get insight which isn’t official - often proper ITK type info early. Seems like going to be twitter and forum members moving forward (communicating the same info that I’m sure Phil already knows but doesn’t publish)
Anyway, as I say, don’t have to agree - just don’t see when it’s all over twitter why an Ipswich news site would pretend they don’t know anything to report. In this specific instance, based on what I know of events, there would’ve been absolutely no risk to the deal if it was reported as close on Tuesday afternoon. But going round in circles at this point. | | | |

Our fans will do anything, literally anything, to have SOMETHING to moan about.
Jesus wept. |  |

Lol. Oh no someone down arrowed me.
Again the answers are there. Not my fault you don't seem to be able to find them
Have a good evening:) |
Just repeating you've answered when you haven't doesn't somehow magic them away. Everyone can see you've swerved them.
You simply won't answer because you can't admit you're wrong (again). |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

I think you’ve completely misunderstood my mention of twitter, which may be my fault for not writing clearly.
I only pick up ITFC news from there *after*, and as a direct result of it being on here first, because of a couple of people on here who I follow on Twitter. But usually I’d see it on here first anyway, because these days I’m far more on here than there (though that wasn’t always the case).
I’d only see it on Twitter first if I happened to be spending a few minutes on there at the same time big news had broken - but the source of that news would always be TWTD. I cba with the rumour mill and its ifs/buts/maybes, which seems like a waste of time to me - life’s too short!
Sorry if that’s a bit clunky, but seems important to set the facts straight. | |
