A journo never reveals their sources... but Phil 01:02 - Jul 5 with 4323 viewswkj

Can you shed a little more light on why the Celina story seems credible?

Don't get me wrong, this is not critique - but more curiosity as the story gives very little way as to how the story has legs.

I don't necessarily believe everything I read, and I find this story far fetched. Maybe a loan at best? Even then I doubt it.

It is one of the harder stories to treat without a skeptical stance - though there is plenty to suggest that there are problems at his current team that might mean he and others are on the move - just unsure where the tie to Ipswich comes in.

"A journo never reveals their sources" - but basically, you've asked Phil to.

Not really - Phil has a way of explaining things sometimes that lines up his own hunches with the story itself.

If it was a case of me asking him to do that the post would read

"ere... Phil - Who told you that then"

Clearly, it does not say that.

Ashton is a serious player in transfer dealings. We're just not used to it.

Think Phil is still hungover from Saturday. He will get back to you once he has had 3 coffees and a pack of hob nobs. Patience my friend, I think this one might actually be happening.

Whilst it would seem quite an unlikely transfer, both Phil and SomethingBlue think there is something in it so the signs in the Journo-world must be fairly strong.

EADT have it as a 'transfer rumour' which i think is their code for 'we read it on TWTD but we know nothing about this'.

Remember that Phil's track record is pretty good when reporting stories like this.

I think Phil has gotten enough stories spot on over the years for us to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

They’ve also said ‘it’s understood’ which I translate to ‘theres most definitely something In it, but it’s not our story and cannot yet confirm’.

Not sure what I can really add, talks ongoing, move is a real possibility.

I do feel some may have misunderstood my motives on this post - again, it isn't a critique or bringing Phil's reputation into disrepute, but more intrigue around how an unlikely rumour starts to become a tangible lead.

I am a number jockey, not a wordsmith. I find this all very fascinating when we get a link out of the blue.

there was a really good piece on this on the KOA podcast a few weeks back, I am sorry I can't remember the episode and I know I am promoting a rival pod to BM with TWTD so sorry for that Phil but I found it really informative they also explained how they categorise stories. I presume Phil and TWTD do things in a very similar way.

I think things have gone beyond that.

Just kidding, no idea, just wanted to use the famous phrase.
