The leaker/insider

How amateurish does that look to players and agents when Moyes is flagging up club security-privacy issues during a period when we're trying to look professional and get signings done.

Daft as a 'kin brush revealing all that.

'Revealing'?? what are you on about. Anyone paying any attention to Everton last week knows there's a well connected leak in the club. It's so obvious, the manager felt the need to address it in publc.

There was a guy here years ago DAVIDMOYES i think
He used to post accurate transfer info, he'd rarely post anything but when he did you'd take note.
That's the kind of ITK I want.
Then there's the bobble who tried to build a following by releasing the line ups 5 mins before the club.
Then paywalled his info. He profiteered off Everton's ineptitude. It was never acceptable and always going to go too far.
I'm amazed the club let it run this long.
Hearing that he needs to sling his hook and ride off in to the sunset with his patreon bucks is the best news of pre season.

….which is fine if posters don’t also welcome the information that’s leaked. There’s clearly a market for this detail if fans are prepared to pay for it.

What Mr Bobble & Co say seems to get plenty of coverage on here.

Well theyve been happening as long as Bobble has been prominent.

the bobble isnt a journo? So how is he finding out?

Bit different to @Tofeenut who posts here.

He calls himself one

….Branthwaite being injured doesn’t inform a change of system, it’ll actually add to the confusion the opposition now have. I think it more likely to add a belief that we lack defensive pace so that could influence their selection but they’d know that today anyway given Moyes presser.

It is what it is, I don’t think it’s precious information.

If it's not precious why is Moyes fuming about it?

This, this arrogant nonsense has to stop.
There's a lovely new stadium mate, get your buddies, go for a few beers and enjoy the bloody game.
Or go and get an internship at some local paper.

Exactly this I don't sit well with. At least I don't see his mate Bobble taking the mick anywhere publicly when someone doesn't agree with them (maybe within their paid circle but I don't know that)

 

[atrottel]

….from what I see, posters are happy getting leaked information but complain about the people who leak information

Personally, fans/opposition will be informed about an injury by the Manager ahead of a game, it doesn’t make a lot of difference if that happens a few days earlier from a different source.

Well you are doing the thing of conflating some fans with all the fans.

Certain posters are happy getting leaked information. Certain posters, not necessarily the same people, complain about the people who leak information. Certain posters may have more money than others and are happy to pay for a walled garden with two people rehashing rumours. Certain posters are fine upstanding members of GOT and are happy to book their hotels for a stay anywhere in the world through the GOT affiliate links (even though the GOT Hill Dickinson page has not been updated yet, cough cough!).

Well that's what I think to that nob.

You will struggle to plug leaks in a football club, too many moving parts. Happens in every club. I for one like getting information before the club reports it. With Everton you would be waiting weeks for them to officially report it.

So why trumpet it and make the club look like a basket case?

Keep your dirty laundry hidden.

Do you really think if the bobble hadnt posted this, nothing would have come out in the last 2 days and the first we’d have heard was in the presser.
I remember Barkley getting injured the day before the season started About 10yrs ago and it was all over twitter and it turned out to be true, these things always get out.

If this was Paul Joyce or Ornstien, or another journalist, there would be nowhere near the outcry

I’m not saying that nothing would ever get out.

It’s just clear that someone is leaking confidential information at the club which is unprofessional and I don’t agree with it. If I was leaking confidential information at my job then I’d get sacked.

I also don’t have much time for Bobble charging people for information that he’s getting for free.

 

[Eggs]

If it's not precious why is Moyes fuming about it?

….the club want to control communications, I’m just not sure injury detail is so precious as it’s going to public knowledge at some point. Regardless, the point I was making is some posters seem to welcome inside information but complain about those who leak it.

I'm content to limit my hatred to the Red Echo. Moyes can hunt down the leaker if he can find one.

You do realise you have to pay to
Listen to toffee TV or the blue room podcasts on Patreon. Which I used to which I now don’t because they’re boring.

The view from bullens, have live phone ins, a forum, Q&A. Other shows, Alan Stubbs is on every week, Michael ball has been on. We don’t just log on once a day to see if the bobble has posted a transfer rumour. And posting the team 15mins before it comes out, is really nothing considering the opposition manager gets it well before then and I think if you have a table in one of the lounges you get it early as well
