I work in football, hardly a minute goes by when I don't hear a rumour or see one
I co own a messageboard and in order that people don't get shot down by the likes of you, they PM me any news knowing I will take the stick for it..
and most importantly if GP, Amit and Ishan left tomorrow, I would still be posting rumours.
Don't know of 1 football messageboard in the land, that does not have them..
The Palace messageboard were the first ones this week for example to mention the Warnock rumour, that was NOT on here first.
The above is the reality, yet keep spinning it, enough people will believe you. They do already
You cant beat having rumours, its part of the fun.
But its one thing hearing gossip from your brothers girlfriends old man who heard it from the goldfish whilst shopping in Waitrose etc
its another having info constantly passed on directly from board members.
(if indeed, this has been the case).
They are 2 totally different scenarios.
If the Mitals do have a major shareholding (and im yet to be convinced of this), id hope that they would show alot more professionalism then we have been used to. But whilst certain individuals remain, there will always be scepticism.
More fan participation in regards to meetings with the hierachy
Serious consideration on reducing season ticket prices
A manager to manage the football club
No outside interference
Budget being given to new manager for Players
The last thing is what we are all hoping for
Staying in this division and rebuilding for next season
Think you´re right...and we should really change the club crest again...this one is a symbol of bad times and says nothing of the great history of this fantastic club. It´s Flavios and we´re so much more than that
Being saying for ages we need more transparency at our club. More stuff posted on the offish site to help end the speculation and not just one or two curt statements on there which say nothing.
It won't stop the rumours on this or other boards but at least we'd have an idea as to what's going and can debate properly based on "official" information.
We've been left in the dark over everything from why Routledge was sold to why Volz hasn't signed and the more serious stuff. And not even an apology at the late postponement of Tuesday's game. It really hasn't helped that they've told us nothing about anything.

Something else also has to happen - the other Italian spiv needs to be shown the door. And I'm sure that will happen, at least he's been removed from having any real influence on the playing squad now.

But there are rumours and then there are rumours.
If you talk to Fulham fans – and I unfortunately have to – you will discover that leaks/contacts at the training ground have all but dried up since Hodgson arrived at the club. Any rumours that do surface come from the opposing club, player's agents, Facebook, press speculation or just fans taking a punt – hardly any leaks comes from the club, whether 'official' or unofficial. There was one geezer who was apparently ITK but even he has admitted that his contacts have either left or have been ordered to shut it or face dismissal.
Now that may make here a little more boring – and by all accounts the few Fulham boards that exist are very boring – but the amount of stuff being fed to fans at Rangers is ridiculous and at times potentially destabilizing to the individuals involved. I wouldn't want a potential career move, speculated upon and dissected – particularly if the career change involved me leaving my current job. So I, too, would love to see an end to the leaking from the club
At the end of the day, we have more than enough creative posters on here to ensure that the rumours and speculation continue at a rapid rate, regardless of whether it comes from an 'insider'.
And just in case you think I'm being a party pooper, writing about football rumour and speculation was part of my job for many years. Don't make it easy for lazy journos and lets hope the club can try and establish a bit of privacy and integrity in its transfer dealings.

Now the pub beckons.
100% agree. If anyone working at the club is releasing info then they should be disciplined, as in any other line of work, whether they are in the club shop or the new 'chairman'.
