You do realise that your constant references to your ''sources'' mean absolutely nothing to the rest of us? Seriously, we''ll know soon enough, so why not give it a rest? [|-)]

Besides, it''s hardly the same, is it? It''s not like I''m deliberately trying to deceive my fellow fans into thinking that I have some kind of special insight into club affairs. I''m merely pointing out that such threads are a bit futile since pointing out that one has ''sources'' equates to bugger all.

That''s nothing - I bumped into Glenn Hoddle last night at Liquid, and he said David Icke was a shoe in for the job.  Oh - hang on a minute, the nurse wants me.

The Pink''Un Guide To Rumour-MongeringMake it difficult to falsify (i.e. impossible to refute easily - "My source told me that Mark Robins is in Norwich" for example).Include a secret source and an example of he or she being right before (i.e. a non-specific somebody that told you who has proved trustworthy - "My source is extremely reliable and is in constant contact with the club, he told me that Gunn was going to be sacked").Pretend to be apologetic if you are wrong (i.e. return to the forum and say that your source was wrong - "Oh well, he''s sometimes right, but let''s move on!")Point out that you''re only the messenger (i.e. use your source to shief the blame upon - "I''m only telling you what I''ve heard!"Example:"Just to let you know that my source told me that Mark Robins in in Norwich. My source is extremely reliable and is in constant contact with the club and has been right in the past - he told me that Gunn was going to be sacked! Sometimes he''s wrong but I''m only passing on what I''ve heard! OTBC!"[|-)]
