Aren't journalists themselves inherently aggregators? It's not like they create original content (excepting long form journalists), they just compile information from divers places.

Yeah, more or less. I guess some of them have unique contacts, but most of the time either all of them get the same stuff, or someone gets a scoop, and all of the others just follow suit. Being a sports journalist is a pretty lame job nowadays, it seems.

Not sure if posted already but saw somewhere that the Greek oik was tinkled off because MGW was meant to be a part exchange with City rather than just a straight transfer and him wanting to go to us was spoiling that, rather than anything genuinely to do with contracts and clauses.

Not sure the fact that he is Greek is relevant. By all means call him an Oik.

But I don’t think there is need for “Greek Oik” at all.

Call him Cúnt all you want but his nationality has nothing to do with it so maybe leave it out.

Fair enough. The Greek was meant as an identifier rather than a derogatory but isn't needed.

Where his nationality does come in is that in his home country he has ruled the roost and got away with loads
He thinks that can happen in other countries with the way he has acted at forest

Do we know for sure the owner got involved? I don't see it mentioned anywhere. Everything is stated in terms of the club reneging, not Marinakis. Not that it isn't plausible that he's behind it, but it's interesting that his name isn't mentioned anywhere other than Spurs' forums speculating he is.

The reports I've seen from the Nottingham Forest side of things claimed it was Marinakis himself he has vetoed the deal. Now how they know the ins and outs I don't know I don't know if they are creditable but this is narrative outside of Spurs forums as well.

 

[BrainOfLevy]

Yes. Because they thought spurs had triggered the release clause so the deal was basically done. Forest then said no.

We don't know what was said between spurs and forest. We don't know what the contract says. It's speculation on our part. We need to keep that in mind and not get carried away with what we "think" might have happened.

I’m not sure what you’re responding to exactly.

The journos for each club have their line that they put out. The Forest tone definitely changed from one day to the next, that’s all I’m saying. Not claiming anything definitively happened other than that.

You litterally said that forest thought the deal was good until the owner got involved. That is speculation. You don't know that for a fact.

I read an article suggesting he may be involved in a massive heroin smuggling operation and subsequent murders and cover ups. Scary stuff. Levy should watch his back.
