Dave Jones/Club not happy about RR/Football Insider getting leaked info?

Bit strange imo. In any deal where quite a few people need to know details you're going to get leaks of some sort. If anything things have been kept more in house recently, some of the signings have pretty much come out of the blue. Unless there's a chance of the leak sabotaging the deal I don't really see why they'd be arsed. All that matters is that we've had a good window and finally look to have some positivity, I wouldn't worry (certainly not publicly) about something that seems pretty minor in the grand scheme of things
 
That mean we missed out on signings because of leaked info being put on message boards?

if that’s the case, and it’s that business sensitive I suggest the club finds the leaks internally and plugs them.
 
Could read this one of two ways which are subtly different but actually massive.

1 - he’d have enjoyed it more without the leaks

2 - some of the leaks actually compromised transfers

Considering there weren’t many leaks on the ones that happened, and none of the four that were posted on here by taxidriver did, I’m going with the latter
 
Always going to happen in this day and age, no different to any other club.
I can understand it must be frustrating though when leaks alert other teams and scupper deals.
I'm not really sure how much a leak will alert other teams tbh. If a players agent is doing their job they'll make sure all clubs who might be interested are aware that their player is available and might be moving. It's an obvious way of potentially getting a bidding war that ups the offers their player gets. Not saying it never happens, but I doubt many moves which come out of the blue for fans are quite as well kept a secret behind closed doors
 
Personally don't think there's anything untoward going on, like them talking to Methven. I think these lads just do what the rest of us can't be arsed to do. Go digging online and reach out to other podcast/fanzine types.
 
What were the taxi driver four?

Jebbison, Gibson, Goode and Gabriel? And Wright out?

Which of these could a leak credibly spike? Not Gabriel, Blackpool were always going to be in for him. Goode doesn't look like he was ever on the market. Gibson never seemed that credible to me - too similar to Doyle, not the profile we wanted. Wright out? Pinch of salt with that, Johnson has always been fairly positive about keeping him and he keeps coming on to close games out when we go to a back three, which he is excellent at. Besides, experience vital in our defence - can't see it.

Jebbison, guess it must have been. Definitely one we might have liked to sneak through before half of League one came in for him. But surely Sheffield United might have shopped him around - they've certainly been doing that, not least to the Belgium club the owner also owns.

Reckon it's all bollocks and he's just gutted Sky look well out of touch. Leaks are part of life for any industry that is newsworthy.

Jebbison could hardly be a leak if he was at a couple of pre-seasons.

well done for completely missing the point again

that taxi driver thing is nonsense also

Borst the taxi 🚖 tyres….. problem solved

was Gallacher, not Gabriel.

he mentioned Gallacher and Jebbison far before anyone else did. It was clear his list was a genuine list of targets.

clearly we then did try for Gallacher and Jebbison. Unsure about the other two
