The Lie: "Our sources say..." Thanks to Twitter, and the unquenchable thirst of football fans for even the flimsiest morsel of information about potential deals, an awful culture of In The Know charlatans has cropped up in the past few years. Anyone with a keyboard and the brass neck to lie their way to "fame" can now claim that they have their fingers on the pulse and their ears to the doors that matter behind the scenes at clubs. The reality for most is that they bought their first followers, offered fake competitions for match day tickets and are part of a promote-for-promote system that helps them cement their ludicrously valued positions. And no, there isn't a single one of them - whether they claim to be an agent or a journalist - who isn't sitting in their underpants at home laughing at everyone who believes them. The fact that some are now on radio stations proves exactly how horrendously things have developed.
