I didn't say ALL established journalists! Of course there are wrong'uns there – always have been, always will be. All I'm saying is that there must be others like Andy who report on their clubs in a similar way. Their approach is to take their lead from the club, respect the embargoes set on...

Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. But, if he really was a journalist worth his salt, he would verify the 'stories' he reveals (I doubt he ever does) and then check with the club if there was an embargo. Which the club almost certainly would have in mind. But his ego won't allow anything like that...

You're probably right – someone obviously did. My issue with him – and his ilk – is what is the point of breaking the news before the club does? What benefit do people (other than him) get from revealing news that is going to be made official by the club a few hours later. Anyway, enough of...

Yes. So if he announced the news as a journalist (which he claims he is), he broke the embargo.

So he broke the embargo then?

No, because he's got a completely different job with a different audience. The difference between him (and other established journalists) is that they won't dabble in heresay or – what it looks like the case is in this instance – break club embargoes when they send out news. Yes it's fantastic...

He's never done 'exclusives'. He reports the news from the club, at the time when the club decides to release it. Also, I'm not quite sure why Andy Naylor would be embarrassed about the agent-botherer announcing a renewed contract for a player who is already at the club. Is that the best he's...

I'm aware of embargoes, which Naylor wouldn't break. Fab Rom? He's unlikely to give a shit about things like that.

Why?
