How come stories always circulate from ITK sources when the club is going through a bad spell and you never hear ITK sources telling you good things about the club (transfer rumours from tylswhite aside!)? They are always from a 'reliable' source and always contain a player slagging off the club/manager etc. One doing the rounds at the moment involves someone who saw McCann on Saturday night after the game. Invariably, they are rubbish and someone has just made up stuff to portray the club or manager in a bad light.
Yet never once have I heard a story such as 'A mate of mine, ITK, and someone I swear would always tell the truth, met Gary Cahill at Pizza Hut last night. Great lad. Said the players are 100% behind the manager and admitted they played poorly the other day but were determined to stick together and make sure we get 3 points next time out'.
ITK sources will tell you that Megson's relationship has broken down between him and Gartside/Eddie Davies/a star player/the backroom staff etc. etc. etc. Most of it is garbage.
Football clubs attract rumours like flies to a dead dog.
