On July 1st, the Summer Transfer Market opens and closes on September 1st, while The Winter Transfer Market opens on January 1 and closes on January 31. During this time their is a level of anxiety emanating from fans of various Football clubs that they support, that is to expected. There is a different type of anxiety occurring among The Media who want to be the first to report the latest arrivals and departures of players. There are reporters who fabricate stories to gain followers on social media. They are known as I.T.K.( In The Know) ,which is ironic because they truly have no idea if such player is leaving or going but they elaborate on rumors that are circulating or invent some. For example they would link players with a club with a great history, like Manchester United.
Even journalists working in newspapers embellish rumors. Now for an average fan, who are not knowledgeable about these so-called journalists embellishing rumors, would just believe it and not questioned who are there sources, which is a question that needs to be asked. These individuals want to be popular at the expense of football fans who want to know the truth. There can't be a better example than the club that I support wholeheartedly, Manchester United, who because of its rich history, large income year after year they have been able to generate, fall victims to these so-called journalists. Manchester United are linked every in each Transfer Market to thousands of players, more than any other team.
In writing this, I just want to make Manchester United fans and by large football fans aware of these frauds. Personally I wait for Manchester United to announce any player departure or arrival. If you want to seek out any other form of media, the most reliable are Sky Sports, BBC or ESPN, there journalists are well respected.
