Well some sections of our media were reporting a transfer fee of £20M for Jordan Henderson!

Bottom line is that things are now being done well and truly behind closed doors, just as they were before Moores and Parry started dragging our tradition of having respect for other clubs into the mud. The upshot is that "pet hacks" are no longer getting their scraps to feed on. Filling up column inches when there's no news is pretty much restricted to reporting vastly over-estimated transfer fees when very few people know the reality of the situation, then waffling on about how much over the odds we've paid.

Predictable and tiresome lazy journalism and people buy it. Also doesn't help when you get idiots like David Pleat and co. rambling on about such things on national radio.
