What sports journalist gets everything right mate? I’m interested to know Their job is built off speculation, with the odd contact I don’t think he plucked the FF/Hull rumour out of thin air, he was probably informed by someone in football that their was interest and it never materialised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nixon has got so many jilted lovers, all harbouring a grudge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) He definitely knows his stuff. He gets slated just because he posts a rumour and it doesn't come off for any reason. That doesnt make him wrong. Whether he has his inside man or woman at our club now I don't know.

An agent, manager, chairman gives a bit of "inside info" to a journalist, but as often as not, it's just made up in the hope of drumming up a bit of genuine interest. The skill of a sports journalist is in maximising his sources to be able to weed out the fake stuff. Although I only follow Nixon to the extent that he's quoted on OT, as far as I'm aware, he fails to weed out as much as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_owl Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 He mentioned an interest in Ben Gibson and i know that was correct. I think he gets a fair amount right but things can change and then you look silly after calling it. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simples.

Tea Baggins Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It's when people question him and he blocks them. Bit soft is that. As long as it's constructive and not abuse then blocking is a bit childish imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred mciver Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Nixon by far best footy gossip journo, got loads right on us. Let's hope he's correct about our transformation and that this is Red Bull or others that know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Nixon does get a fair bit right and if we are doing our jobs properly we will already be in the ear of targets for next season. If the league remains a similar kettle of fish, We don’t necessarily need mega bucks just the right attitude and the right attributes as demonstrated by the current top 3.

Bang on, it’s amazing what a new manager and change in attitude can do at a club. Judt look at Leeds last season, a very ordinary looking side but this season with the new manager and not many new recruits, they look odds on to be playing top flight football next season.
