[Archived] Nicko's January Rumour Mill

[Brownie]

Seeing as no-one else will start one off, I've had enough searching through 5 or 6 topics to find posts from our own personal journalist.

Please tell us about the transfers that will shake the football world to its foundations on this thread, Nicko.

Isnt that a line from a Depeche Mode song?

Very nearly. Great song too.

brilliant idea - shame its already cluttered by chit chat hence defeating the object of your post

and yes, i do realise the irony of what i am writing (cluttering the thread further...)

Why didn't you just PM Nicko?

isn't the idea that every user can read & share the info

otherwisenicko will have 2000 pm's a day

Because otherwise we'll just get what you described. Another cluttered topic with people frantically looking for nicko tidbits.

Hamlet without the Prince?

[ABBEY]

so now we have another transfer thread..great

[LeChuck]

This topic really, really isn't needed.

If nicko has transfer rumours regarding ourselves, we have a topic for that. If it's about other Premiership teams we have a topic for that also. I don't understand how lumping everything in here helps anyone, it just becomes a mess with several different topics being discussed at once, with a silly amount of posts every day.

Because Nicko's thread was the best and only thread worth reading whilst he was posting all his info on his own thread. Surely he deserves such a thread.

In my opinion 95% of the other rumours is rubbish.

Have one thread for Nicko, being the only one most of us will read, and one thread for poster's favourite Champ Man players and other journo's rumours.

I sometimes dont have the time to look through 6 threads trying to find where Nicko has posted and making sure I havent missed one.

What is the problem with having one decent thread ?

[T4E]

None at all Brownie. It serves a good purpose, particularly as you cannot now search an individual posters most recent comments.

[LeChuck]

This topic become so unreadable in the summer that there had to be a 'news ticker' pinned at the top of the forum, but only a handful of people were prepared to contribute to it and it eventually fell behind. Trying to get any sense out of nicko's thread became impossible. The problem is that people will ask nicko a million and one different questions here, it won't just be transfer rumours.

Still, I suppose the advantage of nicko's thread is that it will keep all the morons* that will temporarily reside here in January in one place, rather than polluting them across the board.

*Not a reference to anyone here, I don't believe any of them that posted last summer have resurfaced yet.

[yoda]

why not have a nicko thread that only nicko can post on, and a supplementary thread for members to post questions for nicko?

Wrong tip on Leeds United job on some thread yesterday...been updated.

Your old boy Simon Grayson has the job if they can sort out the compo.

[LeChuck]

I had a dream last night that Ince got the job. Seems like the sort of appointment Bates would go for as well...I wonder if he's in the running at all?

With odds of 1/10 I think I'll give it a miss

[philipl]

Does Tony Parkes end up at Elland Road or does he get the Blackpool caretaker gig?

[Scotty]

I thought the messageboard had got back to something like how it used to be recently. Quite why Nicko (or anyone else) has to be treated as a special case and have his own thread is beyond me. Can he not simply post in the appropriate thread, or start a new one if necessary, just like the rest of us do?

Surprise surprise...

Because otherwise we have "Nicko-teens" in every thread asking him things and then we'll have 100 "Nickos threads".

[tcj_jones]

While I very much value Nicko's contributions, I'm inclined to agree. It was great over the summer reading what he had to say, but his thread became simply unreadable. I'm sure the guy won't mind picking and choosing the appropriate threads relevant to what he has to say and post it there.

It's very frustrating reading God knows how many pages of 'are we signing this player, Nicko?'.

[vintageadidas]

It starts AGAIN!

Why dont we just meet down Witton Park and sort this sh** out once and for all. No tools though!

Pro Nicko V Nicko Haters

I'm up for it!
