      He's a hugely injury prone player, coming 31, with a psychotic fraud of a manager, who has a precedent for limiting his minutes and/or resting/rotating him. There'll always be rumours unfortunately due to these circumstances.

                Before deadline absolutely. After deadline you can't take that player out so it influences nothing. The disappointment you get from owning that player and reading one of these comments is the only thing that affects you and if they are out anyway it will still disappoint you none the less.

                  Even after deadline? Seems unlikely to actually affect anything, only cause a bit of a hoo haa. If FG is right i'll certainly pay more attention to him in future.

                  It's tough WR because it's quite a subjective topic. Just look at the replies around here - lots of people disagree on what should happen.

                  My general view is if it happens before the deadline, you will have it removed and perhaps a short ban, which would be extended if confirmed as false. Once the deadline passes, the reaction can be softened because sometimes people genuinely have good sources.

                  All I'd say is if you post news with no source after the deadline,you are running a huge risk. Even if the source is genuine, if it turns out incorrect you will receive a lengthy ban. If you want to protect the anonymity of your source, just message Geoff or a mod and we'll work it out.

                  I can promise you we are working hard to try make the right decisions on each and every case 🙂

                  I agree. Give them a 2 year ban. But if it is true, then we should be incentivising the ITK.
