Given how long and painful it's been, I struggle to believe they'd hold up announcing it just for a photo op.

Or that it wouldn't be leaked to someone more reputable than Huang Kad.

I think you're being a tad unfair. Given how utterly batshit crazy the past 2 years have been, Huang Kad has been one of the more reliable and measured sources.

And given how utterly batshit crazy the past 2 (ok, 13) years have been, I don't begrudge Couhig announcing it with a oxf*rd huge fanfare either.

That's he's been on HNA? and copied EPK's homework.

Except there was never any rumour of it being signed then, just "awaiting Dai's signature", although I appreciate you've been resolutely glass half empty throughout.

I have thought Huang might be Charles Watts. He’s been right at times and I hope he is this time.

Should be announced within a few days. Couhig's team are flying in this week.

Waited 4 years until this day! Wanted Dai out for so long.

That doesn't mean he's reputable though. He's an anonymous twitter handle. Not the same as a proper journalist putting their name next to the story.

The stadium will be rocking on Saturday if it is done. Regardless of what happens on the pitch and league table.

Well I’m just going to take HKs news at face value. In this relentless digital age in the post truth era sometimes you just need a little faith; I’d just like to say a hearty Fukk yeah! And fukk you, Dai fukking Yonge. May your days in jail be long and plentiful, muthafukka! URRZZZ!

Yeh, his exclusives are always slightly behind EPK. Just bad timing I guess.

On balance, he's got more right than wrong which makes him a lot more reputable than our current batch of local journalists. He's competing with Gymshark and Yermas Dildo.

Even if he is just parroting EPK on here rather than being genuinely ITK, why aren't our local journalists doing that? And herein lies a problem. When local journalism is so resolutely on its arse, you turn to any unofficial source that shows a better than even track record.

Maybe EPK has more than one alias.

And people mostly only remember the stuff he got right, most of which was guessable or rumoured elsewhere first.

And local journalism is on its arse because everyone wants instant rumour, not researched and fact checked news

Local journalism's been on its arse for 20 years, mainly because of cost cutting by publishers.

Independent bloggers, vloggers and podcasts are able to provide decent content, not sure why publishers can't.
