One sequel, which will probably become one of several, within today's newsletter: sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/an-easily-ex…

An easily explained Champions League last-16 enigma? PLUS: "Here we go!" - Fabrizio Romano, part II sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/an-easily-ex…

Follow-up coming up tomorrow in a piece that also looks at this week's extraordinary Champions League results. Will drop for all subscribers just after 8am UK time on Saturday.

For disappointing managerial departures, the Saddlers sacking Sadler today (Walsall’s Mat Sadler) ranks alongside Adams leaving Adams Park (Tony Adams at Wycombe), though Wolfsburg dismissing Wolfgang Wolf remains the standard.

It’s always the ones you least expect

@mrjakehumphrey @RDuffy16 I quite like David Dein. He's always been accessible, transparent, communicative. I also quite like Jake, for the same reasons, except the cringy tweets around exam results days. But we all have our (many) faults.

@RDuffy16 I did warn David Dein what he was letting himself in for. He bravely carried on regardless.

Would expect better of David Dein. Hanging around with an absolute thundercunt like Jake Humphrey should be beneath him.

Have had 20+ further tip-offs about the "journalism" of Fabrizio Romano in past 48 hours. All and any clear cut examples of FR tweeting "Here we go" and / or "exclusive" on a transfer deal where it was clearly reported before by someone else, unattributed, welcome.

"HERE WE GO!": the lowdown on "football journalist" Fabrizio Romano sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/here-we-go-t…

@LostTransport Haha! Good point well made

@sportingintel Oh for the old days of Pie Factory v Property Developer

What an FA Cup tie! One for the purists. Content Factory 2 Private Equity 3 And still everything to play for.

@JackNwoye1992 @jaytron71 @FabrizioRomano @grok The verified Facebook page with 30m followers isn't controlled by FR? facebook.com/fabrizioromano…

@jaytron71 @sportingintel @FabrizioRomano @grok they posted it on Facebook page right but Fabrizio never posted it on his Twitter account, that Facebook page is not control by Fabrizio

Hi @FabrizioRomano. Could you confirm you posted the message below on your Facebook page on 7 Feb 2023, and later deleted it? I've contacted you directly about this and other matters and have had no response. I'm writing a piece about your "journalism". Please get in touch ASAP.

@ZachMcElroy1 @harriszainul @steviedoyle08 Thanks Zach. Now fixed.

@sportingintel @harriszainul @steviedoyle08 Think you meant ‘appallingly’ here as well

Thanks for all the feedback on yesterday' piece, which of course barely scratched the surface, including re Greenwood, Jota and so much else. I also meant to include a link to this piece, which I can recommend scottishfootball.info/p/fabrizio-rom…

@harriszainul @steviedoyle08 Thanks - now also fixed!

@sportingintel @steviedoyle08 Typo here too. Good article though. Thanks for sharing.

When your own journalist heroes praise your work in public ...bloody hell that feels good. They *know* what it takes to deliver a story. They *know" the risks you take and the hoops you need to clear. So @CalvinBook, thanks so much and loads of love.

Super journalism from an actual journalist

@sportingintel @FabrizioRomano who tf are you to question Fabrizio?🚮

An excellent two-footed, studs up, lunge on the shins of football's biggest fraud Fabrizio Romano, from @sportingintel. Enjoyed every single second of reading this. Well worth reading if you follow him. sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/here-we-go-t…

@steviedoyle08 Thanks! Fixed now

@sportingintel Brilliant this mate. Just fyi, a slight typo in the below. He is a always reluctant to give any "credfit" to people who help him.

Thanks Prospero. My path to self-improvement starts here, thanks to your sage advice.
