    As it has now gone 5.30 pm on Friday, and you suggested the reveal was on Thursday, what has happened?

    The above two posts are huge teases, and with a very long drum roll!

    Nothing at all, not even the kit reveal (I am sure the club will want to start selling replica merchandise).

    I am not sure what your source actually is, but if you can make a couple of very strong comments, which have come to nowt, then perhaps you or your source can provide an explanation?

    Personally I welcome your insight, it is good to have ‘in the know’ comments, but on this occasion it has been a very big let down.

    Look forward to an update, that will actually com to fruition.

    This is the reason why fans are restless this week. If the ITK's had not mentioned anything at the begining of the week, I think most would be relaxed and just a bit more patient for signings to be announced.

    Or they have to sign NDAs as part of the employment agreement, to ensure they don’t leak.

    I don’t think it’s that serious. It’s a rumours thread after all. I think everyone just needs to take what Bradford End says with a pinch of salt and move on. The signings will come when they come.

    It’s not so much ITK fans as speculation is what transfer rumours site is all about, but fairly reliable reporter Peter O’ Rourke announced on Tuesday that we had agreed all terms with Barnsley midfielder Adam Phillips and the deal was imminent. Then expecting an official announcement all we get is that we’ve sold our star midfielder to Millwall and ripped out our entire defensive midfield players. Then nothing but silence from the club all week. Maybe key personal are on holiday and a big spectacular announcement will be made next week but it’s extremely frustrating for fans.

    I'm sure there are lots of cogs whirring behind the scenes. Don't forget that potential incomings may well be dependent on potential outgoings. It's a very difficult balancing act that all clubs have to negotiate. There may be offers for our players and if they happen it changes the dynamic for our potential incomings. Let's just leave it to those doing those negotiations and see where we end up.

    Bradford end has penned himself as the resident Itk but they are as hit and miss as everyone else who posts rumours. He just says it with more conviction but it’s still the same gossip.

    It’s potentially because we’ve had a great player all but confirmed by the usually reliable Peter O’Rourke, but because it hasn’t been officially announced we’re all worried it will fall through.
