I don't get the build up to this?, if you're gonna do it, then just do it?....all seems far too 'staged'
I hope it's not a wind up and whoever it is, encourages others in the game to come out and speak up
like others though, the cynic in me still doubts this is genuine
I assume that the longer this goes on, it becomes more about 'who it is' rather than 'what his sexual preferences are'.
I'd probably agree with you, but Jim White has already come out (poor choice of words) and said he knows the player. Whilst we have first hand experience of Jim chatting shit, he surely wouldn't say that unless this situation was genuine?
He didn’t say he knew him - he said he had ‘correspondance’ which suggests written communication (ie on social media perhaps)..... suggests to me that’s just messaging from the account

Ah fair enough then, i assumed they'd actually spoken.
I’ve believed it to be real right up to this point. I can’t say exactly what has changed my mind but reading this latest ‘update’ it feels more and more like waiting to hear the takeover has happened.
That statement isn't your average footballer thing, it is either a hoax, an educated footballer or their agent did that.
After reading that I can't help but think that it is somebody that works in the media or something similar that is gay themselves and trying to lay the groundwork to make others feel safe to come out. We will know soon enough I guess, as if no big reveal happens in the next few weeks it is not real.
If you were worried about making the announcement, which any normal person would be in this case, you would definitely make it a week or so prior to the football starting so the idiots in the crowd hopefully would get used to it prior to the season's start.
Those who are so eager to find out exactly who the player is - Is this because you think the quicker the better for his sake and the sake of the LGBT cause, or are you just intrigued to know who he is asap in a voyeuristic kind of way? Ive not read any of his Twiiter, but I can't help but think that it comes over as more the later and so much pressure would have the adverse effect on the decision. If this is genuine, I think, let the bloke have his meetings, sort his personal life out, then make a statement or whatever.

Maybe he is the person that’s going to takeover and wants to announce both things at the same time!

IMHO I don’t think people are really interested in who it is. It will be good for football if a player does come out but no one is forcing anyone to do this. The hype and build up has been created by the player themselves. Yes have meetings and sort out your life but you don’t have to keep tweeting. This is why I’m now thinking it’s a hoax.

What, like coming out out?
It’s Micky Flanagan?
Mike, being signed up by Bowyer as he scores goals and they have something in common.
I’m vaguely interested purely because it’s currently a mystery... and like most mysteries the answer will likely be underwhelming.
I can see why some of you think it’s a hoax - at best it’s all become a bit self-indulgent. As if the chairman of any club was going to pull a Jack Hennerty - this isn’t some two bit nipple peep show in Rio De Janeiro!

I’m starting to think it’s a hoax

Guessing we’ll soon see if it’s real.
Apparently a Norwich player will also come out this week.
Or that will turn out to be about something completely different and it will be dragged out further.
Would be funny if a different/real player came out without all this build up before this twitter account does.
Be interesting to see on Wednesday if I am right at all.
That statement doesn't sound like he plays for us.
