FLW to me seems more like someone who tried to set something up out of uni and realised how hard it is to make a career in sports journalism (part of why I never bothered trying!). Most of their stuff is opinion made to look like fact, it's pretty standard clickbait stuff. They seem to have tapped into smaller fan content creators (podcasts, vlogs etc) who they think might be useful. As they grow they might start getting some people who have more contacts, seems they were bang on with both Luton sacking Edwards and (probably) hiring Bloomfield so they clearly have someone there. You're right they'll probably get AI involved at some point if they haven't already.
For now when it comes to transfers Cawley is usually reliable (although definitely seems less active this season?), O'Rourke and Darren Witcoop often have some truth behind it but aren't gospel and everything else needs a very very large pinch of salt. Only Cawley is likely to be being briefed from our side the majority of the time. The Clucas rumour for example was most likely his agent using us as there's a link to NJ4 -

Whether it's good or bad I think there's less stuff coming from the clubs "unofficial sources"0

Don't really buy that. Stuff gets out agents talk to press etc...

PR comms agencies work in a very similar way.Twas but a comment in jest at Pete's expense.But in all honesty I don't read any of his stuff, and am not ever likely to. It has been quite some time since we have had any decent journalism.1 -

Can rule out a regular name that's appeared on countless transfer threads over the years , Marcus Browne has joined AFC Wimbledon.

Now he’s playing in the Persian Gulf Pro League this will be the first window for a long time with no mention of Mo Eisa.
Shame. I thought he was a sure banker to join at some point.6 -
