Good morning/afternoon/evening carefree, wherever you may be!
It is once again time for us to update the transfer and news source guide. For those of you who are newer, this is where we – as a community – provide suggestions and ultimately vote on the credibility of sources and news outlets when it comes to footballing information, particularly when it comes to transfers.
As a preliminary step, I want to take some time to allow you to offer suggestions for the next post, which will be the poll itself. This could either be someone new or someone existing that you think deserve an increase or decrease in their tier ranking. If you can, please provide examples that you think reflect their credibility or lack thereof .
As a general reminder:
- Tier 1 is the most reliable. That does not mean they are never wrong, but you could pretty much assume that anything they post is well sourced
- Tier 2 is mostly reliable. They may occasionally get a few details wrong, but would still get the vast majority of a story correct. That may sound harsh, but T1 needs to be considered the best of the best
- Tier 3 is unreliable. They may get wind of an early lineup or injury from time to time, but most of their postings are wrong or so broad that it can be spun as accurate. Rumors can be fun, but leave T3's in the Daily Discussion Threads
- Tier 4 is outright banned. Usually these are Twitter in-the-knows or tabloids that assault your eyes with ads on their pages like Homer's website. These should not be given the time of day

I propose putting Sami Mokkbel in Tier 4. It’s got nothing to do with his transfer reporting but about the shockingly bigoted, downright disgusting reporting about the Tuchel appointment as England manager.
Seriously, fuck that guy.
