From the response (but no realise answer to my query) it appears that COT did not want to confirm or deny the answer to your clue to protect their sources

Oh well you are obviously not going to answer my simple question are you a politician ? 😇

I just cannot understand how they can "protect their sources" by giving out cryptic clues which are solvable by persons cleverer than me. I am sure Turkish and the other COT members have a simple answer and I am a bit surprised they have not clambered to explain. I could go around in circles regarding trust but the simple answer is surely there and I welcome it. They must all have been busy with their sources for the last 23hrs.

Sorry to be difficult Turkish but if the COT is to be respected surely you could answer my query?

Watching KWP yesterday, after the game, was I the only one who thought he was waving goodbye? He went further around the pitch than anyone else clapping all the fans and made a point of handing his shirt to a fan near the halfway line. I got the feeling that a move in this window is in the offing. Although I would hate to lose him I cannot not see him staying after the end of the season so wouldn't getting some money for him now make good sense for the club?

However you did not answer my query. If people answer the clues correctly surely the name, you will not post directly, is in the public domain? So that would not protect the source which your cryptic clues are supposed to? You know loose lips sinks ships so how does that work when, although posted cryptically, you are putting the name subject etc. in the public domain?

Just a query ? Regarding the disclosure of the sources I do not understand how it differentiates between coming straight out with the player's name, information etc. or a cryptic clue that people solve and put the name out there anyway? If the cryptic clue is too hard so the information, player etc. cannot be identified until after an official announcement, that could lead to people thinking that the explanation of the cryptic clue is adaptable and then adjusted to the name. Must be a hard job being in the know.

With the take over at Everton completed I wouldn't be surprised to see them sack Dyche and take Moyes back. I cannot see him coming to us.

This is what the Echo said about Rusk - "Quick attacking would be a change if he can pull it off Rusk's under-21s like to get to retain possession but aim to get the ball forward quickly. They often attempt balls in behind for their pacy forwards or ask them to drive with the ball. Speaking to the Daily Echo earlier this season, Rusk explained: “Quick attacking on the turnover is a big part of the modern game. "We want to dominate possession but we also want to dominate on transitions.”

I am a bit miffed at the posters defending the ref. Ok he may have made reasonable decisions and booked 4 of our players in the first half however he seemed to miss the 3 or 4 occasions when Leicester players went through ours to get the ball that used to be a foul? Also it was interesting to see Leicester take about 3 minutes over a free kick when they were obviously waiting for the injured player to get back on and they were not rushed or yellow carded (as Sugarwara was). There were other times the trainer/medical staff came on and only 2 minutes extra time. Some may say that at 2 nil up the officials did not want us to get another goal before half time but played at the end until Leicester scored. I have been a season ticket holder (job permitting) for over 60 years and this referee is the worst I have ever seen. Some people may say we whinge because we lost but even at 2 nil up at half time I was sharing his incompetence with my son who totally agreed. I am afraid Martin thought he could succeed at what Kompany failed to do and if we have any chance of staying up we need a new manager with more than one dimension and some idea about substitutions. I did not like the way Lallana left but I think he could have steadied the ship and was bewildered that he stayed on the bench.

Just got home I hate Vardy he changed the game when he took out Sugawara and then we had the incompetent substitutions we are all used to. I cannot talk about the referee he was absolutely atrocious I wouldn't be surprised in years to come to hear that some referees were bought by some clubs. They should have had just a many yellows as us but he seemed to think that a Leicester playing going through the back of a player to get the ball was ok. They waste about three minutes over a free kick when they had a player injured off the pitch and no cards, then we get a card for a delay over a throw in. (Surely he has seen that we have no clue about throw ins 😁) The only way we are staying up is the bring someone in like Graham Potter and do it quick.

Sky Sports reporting Cornet deal is done

I'd welcome JWP back as he always played best when further forward and a scored a few goals especially from free kicks. His goal contribution may be a great bonus at the end of the season.

Probably something to do with us being the first team Newcastle play when the season starts and he doesn't want to be shown up. The transfer window will be still open after.

Yes do not forget we are not Man City 😃
