The twitter account was passed onto someone else and they ruined it and posted the digs, i don't think the majority wanted it to pan out that way as it kinda killed it and we could have had a bit more fun with it..

I said earlier i wonder if sky would turn up if we got 100 hundred people to stand outside the ricoh!

You really needed some cov insiders!

PGA. Really good efforts. I take my hat off to every one of you. Just wish you hadn't picked us to embarrass especially as morale at the club is quite high right now. Really impressive and it's amazing what a couple of tweets can achieve. Sorry we didn't make national press on a relatively quiet deadline day. Good luck next time...

Fair enough, one twat always spoils it for the rest....

believe we had people from the telegraph retweeting it and a big forum post like yours, ended kind of the same.. quite a while ago to remember the exact ins and outs, but was hilarious that someone had posted the frankie thing in here..

 

[mattylad]

would you like to be explained who PGA are? Feel free to post my email address like you did ashleys, would also enjoy if you could sign me upto gay porn! Love that stuff...

PGA - Professional Gambling Advice. We are a betting syndicate that is responsible for making bookies go to the extent they put moles into our group to try and stop us gambling because we are that good.. Last window we set up the whole Frankie Hullett Crystal Palace story and this window we did Kurt Drago, for the possibility of trying to get it on skysports. While we may have failed that the last 1 and this 1 have been humourous to say the least and unfortunately it was you who were all duped into considering this to be fact. While some have had a great sense of humour regarding it and realised that it was well constructed and believable and taken it in their stride, the responses some of you have posted on here like the guy hoping he dies and stuff, make it even better because it's a perfect reaction.. The group has over 500 people, but there were really only about 10-20 who played a part and some more than others who they deserve the real credit...

Any questions i'll feel free to answer them <3

Hey if you dont mind your email being given out just post it :jerkit:

You will have our local paper after a big scoop off you in a week or so

Cheers for coming on here and explaining. Have to say I wasn't sure what the point of the fake was but now think its quite funny. Shame you couldn't have kept it going longer though! Think if we were in the Championship still you would have had a chance of making Sky Sports but they would rather keep telling us all about Balotelli.

To be fair chris samba to qpr is the main signing, quite a crap ending!

 

[PGA]

Has he really? i've not even paid much attention to it myself, i'm a pompey fan so transfer deadlines mean very little to me these days

 

[oakey]

Was it for this that the clay grew tall?

 

[Houchens Head]

Well of course, no-one was fooling ME!!





*Anyone wanna buy a City Top with DRAGO on the back?*

 

[CTID]

Haha I saw that tweet ages ago and dismissed it as a fake instantly, had no idea so much effort was put into it. Good effort, still confused as to why cov? And why some 2nd tier Maltese player, but worked to some extent I guess.

 

[Nick]

To be fair, where were edge and malaga from when we got them?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Gave it away when he said he was going training tomorrow when we have a fixture

Was quite a good hoax but didn't really take off, at most it was an internet rumour/hearsay. Never made it on to any media sites or into our local news etc.

Was hilarious seeing Linnell tweet it though after most of us had realised it was fake

Maybe his friends on the inside who give him his info were feeling mean?

Didn't Linnel do the same last year? Tweeting about Crainie going to Leeds with info from the fake Hussey Twitter?

Fair play

Had me going there for a while!

Nice to have a bit of humour on transfer deadline day! (Of course Samba to QPR for 12.5 million is comedy gold in itself lol)

A really appreciate a good hoaxs when its done right and done well

I dont know the guy so he is more than likely a decent fella but why bang on about being close to the inside and his special sources and then do things like that

Lets face it, there are lots of people who do that on here, snoz, darknight etc, all full of bollocks though.

Gives them a feeling of power to pretend they have the inside track and have people hanging on their every word.

True, to be fair to snozzer he did pm me info before it became public!

"Watch this space"!

He tried to say last year that we could have had Ranger here on loan last December, and the only reason that we didn't was that nobody from our board would answer the phone from Thorn for three days or so.

Nice story, but had to point out to him that Ranger had gone back to Newcastle early from loan mid-December as he was injured and going to be out for three months.

When he was fit gain in March he went on loan to Sheff Weds.

Not denying he may be given information from some sort of insiders that he thinks is genuine, but often mis-information to fit somebodys agenda.

Which of course is lapped up by some of our gullible fans, especially if it agrees with any pre-conceptions already in place.

Another option is them being fed false info so people can block the leaks as it were!

Very Spooks!

Very Spooks!

You know it!

I wonder if the cet will comment on this today?

"Coventry city targetted by hoax gang"

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

We should spin it back the other way and all club together and bring him to Cov. Would be quite funny us all getting our man afterall. We can then decide after if he's shit or not.

Stuart Linnell MBE ‏@Stuart_Linnell 12mins ago

The false twitter account saying that Kurt Drago has signed for Coventry City was apparently set up by a Leicester City fan. #pusb
So the Maltese footballer Kurt Drago has not signed for Coventry City. The rumours have been traced to a false twitter account.

 

[Waldorf]

I've got no particular brief for Linnell, but did none of you notice the "face palm" emoticon at the end of his post? Who's the idiot?

Re: Ranger I can promise you that story is totally legit as it came from Mr Thorn himself! What I may have got wrong in re-telling the story are the timescales around it

It wasn't during the January window then?

Legit in that it is what Thorn told you, though maybe not legit in it being the full truth?

 

[Snozzer]

I can only tell you what I was told but certainly didn't get the impression I was being told porkies, he seemed genuinely peed off at the whole mess.

Are you now saying as well as fat bold clown clueless. We are going to start calling Andy thorn a liar?

When will this rubbish end?
