The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th June 2013

[WestBelfast Spurs]

Dan G on COYS

My mate works for the company that runs the Spurs website and apparently there is/was going to be a big announcement at 2pm.

Just tried to check now, but the site is down.... (403 Forbidden). Hmmmmmm.

I have no idea if this is something boring and trivial and purely an announcement relating to the site (like a new website) layout, or if it's something more exciting.

Anyway, just thought I would pass on!

new kit? hope so my birthday day is coming up I want it for then (big kid)

Who is lookslikemodric?

Fella who did that big who's who club rundown the other day. Posts on ja606 forum. ITK status unconfirmed, but some of it rings true.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

How nice would it be if the announcement was a completely left field signing we had no idea about.

the OS is going to get hit with people f5'ing the shit out of it now

Rob, is it only amazon.uk that is the affilate? is there a way to link to the us site? i can't shop at the uk one, but i can (and do) at the us one.

Just the UK site I'm afraid :-(

To keep it so secret that even the media don't know about it, would be a big achievement.

Buyout clauses are actually a legal requirement in some countries (Spain for definite, Messi has one of circa £1b Portugal possibly), in the grand scheme of things they mean little though.

god id love it to be a new bale contract

 

[chrissivad]

I have no idea what the OS is doing though. Its just seems strange to have to take your website down to make an announcement.
They could have hit a splash screen to get people's attention if it was the kit or a signing (never seen them take the website down before we announce a signing either)

Can only think its a re design. Re uploading the new images and coding and had to take everything else down first... (im sure they could have done it to load everything on the server and then upload and replace the web pages at the end...)

 

[Lilbaz]

Sponsorship probably.

 

[codspur]

One of the best suggestion on COYS was :

they're going to announce that they're no longer going to bother having a website.

we're now seeing the flaw with that announcement.

 

[vdv112]

Probably just server maintenance.

 

[Yid-ol]

When was that posted on COYS? as its an hour and quarter after it was meant to have what ever it was meant too.

 

[kcmei]

That rumor alone is enough to take the site down

I suspect it's more likely that the Summer intern has accidentally pressed the 'fuck everything up' button.

 

[dagraham]

Messi on a pre-contract agreement I reckon....

On another note, I can't believe I've been a member of this site for 8 years and only just found out about the Amazon thing. Rob would've been a millionare by now.

2:59pm

Yep, to get the site ready for a couple of big signings

Damn I'm feeling optimistic today

 

[Rob]

I despair how much of a joke the guys who run our website are :-(
