Just wondering what this thing is. I thought it was 3 or 4 Stoke fans who try and get info by hanging around the car park, making contacts and such. Is this right? Why have you launched this "brand" kind of thing? Do you make any money from it? Do you have day jobs? Are they related to sport or journalism? I've got no angle or agenda on you at all, just curious. It's a very interesting phenomenon.

I too am equally curious.
However the way I predict this one will go is several folks will jump right in with both feet before anyone answers and lampoon SL&P.
This will put them on the defensive and they will come out swinging which means there will be no sensible answer to your question.

They have jobs and they get good info from other people. More often than not, their info is correct.
The pics from CW are sent to them by others.

they are obviously massive stoke fans and it seems to me they just do it for the love of stoke so fair play to them.

SL&P are made up of a group of massive stoke fans who all have jobs.
None of us sit down Clayton wood with binoculars and we do what we do because we love bringing the info we get to the fans.
All the pics from CW are sent by people who have the spare time to go down a see what's happening, if we get info that something is happening then we will get in touch with them to see if they can get down and get photo evidence.
Non of us get paid for running SL&P and we just try and bring you the best info that is out there by wading through the shit that is posted online by getting verification off people we know as to what is real and what is just agent talk.
Some say we only post what is on twitter, 90% of the time it is on twitter first but so is a lot of other links to stoke, you just have to ask yourself is to why we only post some of the rumours, it's because we have only posted the ones that are real.

Well if he's a scout then Cartwright needs sacking. Instantly Cartwright has very many friends around the world that can make contact with the players we want. If any need to go it won't be Cartwright, but Scholes is like by the family as he is a very good accountant, which is good for them, not good for the fans |

If that's the case, the lot of them should be sacked. |

If my understanding is correct I actually know Marc, and I know his info (if it's the person I'm lead to believe) is correct, or as close as it's going to be.

Scholes was reported to have met with Sampdoria officials in the media. I'm pretty sure tying that in with a game does not mean he is taking on the chief of scouting role.
Also, if I had his job, which he keeps pretty much solely based on how well the club does, which is mostly down to what players the club owns then I'd want to see them in the flesh before sanctioning a multi million pound deal.
I can't imagine a prominent board member passing judgement on the most important financial transaction of the business in any other walk of life being questioned. Surely it's just common sense?

He does and was at Sampdoria recently scouting Eder Fuck me an accountant that thinks we play at Deepdale scouting European talent. The only conclusion is that the whole operation is a complete fucking circus and the Chimps are in charge. |

Thanks Marc. Did you all know each other before SL&P? Why on earth did you decide to "brand" yourself as a kind of news source? You don't get paid but do you for instance drive any online revenue? How do you vet your sources, what makes them more reliable than randomers on the Oatcake? Do you attend press conferences? Are you invited by the club - is the club aware of SL&P as I kind of citizen media outfit? I really do just find it fascinating, sorry for the interrogation! Sent from my Nexus 5 using proboards |

Oh, and do you know what Davesviews was all about?
EDIT: Thought of more questions. How many inside sources do you have at the club? Are they personal friends or more like traditional journalistic contacts? Do they ever leak information to you without it being requested? Are they, for example, an email or text message away, or do you have to meet them on the top deck of a multi storey car park?

We did not start as a brand of news, we just evolved as we started getting info that was not in the public eye. We get told lots of little bits of info from different sources, it's when we collate it all together we can see there is a common theme and it not just a random bit of rubbish. So if one person tells you something you are inclined not to believe it, but if 100 people all tell you the same thing you would be more inclined to say what they say is correct |
