Editorial standards

Accuracy before speed

Check facts against primary sources where possible. Attribute quotations and make the origin of information clear.

Reporting, analysis and speculation

Label unconfirmed reports and distinguish them from verified developments. Do not turn transfer rumours into statements of fact.

Corrections and updates

Correct substantive errors transparently. Record meaningful updates with an updated date and an explanation in the article.

Independence

Keep commercial relationships separate from editorial judgments and disclose relevant conflicts. Clearly identify advertising and sponsored content.

Demo edition

All six launch samples are labelled DEMO. They must never be presented as current football developments.
