We have renewed the Rumours and Transfers and from now on it will be known as The Reporter.
New changes:
You have the section divided into rumours and pieces of news. You can add photos to the news and rumours. If look carefully, each news that contains an image will have a small icon next to it referring to the image.
Classification of news and rumours:
The classification of news and rumours will be based on two criteria: number of votes and ancestry. The latest and the most voted news and rumours will be displayed on the top. If for example you observe that at the end of one week a news or rumour a lot of votes goes below another article with less votes it will be because it is not so new. In any case you can choose between looking at it in this order, only the latest, the most commented on or only news or rumours.
How do I upload a news?
Inside the section, on the left you will find the "Upload news" botton.

Manchester City Football Club is at the centre of plans, believed to be worth £1bn, to redevelop a 200-acre site around its Eastlands home.
The scheme will transform one of the poorest areas of the city and create hundreds of jobs. The club is believed to be planning a training complex on unused land near the stadium as part of the scheme. It will look into the viability of extending the stadium's current 48,000 capacity as part of the redevelopment.
Manchester City has signed an agreement with the city council and regeneration body New East Manchester to develop the project. As well as developing the club's global profile, the focus will be on regenerating the area around its home.
"Manchester City has been and always will be at the heart of the community it serves in the city of Manchester," said City chief executive Garry Cook. The longer-term considerations for the area reflect the long term commitment of our owners to the club and the community it serves."
The first phase of the development will involve a market place-style fan zone, on Joe Mercer Way, the current approach to the stadium. Further plans are yet to be decided but the proposals tie in with the council's hope to create the "nationally-significant destination" earmarked for the area since the abandonment of the super-casino. Sir Richard Leese, council leader, said the combined strength of the club and council would act as an "engine of economic growth" in the area.
"From the securing of the Metrolink tram system to the building of world class sporting facilities in and around Sportcity, there has already been real vision in creating a sustainable future for east Manchester. The City of Manchester Stadium has also been a credit to the city and this further investment will enable local people who can work to work, will give our young people the best possible start in life and will make east Manchester a place in which to work, invest, live and visit."
A Metrolink stop is set to be incorporated at the Sport City site - to be called Central Park - as part of the current expansion of the tram network. Work on a £19m national BMX centre at the Sportcity site, which will also create jobs and attract visitors, is already under way.
Officials signed to agree the deal on Thursday
