Pretty much the most unreliable source - because there is no source.
HITC is staffed by a bunch of kids that have studied useless Sports Journalism degrees and can't use them to get sports newspaper jobs.
Around 400 of them graduate from UK universities every year to find that open sports newspaper jobs are rare as rocking horse poo, are getting rarer as titles close, and those who hold them seldom if ever vacate them.
This forces them either to get a proper paying job in another profession or join these shit fanzine outfits.
Their job is to invent "content" for unaffiliated fanzines that pay them peanut revenue generated by Pay Per Clicks.
Content is not news, it is emotive subjective bullshit designed to get revenue clicks.
Ritchie is an ex-player, this is low hanging fruit.
We click, author gets paid, author deludes themself for another day that they are a journalist working in sport, author writes more tomorrow.
