Desk note: Monexus has treated the Telegram channel as the wire source it is, a fast, fan-facing, self-flagged rumour feed, and has read against the structural backdrop of broadcast-driven Premier League spending rather than against any single named journalist. The line between rumour and reporting here is the line the channel itself drew.
