Just released a transfer reliability guide yesterday. You can check it out on my website:
https://academy.indexscholar.co.uk/transfer-reliability-guides-sort-by-club/
Has most reliable journalists for the top clubs
-
A few good ones to follow are Fabrizio Romano, Di Marzio, Mohamed Bouhafsi, Kristof Terreur plus Simon Stone and Simon Peach for Utd news

Looks nice but it's one thing for a source to be reliable... it's another for them to be timely.
If you wait for the official club announcement on the club website, it's going to be reliable as hell, but you'll have missed the trade on FI.
Maybe add an "early source" indicator. It would actually be quite valuable info, to track every journalist in a similar way that FI track MB.
Then we'd be able to look back and see who breaks the stories most frequently, with the greatest of accuracy.

@Dan-The-Man thanks for the feedback Dan. I’ll try and get that added in a future update

I figure most journalists must have an RSS feed right? They no doubt all post their articles on social media, so if they don't have RSS feeds there's probably some parsing that could be done via twitter... Doesn't sound like a 2 minute job mind. Hell, that data could probably become rather useful to the world.
Imagine if every journalist was tracked that way... with every story giving an accuracy rating, and journalists essentially having a trust pilot type score.
Is this one of those times where I'm having a "good idea" that someone has already put into practice lol.

@Dan-The-Man this is something I’m gonna look into. I was thinking about it yesterday and I also came to the conclusion that such data would have to be collected via RSS feeds or through a script which scrapes Twitter to gather the data. Definitely not something that’s a 5 minute job 😂
Don’t think it’s been done before either and I’m gonna go the extra mile and attempt to gather the info. It might take me a while though.
