I'm posting this as I think some people may find it interesting.
In FourFourTwo, the issue with January on the front, had quite a comprehensive round-up of the transfer window. Part of that was assessing which newspapers were the most reliable.
Now I do stress that this is based on the "resolved rumours since the end of the 07-08 season." So, here goes;
Newspaper, Correct Rumours Total Accuracy
1) Daily Record = 137, 430, 31.86%
2) The Guardian = 88, 306, 28.76%
3) The Herald = 16, 58, 27.59%
4) Times = 169 653 25.88%
5) Independent = 91 365 24.93%
6) Daily Mail = 255 1059 24.08
7) The Sun = 352 1525 23.15
8) Daily Express = 173 761 22.73
9) Scotsman = 5 20 20.00
10) Daily Star = 253 1284 19.70
11) Daily Mirror = 515 2619 19.66
12) Daily Telegraph = 52 271 19.19
13) NOTW = 118 886 13.32
14) People = 68 547 12.43
