can't blame Ryan Whelan for writing what he's told. He's not the BBC looking for 2 verifiable sources.
If it were the BBC he would need two sources, one saying that 7 club are looking at Hutton and another (who probably has nothing to do with Football but is high profile on SM) saying that there are not 7 players looking at Hutton.
I wouldn't big us up too much, getting scoops on an underperforming, mid-rable, 4th division teams isn't exactly a journalists dream.
This is it, football media has changed hugely in recent years at our pissy level, the local paper only seem to do it as a begrudging side thought, don't seem to have any feet on the ground (isn't it all done from Oxford or somewhere) and the BBC seem very similar.
Bluntly, there are probably only c.15-20k people in the world who give a shite what's happening at Swindon Town and for most outlets its not worth the cost or ballache, especially as clubs now engage directly with fans via the interweb, no need for Club Call these days.
This Whelan guy does seem to have contacts (he also seems particularly interested in Swindon - is he a fan or something?) and some of his stuff is good. However, he was royally miles from the mark several times over the manager thing so I must confess I take it all with a pinch of sale these days.
