It’s official, The People, have the lowest conversion rate in terms of transfer stories they report on. It actually works out a measly 12.43% accuracy. Which means that 87.57% of the time, the stories they report are absolute bollocks! So expect the old ‘Drogba to Inter Milan’, ‘Maradona to Arsenal’ and ‘Kaka to Citeh’ – well they’d never get away with the last one!
