Bad enough hearing it's been said on here but no chance at all of reading the full drivel by clicking on the link.Can it really be true that someone close to the boss is leaking such detail? Sacking on the spot if true but reporters can say what they like and hide behind a source that can't/won't be revealed.

Doug, they could describe you as a source close to the team, as you watch training everyday. Or they just make something up, claim it came from a source and by the time we've discussed it and talk shite have brought it up, it's become fact.

Hopefully the club takes note of which papers and reporters write continual negative drivel and make sure the exclusive interviews don't go to them. I'm not expecting the press to bury stories, but I'm getting fed up of them just inventing stuff.

That has me thinking ... Rags and 'their' papers widely believe that Jose Mourinho is going to succeed Fergie at Man United ... so at that time perhaps Mancini going to take over Italy national and Pep Guardiola over at Man City won't be such a bad thing!
