Wasn't the AVB at risk rumours much more substantiated? No quotes, but there were news articles from much more reliable journalists and there had been talk of friction between AVB and other club employees for some time iirc.
Even if it had been a very similar situation for the sake of argument I don't see how one speculative article being right means that we should trust another speculative article. Even a broken watch is right twice a day and all that.
Agreed, I don't think we can necessarily trust it. All I'm saying is I think people are very quick to say 'No quotes = ********' when we've had stories recently, such as Glenn Hoddle being considered when AVB was still here, to be proven to be pretty much on point despite no quotes.
I don't know if there is any truth in this one, but my personal opinion is it has come from somewhere. An argument about the appointment of a chief scout is hardly a money spinner for a paper to make up.
