Prime example from Chris McLaughlin http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42219763:
Has he always been keen on the job? Yes.
No evidence to back it up, just a downright assertion as if it was fact. He knows fine well that will just stir the sh!t up even more.

Now that statement may or may not be true, but I'd be very surprised if McInnes had told him it, and he could use it on the record. It can only cause McInnes trouble

If someone went around telling the world I wanted to leave my current employer for a rival, I'd have my lawyer onto the case.
