*Funny how things on the internet get accepted as fact when they are no such thing. My point being that if the club is to be accused of lying, then the evidence should at least be something that ACTUALLY came from the club.
As for the rest, have you never said what you are going to try and do but it didn't work out, or something you wanted to happen and it didn't? Check back on the video of CW in last summers transfer window when we had deals lined up, and they fell at the last minute. Is it our fault that they didn't come off? Anywhere on the line from, 'Absolutely Not' to 'Defintely Yes'. Were lies told about them? No, of course they weren't. Trying to make that connection is just crass. That's just too many years spent being grumpy cynical owd sods.
