You've just got to read between the lines.
Maybe someone at the club told the head coach what to say when asked after it had been internally discussed at the club. If to some this boils down to the head coach not saying the right words when answering a question by a local journo and therefore misleading the fans, then I'd suggest we are missing the bigger (alleged) story here regarding a certain player.
Thankfully this seems to have been firmly put to bed last week by all the key players involved even if some fans want to try and keep it going.
