Whitejock, given our recent transfer dealings (2-3 years) and current public statements made by Bates, does this really seem far-fetched to you?
To be honest jonny, no. I'm actually as suspicious as the next guy (in fact, given my history, probably more so). As I mentioned on another thread this evening, all my life I have been trained to challenge everything & assume nothing. This is what I do, and I will never bend to speculation. Fact is fact for me.
I agree, and actually do, but generally keep my own counsel. Some do, but quite often seem to relate it as fact. Then they bombard others with these 'facts'. A lot.
It was Phil Hay, who is about as much a Leeds United fan as you or I and who isn't known to say anything he can't back up.
Phil Hay???Is that the same Phil Hay that reported today that "sources" claimed we did not have the money for Ward, without mentioning they were from Ipswich?? A poor journalist in my opinion & the single reason I no longer purchase the Yorkshire Evening Post.
3 different sources, I don't know where you're getting this Ipswich stuff from. Possibly one of them is from Ipswich. What exactly do Ipswich gain by claiming we can't get together a transfer fee if it's not true?
