If he has, it's a pretty stupid course of action to take. It makes him look really stupid and out of the loop, especially when EVERYONE else is talking about it being true.
I agree, it makes him look a bit daft but in the statement the club were hammering the privacy line so it's not really that surprising. He's denied everything until it's rubber stamped.
Would make more sense just to say he can't comment in that case (rather than directly contradicting the overwhelming number of reports) but I guess he'd look a bit of a t*** doing that every day.
Exactly. It would be much worse if he just didn't answer the question either way, he's definitely been instructed to deny everything imo.
While tbh that's probably good for keeping things under wraps until they happen it makes this place go insane.
