I'm not saying it is or it isn't. Neither do you. 

I am saying that a varied party has told the BBC, that there is no reason to disbelieve.

 

There isn’t anything to say that it isn’t true, other than people not wanting to believe it is, despite the club facing a hefty points deduction if we didn’t sell.

The privately owned media I would say yes, the publicly owned media no.

 

As I said, they are not interested in click bait material or the latest transfer scoop. If anything their football coverage on the website is bland as they don’t write an article on anything without having it verified. 
 

They would likely have been told this by Liverpool, which the BBC believe is enough to make it factual and have given us the right to respond, which we don’t appear to have done.

 

There ya go.

Again, you will happily ignore a verified source of information because you don’t want to believe it to be true.

Liverpool: We were offered Anthony Gordon, we said no.

 

Newcastle: Liverpool asked about Gordon and we named our terms.

 

Agent: 

 

Fuck sake, use your brains. It's never black and white, it's always somewhere in the middle. Of course we thought about selling him, if we didn't we might have got a points deduction. Did we offer? Did Liverpool ask? Did the agent do a bit of both? 

 

The truth will never be known.

Verified? Do understand the words you are using?

The verified source is "likely have been told this by Liverpool" ?

Someone from Liverpool would know that we offered Gordon to them. Yes, that is how it works.

So you agree, the person at Liverpool could have lied, misled the press?

Obviously must be lying. In fact, we probably didn’t even have FFP problems at all. No proof.😂

You have seen his stance on everything. It’s in the stars what he will think.

I know. I'm good like that, trying to bring the stray sheep back into the flock. No saving that little lamb though.

All lies!

We may have offered him. We may not have. Liverpool may have approached. Liverpool may not have had. So let’s assume the absolute worst.

Clubs put out misinformation all the time to try and unsettle players

Everyone is telling him. He's not listening.

And I’ll remind you that the BBC actually claims that Gavrilo Princips was eating a sandwich before he shot the Archduke Ferdinand…this despite the only source being a shitty Brazilian novel from 2003, and despite the obvious fact that it would be unlikely that a Serb was eating a sandwich in Sarajevo in 1914. Given that and things like their reporting on Israel, they have had a pretty checkered track record in reporting over the last two decades.

The Athletic and the BBC, one that is usually spot on with information from inside the club and another that only posts information that has been verified have said that we put forward a deal for Gordon that involved Quansah.

 

That isn’t believing the worst, it is believing outlets you trust.

 

Understandable that people don’t want to believe it though.

As much as I love the BBC to say that it only reports verified info is a stretch.

Given my experiences with the BBC I wouldn’t exactly trust some of their sources, and not just because of what I outlined above.

Once again they go with a story from a Brazilian novel from 2003 when it comes to the event that started the Great War.
