It's not even the agents, it's just the media. That United story is close to a week old now just when one popular United account gets a hold of it it spreads again.
Palmerias' manager confirmed the Pep call, there's been nothing legit about this United business. And nobody is asking the question, why have a special release clause that's been widely reported if you're just going to bid like the rest? Wouldn't you just activate your special release clause and then get a similar phone call to agree to everything else?
