There's a difference between people not knowing about it and not reporting it. Look at Steven Gerard scandal that never hit the press. Giggs kept his scandal from the press for a good six months.6 players,4 clubs and Argentina.......and only this fuckin idiot on twitter knows about it........NOBODY else.
BOLLOCKS.
On the other hand I'm sure some of the regular posters on here who are close to the club would have got a whiff of this before some guy in Australia. The fact only he's said it does make me think it's probably bullshit
