bluenose48 951 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 There seems to be a never ending stream of rumours in papers and web sites. eg re Whytes takeover bid, three days ago there was going to be an announcement within 48 hours re a firm bid, hasn't happened. Now Millers leaving in January or the summer along with McGregor. If the first rumour is true, why would Miller or McGregor be going anywhere, as there would be plenty of money to secure them both and I'm sure those in the know within the club would be telling them both to sit tight. Who actually starts them is it some scummy wee bastard in the media? because right now they are giving me the shits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan 11 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Whyte isn't going to start handing out 40 grand a week contracts so his takeover will have little bearing on McGregor staying. The more credible rumours are started by ex players or staff and passed on like wildfire. Some are simply made up by journalists on slow days.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The Chinese are the culprits, that's why they are called 'Chinese whispers' which basically means that one guy mentions something to another guy...The 2nd guy tells another guy what he THINKS he heard from the 1st guy (which is a bit different from what was initially said) so it travels down the line and ends up as nothing remotely like what was said in the first place.It's like when you tell someone a bit of news in the boozer and you tell them to keep it under their hat because it's a secret, and they say,"It's safe with me mate, I won't tell a soul!"...By the time you get home from the pub, every fucker in the street knows about it.It happens everywhere in the world and it will still be like that in centuries to come.

Frankie 505 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The Japanese are the culprits, that's why they are called 'Asian whispers' which basically means that one guy mentions something to another guy...The 2nd guy tells another guy what he THINKS he heard from the 1st guy (which is a bit different from what was initially said) so it travels down the line and ends up as nothing remotely like what was said in the first place.It's like when you tell someone a bit of news at the game and you tell them to keep it in their pocket because it's a secret, and they say,"It's safe with me mate, I won't tell a soul!"...By the time you get home from the game, every arsehole in the cul-de-sac knows about it.It happens everywhere in the world but it may change next year for the better if the Yanks and David Cameron get their way.

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Must be a piss easy job. I'd just find the players that I want us to sign (within reason, so more David Dunn or Mark Davies than Messi or Ronaldo) and start the rumour. The worst that happens is that it gets denied. The best is that somebody at the club takes an interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
