Did you later get into an unconvincing fist fight with a "heavy" who disparagingly called you "Bootlace" before telling you all the details of the crime he committed after you got him in an arm-lock?

Literally nothing I'm sure he's fed little bits to prepare us and to gauge reaction Errr, so even though he is wrong 90 percent of the time its still good info? I'm sure he is fed nothing.

We don’t know that anything’s he’s said is true The club clearly wanted to do their business privately for whatever reason, though I agree they probably could have given fans a couple of updates just to clear up some rumours.

MarcusX Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 2 hours ago, Portland Bill said: Re your last sentence, I’m beginning to seriously wonder about this. False information on Korey Smith, still no official word on whether McAllister is still here or not. Have we all been led to believe wrongly that Holden is in the frame, or are we all going to be totally shocked when the new manager is named. Its like a big game atm between the club, the fans, and a reporter that is possibly being fed lies by someone at the club. I’m holding out hope that the reason Holdens been given the weekend to make a decision is because what he’s been offered isn’t actually head coach job and hence he has to decide if it’s what he wants - maybe a demotion or a pay cut possibly?

pongo88 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 There is too much fake news. I don’t blame Gregor MacG, but there is seriously something wrong with the club when there are so many rumours and so little truth from City’s communication dept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 1 hour ago, WesM said: I think it’s a massive mole hunt by the club. I reckon JMac was the mole, that’s why they’ve fired him and the Holden story is just part of that. They only question is if Holden was in on it and has snaked him. I know this sounds a bit out there but might explain why SM and BT disappeared off Twitter to avoid the fallout. So, if JMac was the mole, I can only presume it was him that told Gregor he had been sacked.......... unless someone else told him..........two moles!! I am totally confused though, because that if it’s true, then why haven’t City formally announced it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am totally confused though, because that if it’s true, then why haven’t City formally announced it ? I got the impression from Gregor’s initial tweet that Macca might be the true source, but he got it via a 3rd party, possibly the scout mentioned (not named) in the tweet. 2+2, not sure if 4 or 5 though.

Johnny Musicworks Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Kid in the Riot said: It most certainly wasn't. He's been accurate in most of the stuff he's reported but obviously on occasion he will be "used" to spread a false rumour or two. That's the nature of the job. So possibly classic deflection technique. Under pressure following a series of PR blunders and delayed decisions that have turned the fan base against the board and annoyed at how Gregor seems to be ITK what better than to turn the fans anger against the media, (in this case Gregor) and discredit him and his sources. All becoming a little Trump-like I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
