History for Buzzing

The article is titled "Wellington Phoenix confirm merger talks", but the third paragraph states "It (the Phoenix) didn't deny it had been involved in reported merger proposal talks with a consortium from southwestern Sydney" which to my way of thinking is certainly not the same as confirmation. The rest of the article is just a cut and paste job of what is being reported in the Australian media (xyz reported . . .) and the Phoenix's statement - there is no new information there.

The Siggy article is titled "Phoenix legend Ben Sigmund laments reported merger" and in the article "the suggestion his old outfit might be shifting across the ditch".

These articles are certainly not stating that the story is true, they are commenting on the story.
