"Piney : Is the Phoenix licence for sale
Morrison : errrrrrrrrr.........................no is the easy answer
Newspaper headlines a couple of days later : FFA reject $15m Phoenix licence sale"
I pointed out until I'm blue in the face, but I'll do it again:
- that newspaper headline was an unsourced rumour. It didn't even say where the journo's facts were coming from. If it had said "sources close to FFA/the Nix/the Campbelltown FC told us" I would give it some credibility. If it had said "we approached the Nix for comment but got none", again it would have some credibility. But it did not, and it cited no sources, so I give it none.
Why do you believe it? Just because it was in an Aussie paper? It may still be true but it's certainly not evidence that Rob was lying to Piney's face.
Regardless of the source, Doloras, this story is so toxic it can't be allowed to stand without a firm, and unequivocal response from Morrison.
