Releasing Stories Through Unnamed Sources

This was, of course, a favourite trick of Alistair Campbell's, secretly releasing leaks that made Tony the Messiah look even more divine and Gordon the Ogre even more diabolical. Well, I have long maintained that Scotty Duxbury is a devotee of the black arts of Campbell and the New Labour spin machine so it comes as no surprise to read the "rumours" that Scotty and his Nani financed the Franco deal out of their own pockets. You will note that these are rumours and that the sources have not been revealed. Nor have Duxbury or Nani either endorsed or refuted the story. Well it makes them look good doesn't it, so what harm is there in letting us all think it may be true? I wonder who started the rumour in the first place? Hmmmm, tricky one that!

Here's a thought though, who pays Nani's and Duxbury's inflated salaries exactly? And what is the point of paying Nani if we don't have the money to buy any of the players he recommends?
