No quotes in that Star article.File under bullshit.

I don't know if that story is true or not, but since when was the lack of quotes the distinguishing factor between true and made up?

They reckon they know what the board told PL in a meeting last week.
They can't even be bothered to say an insider told them.Its bullshit.

I'm not doubting it's a crock of shit, just pointing out that if a lack of direct quotes is the distinguishing factor for truth in articles, then that rules out 90 percent of things published in the press as untrue.

There's no reason to believe that he won't be backed.

If you had inside info coming out of board meeting wouldn't you use it?
Or if you didn't you would just guess/make it up.That article has a whiff all over it.

Ok, let's just say for the sake of argument that the article said that he was'nt going to be backed and there were no quotes. Would you believe it then?
