Khan Tottenham Rumor

I hesitate to post this since it's ludicrous, but eff it. The simple, one line response is most telling. I still don't understand the British press, but whatever....http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2015/july/10/evening-standard-reaction#.VZ_JQhr8qvI.facebook

 

If there's one thing I've learned through following English football, it's that the British press will publish anything to sell copies. I do love the club's response though. Call it crap and move on.

 

Me either. I mean, it's so obviously fiction that it boggles the mind. Mr. Olley is in the wrong business. He should be writing fiction books instead of articles for a newspaper. He (or, more likely, one of his superiors) has a vivid imagination. On second thought, they should stop writing...anything. Such dull, weak drivel...

 

So the English papers are into producing click bait. Aren't they more like tabloids anyway?

I did like the sentence that included both "there has been no contact between Khan and Spurs" and "Levy has no intention to sell." The story pretty much kills itself right there.

 

This sounds suspiciously like a gooner supporter trying to start some shit.....

 

I appreciate that everyone here reacted with the same attitude - that this is crap. But to provide some back-up the Washington Post deconstructed it very nicely: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...crete-report-on-the-jaguars-moving-to-london/

 

Goot one, Micah. And an even better question...why would the WaPo even care about this at all? Still glad they tackled it.

 

I was wondering the same thing too. I half expected to see the byline say that it was written by "DC Heather".
