Melbguy Good to know the papers are full of shit as usual
Not true.
I take it SC will be suing the Sun for misquoting him then?[/quote]
What grounds would he have for sueing them ? There is nothing defamatory there, but it does pull the usual tabloid trick of taking a few comments and reprinting them in conjunction with other bits of misinformation to try and create a story.
In Coppell's time here I can;t recall a player actually requesting a move. Shorey and Lita have both stated they are happy here and Coppell's point is that he wouldn't try and keep an unhappy player at the club, not that it's an open door and anyone can just walk.
Given that West Ham seem to be continuing to conduct their business through the press rather than using ethical channels it seem sles and less likely that there is any truth in the stories. It wouldn;t surprise me if JM doesn;t refuse to even take calls from Upton Park given the poor ethical reputation of the club.
