when you ask the same of everyone else who posts on rumours threads I'll consider it, but for now I'll operate to the same standard as everyone else, thanks.
To be fair, others are regularly asked for sources when the rumour is particularly controversial. None are usually willing to give them but they do get asked.
In this instance the sole source you've quoted is someone widely suspected to have an axe to grind and known to be bad-mouthing the club at every available opportunity, so folk are naturally sceptical. Add in your clear dislike of McRae and you can see why you're getting the response you are.
