Neither have I said anything derogatory about Chappy or expressed any negative views of him.
It seems from the replies that nobody actually knows if the allegations are true or not.
I don't even know what they are exactly? Can you elaborate at all?
The allegations that I
read/heard (NOT the allegations I am making) are that Les Chapman regularly released information to the press, Ian Ladyman in particular, that maybe should not have been released.
These include the Mario Balotelli dart throwing incident (that took place inside and could not be viewed by the press outside) and that there was unrest amongst the players during the end of the Mancini era.
These stories, and others, obviously came from a source within the club and some people seem to be under the impression that Chapman was that source.
The reason for the thread was to ask if anybody else had heard these rumours and if there was any truth in them - not to damage Chapman's reputation unnecessarily.
