"In this case the stories about Grayson and the impact on the team appear to be light on fact and very heavy on rumour/conjecture."
That was my point. Every man and his dog can make an assumption based on NOTHING and start a "debate". If someone is keen on that then go out and buy Hello magazine. However, even thought "fact are facts" they are open to interpretation and thus they form a better foundation for a debate than online slander. That is also my point.
