LONDON — It is not always easy being a football reporter. We are sometimes accused of not telling the truth, but knowing who to believe can be more difficult than digging out a world exclusive.
For instance, after Manchester United's 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic on Wednesday night, Sir Alex Ferguson spoke about the future of Carlos Tevez, whose two-year loan period at Old Trafford is coming to an end.
Tevez's contract is owned by Media Sports Investments, a company headed by Kia Joorabchian rather than another football club, which, to put it mildly, complicates matters.
