If a story about him signing a new contract can split the club then he should know it's time to f*ck off. Maybe he does hence the reason he says it's designed to cause harm.
It's funny that a story about a manager signing a new contract is such a cardinal sin
Anyway this sh*t doesn't harm the club, what the manager and board are doing does...but they don't give a toss.
The whole interview from start to finish was embarrassing, from his answer to the question about him having to convince the players they can beat Bayern onwards.
