i've got no reason not to believe ian ayre of liverpool, despite him being a scouser, nor the president of napoli, who also is a dodgy italian but as far as i know no history of bs like perez.

it's like us saying we can afford rooney's wages. great. brilliant. i'm sure that we can. but at the moment the words mean nothing until someone backs them up, from somewhere.
