Derek Llambias, Newcastle United's Managing Director, reports that he is getting tired of defending the club against the media. At a time when the club should be placing their focus on the upcoming season, false headlines are causing distraction.
Llambias' comment stems from a recent report that the U.S.-based InterMedia Partners may have been presented with an offer from owner Mike Ashley to purchase the club.
When speaking to The Telegraph, Llambias suggested the rumours are intentionally being created as a means of weakening the club before next season. He further indicated that revamping management, acquiring new signings and decreasing ticket prices were all indicative of a long-term situation.
Llambias appeared confident that Newcastle fans will disregard the gossip.
