Panorama were well out of order to imply we attepted to tap up the Boro kid.The kids agent contacted the club, they instigated the meeting, they raised the subject of his availability and we show a natural interest in a talented youngster. Thats not tapping up a player, thats a typical agent drumming up interest in the possibility of the kids availability so as to tempt a move which the agent will benefit from. I would expect the club to seek a full apology from the BBC for the attempted slurr.
