In red top speak, Dale's Bastien Hery has sensationally hit back at tabloid allegations that emerged on Sunday. In real terms, he put the record straight and everyone was happy.
The Sunday People leapt forward on Sunday with an exclusive stating that there would be a backlash from supporters as the out of favour Frenchman had branded the town "a dump".
The source of this anger from Hery was an interview that he did with a French football magazine last month about his time in England, and in maintaining the high standards of British journalism, it was stuck through Google Translate and the bones were picked out.
The actual interview said that he had a magical time at Rochdale, and that the memories from the promotion last season with the pitch invasion would never be forgotten. He said about how welcoming the supporters had been to him and praised the atmosphere at Spotland. He did go on to say that the weather can be nice in Manchester but it could still be snowing in Rochdale.
The original article has been translated properly by a few supporters and it's quite clear that Hery has received something of a journalist's two footed challenge.
A few tweets from Bastien helped clear the situation up:
