COMMENT: No this isn't about getting a fact wrong or a mistaken stat. This one's about setting the record straight about Paul Pogba and the motivations behind his move from Manchester United.
Y'see, at the time, we swallowed the Fergie line hook, line and sinker.
It was Mino Raiola, Pogba's 'agent', who was the problem. The player wanted a fortune, United weren't going to break their wage structure, and so, with his contract due to expire, off he went to Juventus in 2012.
Only, the fact that Pogba's next deal with Juve came two-and-a-half-years later (signed just in October), paints a different picture to the 'money grabber' (as Raheem Sterling would say) the Frenchman has been portrayed.
In his first season with Juve, Pogba won the Scudetto and Supercoppa Italiana, he then led France to a first ever U20 World Cup triumph that summer, where he was named Player of the Tournament. But there was no call from Raiola to Juve GM Beppe Moratta nor president Andrea Agnelli about a pay-rise.
The following season, on his way to a second league title with Juve, Pogba was named the 2013 'Golden Boy' for the best young player in Europe. A first World Cup followed, where he was named the tournament's Best Young Player. All achieved on that original deal signed over two years ago.
Three months into this season and Pogba has his new contract. But for a player now regarded as the game's best U23, his pay-hike from just over £20,000-a-week to barely £70,000-a-week is not the sort of mad numbers of £180,000-a-week being quoted for Raheem Sterling at Liverpool.
From being banished to the reserve team by Sir Alex Ferguson, told to train on his own at Carrington, Pogba has won two Scudetti, two Supercoppa Italianas and an U20 World Cup. Not bad for a player who never started a game at United.
And that's the reason why he left Old Trafford. It had nothing to do with money. Pogba wanted to play. He wanted to get his career going and was convinced Ferguson was holding him back. It was a failure of Fergie's man-management. Instead of convincing Pogba that his chance would come, with his new deal unsigned, the Scot lost his rag and banished him from the first team.
Raiola would get it in the neck, amid claims of 'collusion' with Juve. But, again, this was simply untrue.
Raiola isn't even Pogba's prime agent. Oualid Tanazefti called in Raiola when it became clear Pogba couldn't see a way forward with United.
By his own admission, Tanazefti also spoke with Inter Milan and AC Milan before a deal with Juve was agreed.
"He left Manchester because he believed he wasn't getting enough playing time," recalls Tanazefti. "He played 189 minutes in three seasons at Manchester United. He didn't get enough playing time there."
And again, Juve's offer to Pogba at the time wouldn't even make him among the best paid in his age group in England. Just consider Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who's actually a similar type to Pogba. At Chelsea, he penned a three-year deal in 2013 worth a reputed £912,000-a-year! That's at 17 and not even being close to a first team debut.
If Pogba's camp were all about money and the fast buck, he wouldn't be playing for Juve today. The 22 year-old could write his own deal if he gave encouragement to PSG, Manchester City or Real Madrid.
But that's not the player's character - and it's also not how Raiola nor Tanazefti work.
"Paul is a special boy. He does not want to be disturbed and wants to achieve his goals," says Raiola. "He can do this at Juventus where he's protected and where the environment is perfect to grow in peace.
"With Juve we made a pact: he will not leave by force. They do not want to sell him and we do not need to leave. Right now Juventus is ideal for Pogba."
And, by the way, all this from Raiola comes with a handshake agreement. The Italian never signs his clients to representation deals: "It's all done on trust. The agents who sign contracts with players are those who are afraid of losing them."
Which is where United and Fergie lost out with Pogba.
We can blame Raiola, Juve, even Pogba himself. But we'd be wrong. The trust between player and manager was broken.
That's why Pogba left United almost three years ago. He no longer believed what Ferguson was promising him.
