I think your missing the point. This isnt a discussion about whether it should or should not come back. WHY would there be something in the paper, unless its based purely on a rumour, if it wasnt going to happen. Surely something like that in a paper if untrue would be a pretty good way of getting sued?
As for me, im not really that fussed one way or the other. I realise its probably unlikely to come back but still.....!
