Just to clarify, there's a big difference between mere speculations and
actual rumors. Speculations come from making an educated guess based on
(usually insufficient) evidence. Rumors come from something either made up
(usually false, or sometimes true by pure luck) or from something heard
through the grapevine (usually true, but usually with some details and
sometimes important considerations lost along the way).
With all the recent[1] layoffs, sacking, and restructurings, IWNSM if there
weren't at least a couple disenchanted or un-loyal ex-employees from Billund
running around leaking things and starting rumors. I never know exactly
what to believe, but IIRC from reading RTL last year, the thing about the
contract was more on the side of a grapevine rumor than mere speculation.
Who knows. Who cares.
