Did the Buddha said that there is no self there is no soul?

In this article, **the writer of the article** claims, purports or alleges that Bhikkhu Thanissaro and Bhikkhu Bodhi state that the Buddha NEVER said that there was no self. The Buddha NEVER said that there is no soul. The views and opinions expressed in this article are contrary to many response given in this platform, for example response given for one of the most frequently vised question here is described as fatalism and NOT Buddhism. The question is, is the view presented widely accepted view in Buddhism or is it a new development?
