The Kraken Posted 16 February, 2013 Share Posted 16 February, 2013 How bad is it for Micah Hall? Could it end up affecting the takeover? I very much doubt it's much at all. Just an expensive lawyer throwing their weight around on behalf of a rich client, and Hall/Farmery doing the smart thing and acceding. POL seem to think the blog in question was taken down as a technicality, rather than a point of proper libel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 16 February, 2013 Share Posted 16 February, 2013 Likely to have a chilling effect on Hall. The libel laws in this country are a joke. Pricey lawyers can push anyone around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm but IF they have given enough ammunition to actually take out a case against the head honchos in PDT it will hurt them to hell and back, distract their attention from the job at hand and even IF it doesn't go to court it could still make an enormous dent in their cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Colin the Farmer is only a spokesman, he conceded himself that he didn't really have the full picture at times. Neither of them are amongst the HNW brigade who are disguising their consortium as some form of fans' buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guided Missile Posted 16 February, 2013 Share Posted 16 February, 2013 One of the backers behind the failed Harris bid was Pascal Najadi, according to the Guardian. His self published autobiography is available on Amazon. A reviewer comments: A brilliant and inspirational story from a charismatic figure! A fascinating story not only from a historical point of view, the rise of the Arab and Asian world, but touching from a human perspective, the story of a man who is never defeated and goes ahead despite of the adversities of his personal and his country's history. Last but not least, from a literary point of view, this autobiography is a masterpiece, its characters are beautifully portrayed, the story is superbly told in and you feel the perfume of 1001 and one nights, and the salty smell of the sea. A humble man, then and one that seems well suited to Pompey and the salty smell of the sea... Hall apparently traced a link from him to Roman Dubov via Najadi's son and seemed to suggest that they were all less than fit and proper. I didn't believe it for a minute and after reading his blog, felt more and more comfortable about Harris's bid for the future welfare of this great club. I am sure I join many Saints fans in welcoming the removal of the disgraceful smear attempt by Hall and hope that the PFA can help revive this bid, if only for the sake of this thread... Just for Micah Hall's benefit, this is one of the people you may have pi $$ed off. If you see him at your front door in Gosport, best not to answer...
