Bernie Friend has often been accused of hidden agendas, etc but his article in the Echo tonight is spot on.[b said:Quote[/b] (blue sky @ June 30 2004,22:48)]It might be an old story, but one which does not show the club in a good light, especially to the occassional supporter - the ones we need to attract on a more regular basis to get the cash coming in.
Club looks bad in Echo, Club has row with Echo, bans Echo from club (we've seen it before), occasional fans dont know what happenning as Echo stops reporting...???
memo to RM+GK.. Talk to Wignall, sort out a pay-off and stop all this court-case bollox. The only winners will be the lawyers and the club will come out of it looking bad...

Lets make sure I've got this right. Southend United want to sue Wignall for making poor appointments.
Probably the poorest single appointment for some while was ... err Wignall.
Who appointed Wignall? Why aren't the club chasing this person through the courts?
This is opening the club up to ridicule and I would have thought the club would have received better advice from the lawyer on the Board.

Wignall wants to sue Southend - not vice versa. Their counter claim is, IMHO, a tactic to try and negate his initial claim.
I have to say that I am not actually convinced of the merits of SUFC's counter claim but nonetheless it shows that the club will not roll over and let him take the action without a fight.
I am not a litigant but I think this is a relatively standard situation and tactic. I predict an out of court settlement.
Matt where are you ?[b said:Quote[/b] (fbm @ June 30 2004,23:46)]No.[b said:Quote[/b] (Mick @ June 30 2004,23:12)]Bernie Friend has often been accused of hidden agendas, etc but his article in the Echo tonight is spot on.[b said:Quote[/b] (blue sky @ June 30 2004,22:48)]It might be an old story, but one which does not show the club in a good light, especially to the occassional supporter - the ones we need to attract on a more regular basis to get the cash coming in.

Defamation of character covers both Libel and Slander. Libel being written and slander being spoken.[b said:Quote[/b] (The Artful Shrimper @ July 01 2004,09:48)]If Wignall can claim that injuries and not meeting expectations is part of the norm of football rather than negligent managerial foresight, then he could couter sue the negligent charge under a defamation of character (or is it liable~we've discussed this before) ?
How much does Matt charge for advice?
Reminds me of a story told by an ex-pro saying to the ref: "can I be booked for what I think"? "No, of course not", the ref replies."I think you're a **** then"[b said:Quote[/b] (steveh1510 @ July 01 2004,09:56)]Defamation of character covers both Libel and Slander.
