More than happy to be corrected, but I was under the impression he was sent on gardening leave, a term that suggests full pay with no work/ability to publish through his employer. Without seeing the contracts/agreements, we obviously can only infer what conditions were attached. Not much, if...

Duffer - the Telegraph has had to refute claims of being gagged too, according to this from the same site. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/coventry-telegraph-journalists-reject-suggestions-paper-has-been-gagged-and-censored Sounds very messy indeed!

Thanks Duffer. I agree about the personal insults - as I said earlier it was, on the whole, one rather clumsy and ill thought through paragraph that really let me down, which I was happy to apologise for at the time. I also published his right to reply, in full. I have grown rather weary of...

I remember it as quite ironic that the day Les was on twitter telling the world that David Conn article in the Guardian was inferior in substance to his own previous article in the local rag (the one which I had objected to), this coincided with Conn receiving an national press award for his...

I would have thought so too, but I haven't found him writing further on the subject apart from one possible unattributed piece in a local free paper more recently, which of course may not have had anything to do with him. Can't recall any smoking gun being exposed though. He certainly liked to...

Its quite bizarre - none of the team go and celebrate with Houchen after scoring. Not one. He's left just jumping up and down on the spot on his jacks. I was far too busy at the time trying not to have a heart attack or pass out.

You see journalists portrayed on film and TV as unable to stop themselves from seeking the truth and exposing those in power, always looking for a scoop. It would be interesting to discover if he has been keeping quiet all this time to protect any possible pay-out from an employment tribunal...

I had to apologise. By making a rash throwaway play on words using his name, it was possible that I could have had to pay significant sums under the law of defamation. Some one working as a journalist having been 'criticised' as largely ignored by changing a few letters in his name to subvert...

This bits quite interesting: Regional aid and UK assisted areas State aid, provided as regional aid, can be used to support the economic development of certain disadvantaged areas within the European Union. On the basis of Article 87(3)a and Article 87(3)c of the Treaty, State aid granted...

If the judge has read the original agreement and interpreted it as a clear declaration that if 'the negotiations end without agreement, SISU pay the legal costs of the charity' then what further evidence do you actually really need?

Id suggest that whether you or I think it's a valid argument is largely irrelevant. Would expensive, articulate and educated lawyers be able to convince the relevant authorities that the long term argument was valid? Who would be in a position to bring about any such enquiry in any...

I would imagine the directors could successfully argue that they are acting in the best interests of the company in the long term, so this is just part of plan for future sustainability. Fisher used this argument at the forum in the summer. Otium are likely to incur losses for the next year...

I didn't get a formal letter, although was told by a trusted source that one was almost certainly on the way. I thought it was a bit far fetched, but once the trust got their letter, did make me stop and think. I did also get several very lengthy emails that took hours to read, never mind...

Divide and rule. It could be possible that those that disagreed with the mandate would start a rival organisation, which they are totally within their rights to do. Whatever the outcome. Hardly uniting the fans. The other option is that the trust board leave themselves open to criticism of...

Although around £3 million is being lost in ticket sales

People that live in the city will on the whole still spend a large proportion of that disposable income in the city even though the club is no longer here. It's not as though many of those that follow the team are going to Northampton on a Saturday. Sorry, on a Sunday. It's only the...

I think it is quite easy for any well funded organisation to quell dissenting voices. Newspapers have a duty to shareholders to make a profit, as much as any other corporate body. The costs of defending action could soon wipe out any reserves. The trust is supported by member subscription...

Newspapers have editors, sub editors and legal teams devoted to ensuring defamation laws are not breached. They have the resources to protect their interests. And it would appear they are subjected to threats. Under libel/defamation laws, the burden of proof lies with the defendant. The onus...

Wasn't trying to score points. Suggesting thinking before posting applies across the board. Made the same assumption as Nick by the looks of it. I haven't seen any reports involving the councils shortcomings today. Apologies.
