No. But if we did, you would have to give it an impossibly long URL, in order to make it highly unlikely that anyone might stumble across it.

An ackowledgement sounds frighteningly professional for the FLP, and I'd put my house on them not having a legal dept! We will get a retraction, drafted by us (or our lawyers) with an apology. If they don't do that, we carry the threat of taking it further, but litigation is the last thing the club will want because it would need to be disclosed to a potential buyer who is likely to want it settled prior to any acquisition. The FLP are in no position to resist regarless of whether they think they have a defence, because I'd be surprised if they have the ability to rack up legal costs. As wrong as the article is, there is nothing to gain from making a mountain out of a molehill.

I think you're right there. Judging by their website, it looks as if the staff consists of 4 blokes working from a small office in Wimbledon. Actually, just having noticed the address, I'm sure I recognise the building they're in. It's clearly visible from the train on my way in to & from work. I will glare menacingly at them on my way home this evening. |

Is it me, or does "The Football League Paper", sound more like it should be an impartial view of the league and the weekend's matches, not a tabloid twat fest of scaremongery and bullshit?
I'm actually surprised a publication like that would take such a strong stance and publish such tripe.

I'm surprised they didn't have a rant about a club that really did cheat. Like Portsmouth. Or Leeds - can't believe they got to write off all that debt, Bates bought it for pennies and then sold it for tens of millions, which is a scandal. Besides, even if we had cheated we're pretty fucking shit at it as all we got was a League Two trophy. |

Litigation by the club will not delay a sale. If the club were being sued, a potential buyer would want to see the outcome if there were a sgnificant potential downside. With a tin pot little suit like this there is little impact either way. |
