santaponsasaint Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Think the club should take legal action on Sutton. He based his attack on nothing except the bitter words of a sacked pal. He has no written proof. As Eck said were does it say anywhere that Eck said anything against Stubbs.

Gosport Buddie Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looks like Sutton's deleted his tweets to Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I think we should let it go , and put the W7 issues and the disagreements over the arrival of Gus behind us as well. We need to be concentrating 100% on staying up. Sutton has been talking shite about SPL clubs for years , yet it takes us , on our first season back , to take up arms against him , he'll be laughing all the way to the bank ! eta and the wee gay Smisa badges too !

Lord Pityme Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 The club arent going to take legal action against Sutton, there's no grounds, he hasnt accused anyone of doing anything illegal. And lets face it, do you think the club want to have to stand up in court and have all the shit splattered around in public concerning how they sacked Stubbs? We do seem to be coming a bit more like the paranoid bigots everyday. And the more you slag/diss someone, or something in public, the more you are drawn to it. Like Billy says time for everyone to grow up a bit and make sure if you have to stand in a puddle of shit? You've at least got big enough boots on.

smcc Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I am not a lawyer but I think that if St Mirren's solicitors sent Sutton a strongly worded letter advising him that, if he continued to make unsubstantiated allegations against the club or its staff members, legal action would ensue, he would watch his Ps and Qs in the future.

bud77 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wonder if there's a case for claiming back Stubbs' pay off. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a non disclosure clause on the severance deal. If Stubbs has then went running telling stories to a mate who just happens to have a media platform then there could well be a case there that he broke the non disdclsure.

I have already stated why the club may be reluctant to pursue this in court - so I agree with you on this particular point. The first sentence in your third paragraph does not make sense. Why are you paranoid if you decide to defend yourself against defamatory remarks made on public TV? And what has that got to do with bigotry? If Sutton's remarks had been made against you personally on BT TV would you just have ignored them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now both club and one player in particular are drawn ever closer to him, and we know there will be hee haw legal action, so Sutton will be cock-a-hoop at having another load of free hits at us.

I think the least the club should do in these circumstances is send a formal legal letter of complaint to BT and ask them to take appropriate action against their employee ie a formal reprimand which I would assume is unlikely to be a 'first warning' given his track record.

Seaside Nipper Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Sutton is simply a loud mouth , he's like an aggressive fan boy and frankly uses belligerence as a substitute for ability and a lack of analytical ability. He is having a go cos its controversial, it keeps him supposedly relevant. Lets face it , he's a failed manager himself , but rather than address shortcomings , he looks to deflect. He appears to have been as good a manager as Stubbs, end of, no, wrong, in fact Stubbs was far more successful !! Says it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a difference between making controversial statements for the hell of it as against deliberately defaming an individual or organisation.

Really, why? It means nothing unless you can prove something in court. Are st mirren going to go to court, ostensibly to defend one player now in the 'liability' category to only have to rake through all the internal strife, protests, back stabbing, media outburts etc surrounding Stubbs sacking? no, Stubbs would have a field day as its not him breaking any confidentiality agreement, and when all the stories come out he might be able to tak e the club for even more thanks to his old mate Chris, and what would by then be the ex player Eckersley. talk on the pitch, make others back up their claims.

It doesn't 'mean nothing unless you can prove it in court' the club can issue a letter of complaint without having (or wanting) to follow official channels or go to court. I'm sure they only want an acknowledgement of his mistake and unacceptable behaviour, not the man to be disciplined and sacked. BT and Chris could acknowledge it wasn't acceptable without any further escalation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think st mirren are going to let their dirty washing around Stubbs sacking be aired in court? They would be giving away monet to Sutton, Stubbs and their legal teams if they were so suicidally minded. if you send me a leagal letter telling me basically how much i upset you it might come in handy to get my fire going, but all it means is you wrote a letter then paid a lawyer to sign it. It means nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
