That speculative newspaper article has been copy and pasted to national and international news sources .If we are trying to get sponsorship from companies that have never invested in rl it could stop us getting a foot in the door |

Hang on a minute. If you're being critical of painting a bleak picture of RL finances, try your chairman's interview in The Sun here last month:
www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... -mess.html
"And Hudgell believes that if something is not done, a number of sides will be nearing ruin. Hudgell, whose Rovers side lost almost £1million in two years following promotion, said: "Everyone is reported to be losing around £500,000 per year and that cannot go on.
"We're running the danger of trying to develop a game built on foundations of sand.You could run across half of Super League and if you take out the major benefactors, that immediately throws into question the viability of the club."
More drama pitched (and to a national audience) here than a headline in the local rag, IMO. |

Not entirely. The poster suggested that Rovers could sue the HDM over adverse reporting of their financial position and its impact on prospective investors. Yet in The Sun interview a month ago Hudgell paints a grim financial picture for the sustainability of game in general and specifically questions his appetite to continue at Hull KR unless 3rd parties provide funding. |

To prove libel, it is imperative that there was originally a good character to defame. |

I'm commenting on direct quotes. Are you saying The Sun made up quotes like the "foundations of sand" one and then pretended Hudgell said them? |

It's simple. The first test in any defamation case is not what was said (or even whether it was truthfull), it is what damage the statement may have caused to the character of the aggrieved party.
If I was to say "Ian Huntley has never bought a TV Licence", he would be extremely unlikely to bring a successfull case for defamation. If however I said "Gordon Brown has never bought a TV Licence", then I'd be the one on shaky ground.
Whatever Hudgell may think, it's extremely unlikely that any court would find that HDM had contributed to any lessening of HKR's character, especially as the chairman has been in the press (and on web forums) and basically said the same things as HDM |
