So, Mike Hall is facing a battle to extract legal costs from Najadi, the man who attempted to sue Hall for, what he claims was unfounded allegations of shady doings.
Hall defended the case, but Najadi has retreated to Russia & his father has recently been assassinated.
This means that Hall is going to struggle to recover the costs of defending the action. A bill of around £20k.
Hall's investigative journalism was, in most people's opinion, key in the downfall of the Chanrai era, and staved off potential back-door attempts to buy the club via Harris.
Potentially Hall is a Pompey hero?
Or, Hall did some great work re: Chanrai, and became a bit gung-ho with his output & went too far with Najadi, not investing the time to ensure his facts were as well grounded as with his previous pieces.
Hall faces bankruptcy, so should the club pay his fees?
