STAR Reaction to Oliver Holt's Vendetta Against Stephen Hunt

[handbags_harris]

Just a quick query. With the persistent referrals to Stephen Hunt, and the consistent implications Oliver Holt makes in his column in the Daily Mirror, does STAR have a view on the situation bearing in mind Stephen Hunt doesn't have a means of defending himself personally, the fact that there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Stephen Hunt deliberately fractured Petr Chech's skull (a fact the FA back up with their findings) and the fact that Oliver Holt's comments are in essence bordering on the libellous?

Also, will STAR (or indeed RFC) be making any attempt to prevent Oliver Holt's persistent comments from occurring again??

It is something we probably need to take advice on as our resources are nothing like those of a paper. But in essence I personally think we should defend our players.

Shouldn't this be a role the PFA should play, if anyone?

Agreed, players should be defended by the PFA, Club and their own players.

However a complaint from STAR to the newspaper can't do any harm.

He'd love that publicity and probably run a series of articles on all the attention. ROYALS BOYCOTT THE MIRROR !!

He'd probably call it a witch hunt by the football holligan supporters of Reading who devil worship the anti-christ known as Hunt.
