New
Chairman John Holmes won some brownie points on Monday night...by
apparently kicking Eric "I'm a monster a*sehole"
Hall out of Filbo's hospitality suite!
Unbelievably
Hall had the nerve to blag free tickets from Pompey as he
is agent for Tim Sherwood, and then waltzed into the club
he tried to put out of business!
John
Holmes said,
"Eric
Hall is not welcome. I thought it was a bit of an insult he
even thought he could come in.
"I
told him he could go anywhere else in the ground but that
he was not welcome in the hospitality area.
"It
goes back to what happened with Dennis Wise and the comments
he made subsequently. Also the fact that he tried to get a
winding-up order which would have put Leicester out of business."
Hall
hit back:
"I've
spoken to my legal people and I'm considering taking action
against Mr Holmes and making a claim against him.
"It's
in the hands of my legal people and I've been told not to
say anything. Ask Mr Holmes what happened - he's the one who
verbally attacked me.
"This
has nothing to do with Leicester City Football Club but Mr
Holmes."
Holmesy
continued...
"Eric
Hall tried to come into the ground by saying he was an employee
of Portsmouth Football Club.
"Apparently
he asked Portsmouth for the tickets by saying they were for
Tim Sherwood's father.
"Dave
Bassett drew my attention to the fact that he was here although
it's not usually hard to notice him. We discussed how he came
to be here and I told him to go.
"Trying
to get a winding-up order was a disgraceful thing to do -
something I could never dream of doing.
"It
was all about self-publicity rather than a genuine desire
to do the right thing for his client. "I never spoke to him
before so it's not a case of not speaking to him now. He knows
my feelings.
"He
will never be welcome at the Walkers Stadium for what he tried
to do to this club."
