Former employer putting the boot in!!!!

You're being paranoid

How does it affect your reputation?
Just because your previous boss doesn't like you he's exercising his right to decide who works for him. He obviously doesn't like you as he got rid of you before (perhaps he doesn't like whiny self-obsessed brats?) so why should he put up with you again, just because you're working through a third party?
Just leave it and get on with your life.
You do realise that angst is allowable when you're between 12 and 18 but it's very unattractive when you're older.

Friendly round here innit....

The issue is that there seems to be some kind of personal grievance within my old company. I can just accept the new role and move on. What I can't understand though is their need to undermine my reputation without just cause.

Expect that bad things happen in this life and move on

As far as your reputation being tarnished, the fact that your being redeployed rather that let go on the spot would seem to imply otherwise.

let it go, its your old boss who has tarnished his own reputation

Tough love Hiram

Friendly round here innit....

We could all sympathise and virtually pat you on the head, blaming 'dat nasty wickle ex-empwoyer', but you know yourself that this is what the world's about. If you want a cosy job for life where reality doesn't intrude, go work for your local council.
