Email from McLeish

I hope you are right Paulie but I've gone beyond cautious when going into games where we should get something - I think Swansea was the final straw.

I think you're doing Swansea a diservice. They were bloody good that day, sometimes you get a game where everything just comes together and to their credit, they've been working on their style of football for 5 years. If you're looking for pathetic, non-excusable performances, look no further than the Spurs, Man Utd and Liverpool games.

One thing is being outpassed by a organised Swansea side, it's quite another to drop your trousers and surrender to any club in the top 6.

We bemoaned the media reaction to our win at Chelsea, where all they could talk about was their problems and ignored how good we were on the day.  And then did the exact same thing when Swansea beat us.

Although the media are supposed to be relatively unbiased. We're all extremely biased, so it's natural.

I got an e-mail as well.  Fair paly to Eck and the Club for providing some communcation at long last.
Lets hope he does play this attacking football he has been referring to in the letter

[Dr Butler]

Great to hear from the club and Alex, but I am a little surprised he knew my name.

My only email today was from a Nigerian prince who wanted me to send him my bank account details so as he could transfer £200,000,000. Fantastic, as soon as it's cleared i'm buying the club!

Drinks are on you



Western union transfer, was it?

[Kevin Dawson]

I didn't get an e-mail, however, I am very impressed with this. I just hope he can deliver what he says....

The Keane signing has been rumoured long before the demonstration was known of.  And if I'm honest I hardly think they'd be concerned enough about it to release this - I know I'm not, anyway!

To be equally cynical, club doesn't sign a player on Thursday certain supporters criticise, manager doesn't communicate with fans same have an issue for him keeping quiet.

In short; damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You're not suggesting the Bedsheet Four have... no of course you're not. That would be almost as silly as their protest.

It's hardly the most high profile demo, is it, though?

I had no idea it was going to happen until someone mentioned it in passing on here, and i think the vast majority of season ticket holders will also have had no idea it was going to happen.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I am writing firstly to thank you for your continuing, invaluable support of this great Football Club. I understand that investing in a season ticket is a big commitment.......

I got the e-mail and at this point went into panic mode thinking the club was starting early for next seasons wedge of my cash.

Anyway, good for him. Tell me how many e-mails you ever got from Saunders in the whole time he was in charge ?

[Rigadon]

More proof he's a thoroughly decent man.  I really want him to succeed here.  We're so inconsistent at home at the moment though it's hard to see where it will end.  He has my backing purely for getting the Arsenal and Chelsea performances out of the team - it shows he (and the team) is capable.  Those saying it's a PR bluff - no chance, they'd have spoken about how we were doing financially or something. That is all McLeish.

Thanks for posting it on here too by the way.
