Email from McLeish

Exactly and elegantly put toronto.

Received this from the club:


I have noticed a couple of comments on the threads from supporters who have not received today's email from Alex McLeish. Just to clarify the email was only sent to season ticket holders. If any of your members are current season ticket holders and did not receive the email, then we either don't have an email address registered for them or have they have previously unsubscribed from emails from the club. If this is the case, and any season ticket holder wants to register their email address with the club then they can simply call Consumer Sales on 0800 612 0970 and we will update their contact details.

Thanks for that Dave, but:

1. I am a ST holder
2. I have not received the E-Mail
3. I have a registered E-Mail address with them that I get plenty of communications sent to
4. I have never unsubscribed

5: You are Legion, are you really surprised something went wrong? Mr £2 booking fee!

I don't doubt he's a decent bloke, and it is good of him to write. I also think it is right season ticket holders got this before the arm chair/pub watchers like me.

However, talk is cheap. Our home record over the past four season has been dreadful and as a new manager coming into the club the first thing he should have done was put this right to get the fans on his side knowing his recent managerial history. (Not that it bothers me where he came from by the way)

He hasn't, the football we've played and the way we have given up before a ball is kicked in some games was no different to what Houllier did at Man City.

Good to communicate - yes, but as his boss Randy Lerner said when he came in, "Show me, not tell me"

[Greg N'Ash]

Fair play to him i think. At least he confronted some of our complaints about his style head on.  Not sure what "Robbie is at the peak of his football playing knowledge" means though.

Not sure what "Robbie is at the peak of his football playing knowledge" means though. 

It does read as a somewhat half-hearted attempt at justifying signing a player who is obviously past his best.

"Old".

[Legion]

He's 31. Younger than the tumbling bear.

Experienced?

Ah yes, Mr Heskey.  Not to let the facts get in the way of a good story or anything, but playing him in midfield doesn't really add much to his claims of being all for attractive football.

[Legion]

Not in the slightest.

The first few paragraphs resemble the kind of email a CEO would send a week before announcing half the workforce is being made redundant.

Exactly the same for me, too!

I like the fact he's basically said he's a mouthy git who'll say what he thinks.

We're such a nice bunch of wetters. We never seem to have ever had a nasty streak.
