What an absolute load of bollocks from half the posters on here , the guy is obviously as frustrated as I am pours his heart out to a disinterested wanker who appointed McShite and you lot slaughter him for forgetting to put a comma in the wrong place. Use your energies to do something similar and deluge them with letters personally written in your most eloquent style.

Quite right, I'm embarrassed by some of the posts on here written by people who think they are a lot more clever than they are. If the letter was a load of shite then say it, not get all typing pool over it.......should have used a Capital and a comma
Give me strength, whats wrong with some of you !!!!!!!

What I will finally say on this issue is to those who have picked apart the very good letter, perhaps they should take a bit of time and send one, in my opinion it may help change a desperate situation. Some good banter on this but also some embarrassing somewhat bitchy smart arse bores. You know who you are.

Why do people post these letters to the club on the internet?  I honestly don't get it.

I agree, it smacks of self importance. "I wrote a letter and it's so brilliant I decided to show all of you." Even when it is far from brilliant. Once you've read one, you've read them all.

No offence, Cuz.  I just don't get the need to share it.

I wrote a letter to Sir GT at the end of his second tenure and was overjoyed when he sent me a reply. I shared it through a sense of pride and respect, not self-importance. Admittedly it was far from brilliant although concise and to the point.

Sharing a reply is something different though Legion.  And I can imagine a letter from Mr Taylor would bring a smile to most fans faces :)

Ok Cuz, forgive me for saying so but you seem a little defensive, perhaps due to the grammar stuff.  As I said, I meant no offence and there's no need to check with me before posting letters to the club.  Just don't be surprised when, on an internet forum, you get some replies you might not agree with.  That's the point isn't it?

Who was the bloke who posted his Villa rock song on here some time ago?
He asked for honest opinions, most people said it was shite and he did his nut.

I'm relaxed, no one has disagreed with the letter my mate wrote, you don't get why I posted it I was just replying

OK,  good luck to you and your mate (and his letter).
