Open Letter To Ellis Short/Petition

Does seem like this hastened his desire to get the fuck out of here.

Doesn't seem a bad bloke and was wonderfully courteous to me the one time I met him, but his stewardship has been a car crash sadly
 
Signed but I think more needs to be done as well just hard to say what, I like the idea of one game everyone taking their season ticket renewal pack to the game and chucking on the pitch causing, right near the tunnel. It would add some much needed publicity to our situation

I've said on here, many times, that I want Short out and a good new owner in.

The first part would be considerably easier if there was a second part.

You're right mate but I know a good few on here that know the same thing but put it across in a far far better way than you.

1. It would be picked up the press/sky sport other outlets and publicise the fact that many are not happy with the way the club is been run
2. They want us to return the renewals, this way we would just not how they would expect. A sign that people have had enough and not take our support for granted
3. At least we would be doing something not just sitting in our arses complaining, action speaks louder than words etc....
4. It beats getting the bed sheets
5. We might actually get to see how many season tickets actually now go to the match if everyone did it!
6. As mentioned above, it will hopefully block the players from getting on the pitch!
 
Who is going to buy us?

Not sure what people are expecting

Any new owner won't be spending money

Our wage bill is through the roof and we have 60 million worth of players on big money that nobody wants

We can't and shouldn't be spending

West Ham have thousands marching through the streets, behind 20 hearses, and aim to cause gridlock .... let's see how much publicity that gets.

If there's another terrorist incident in the capital, on the same day, the West Ham march won't get a mention.

People expecting headline news stories, over Sunderland protests, will be sorely disappointed imo.

Of course if there is a terrorist incident on the same day it won't get a mention, strange thing to say really.

Not expecting headline news, breaking news etc...however as mentioned it would get people talking more about Sunderland and our situation.

Fair play to West Ham, their fans are doing something to highlight they're not happy which is a lot more than can be said of us.

How many millions of people watch sky sports news all over the world and their shows, yes it wouldn't get as much publicity as we would like but the only thing worse than been talked about is not been talked about which is exactly what we are at the minute except for been laughed at for how shit we are

It's not strange at all.

Without other big news, terrorist incident or whatever, it may receive some coverage .... with more important 'news' it could get none.

I used that term simply as an example.

Obviously.

My point being, we would get more coverage than we are getting at the minute which is hardly any at all.
