Start a crowdfunding effort to create a fund then appoint one supporter to go on a mission to speak to Short directly, man to man.
Give him a letter, from the supporters, to present to Short, or his office, and make sure the cameras are there.
Inform the press, the TV and any other media that our special envoy is on his way ..... it could be a one man Jarrow march.
If Short is in the US we could absolutely bombard the local media to gain attention ..... they love shit like that.
If he's in Scotland have an actual march where various people can join 'Braveheart', at various points, wearing Sunderland shirts through the ages.
We could have a series of people walking the 50 miles from Culloden, a famous battlefield of a bitter civil war, to Skibo Castle.
The 'villain' at Culloden was the Duke of Cumberland who was nicknamed 'The Butcher' and looks remarkably like Short .... if you really squint a bit.
Start a website where everyone can contribute and our plucky hero can send photos of him/herself waving his specially made flag at various landmarks.
Contact Sunderland supporters in the US or Scotland who'll take him into their home or simply hand over some bait/baccy/booze.
Have a donation page that goes directly to the specially procured credit card to help him on his way.
If people don't like the flag idea we can have an incredible red & white tracksuit made with a message for Short.
Two things could happen whereby our hero is met by Short who's image would be seen as far and wide as we can manage ....
.... or our lad is refused permission to speak to Short, or hand over the letter, which would see us brand him the coward he'd prove himself to be.
The main thing is that Short would know all about it.
No mass protest at the stadium, no disruption of the players on the pitch, no risk of being seen as yet another shouting rabble, etc etc etc.
I've written this as I'm watching Deeney score in the Watford match on a stream, on my laptop, and pretending to our lass that I know what's happening in Corrie
So I've not thought anything through properly, haven't checked my facts, edited my post and have no idea where Short might be.
I think it could become massive and make a dignified and powerful statement that wouldn't frighten off a prospective buyer ....
..... you might think it's shit but that's democracy
The Butcher ...
