An Open Letter to Robert Elstone

I'm not Moyes' biggest fan from a footy perspective, but if two years ago he was told he had to dismantle a team that got to the FA Cup final and was playing some ok stuff in prolonged periods of games, then I wouldn't for a minute blame him for just putting bog standard players out and eeking out 46 points to survive each season (which is all this regime want). I wouldn't hold it against him doing that as long as he stopped backing these directors to the hilt and started publically making his displeasure know. But because he doesn't do that he deserves all the criticism he gets along the lines of just being in it for Â£65,000 pw wages to keep his mout shut.

Just how I feel too Dave

"For starters, weÂ´re seeing a side that plays football which is the sporting equivalent of watching paint dry"

That's not Elstones fault.

It is if the board are selling off the flair players without allowing the manager to replace them.

Moyes has the final say... remember.

He said: I can't see it. It's not for me that one, and I think they know that as well. Nobody will leave the club unless I say so, and give it the go ahead and that won't change. We have signed him on a five year deal and I don't want to sell him....

I think you're being a wee bit naive. Id say it was the bank who has the final say

Decent letter, but I'd really urge people like him to never forget that we're skint because the club has been mismanaged for years and haven't done any of the basic stuff other club's management has done.

We don't have proactive board members - it's not a full time job for any of them like it is for other clubs.

Kenwright's full time job is his Theatre business. Earl is never in the country and has attended around 5 EFC games in the last 5 years. Between them they own 48% of the club. Woods (19%) does nothing either, and Carter owns 2% and is 84 years old.

None of them are willing to invest their own money into the club. None of them have brokered deals to bring outside commercial investment into the club either.

You don't have to be a massive anti-Kenwright person to note that the club is not run as well as other clubs of our historical stature.

Don't dwell on 'the football's ****e so that's why gate's are down'. A lot of people are disillusioned with how the club is run and the inertia as a business; that there is no PLAN at all to develop the business. 'Selling the club' alone is not a plan, that's just an intention. In the meantime, there needs to be a business PLAN. Elstone has singularly failed to do this, as he has illustrated himself by his blogs on the financial state of affairs at the club.

It's like someone having a broken leg but worrying about a bruised toenail. There are bigger problems at the club than 'our football is like watching paint dry'. Look into and acknowledge the reasons why the football is like watching paint dry!

I wouldn't bother mate. He's just attempting to troll you. He'll be banned within the next two days anyway.

How fantastic! Popcorn? Troll? I don't even know what that means in an inetrnet context. 'Banned' though, yes, I get that. It's a tad PRAVDA isn't it? So, considering your (Tubey's) 'Open' letter to be simplistic, and Bluefox's football critique a bit dumb (and by the way, the first EFC team that I saw win the league was in 1963 so I doubt you remember as much as me Mr Fox, and my dick is seriously bigger than yours), is cause enough to bring about a banning? Shame on you. I can see that there are a number of well meaning Blues' who've found a home on the internet here, but the level of debate is low. Please ban away. there's nothing to be learnt here. Keep yourselves insulated. Sayanora

Nothing to be learned here?

And yet you feel compelled to comment?

The level of debate is low?

As opposed to all of the "high brow" forums that you no doubt frequent.

Yeah, I'd say you're on a short leash. How about you keep quiet and you may, just may, learn something?

Over to you.

Anyone who brings their penis size into a debate has to be a troll.

That's not true. I've got a massive 8 incher but that doesn't mean I'm a troll.

Oh and GWS is mental.

For someone who finds my letter simplistic, it is ironic that you spelled "Elstone" incorrect in your first response, and in this one you seem incapable of putting a capital letter after a full stop.

Sayonara*, by the way.

Bye bye, Einstein.
