    Its obviously a "name" so to speak, A) why hide your identity or B) if it were me or you writing the letter, would the WOAP arrange to meet us and let us explain our reasoning?

    @Bronco@Bronco it is one thing voicing your concerns and expressing your worries about what we believe to be happening, but that was very personal. I do not think Edin is doing this deliberately, I think he is niave, and thinks he knows how to sort it. I think he is wrong, but that is just my view. If I thought for one minute that there is some kind of hidden agenda, I would writing a letter myself.

    So he/she can't be attention seeking if only Edin,Rupp, and WOTP know the name.

    I don't necessarily agree with the content of the letter but I personally wouldn't have gone through WOTP rarely read it unless someone posts a link on here, that's not to say I disagree withit's content.

    It wouldn't be my choice of words and I've been as vocal as most, but as WOTP says the copies that have gone to EDin & Rupp have his/her name and address on them, if they feel he's/she's overstepped the mark they either meet up and tell him/her or get their legal people involved.
    I agree I don't think he's trying to sink the club but when we as fans see things we may not like he should be questioned/accountable, because he's the co-chairman it doesn't put him above criticism IMO.

    See @Onside@Onside post #33 she summed it up better than me, it's a matter of integrity. And if you feel the need to make it public, then don't be ashamed/scared to give your name. Another posted has already corrected me about him giving his name to Rahic/Rupp, but my thoughts on it haven't changed.

    I believe it's WOTP who don't want to publish his identity, because he's already given it on the two letters he's sent to Edin & Rupp ?.

    Today, we’re going to allow the second rule to be broken for only the second time, and to allow a supporter to have an article – or more specifically a letter – published anonymously.

    "As a consequence, a huge number of season ticket holders have not renewed for next season and I am aware of many who have renewed but will not attend matches until you have left the club. All the hard work of others over the years (Julian Rhodes, Dave Baldwin, James Mason, Phil Parkinson, Stuart McCall and people behind the scenes who I don’t even know about) has been singlehandedly dismantled by you. This is a matter of incompetence."


    Interesting that Mark Lawn is missing from that list. Either the author didn't think he deserved a mention OR, the author was actually Mark Lawn?

    The plot thickens.

    I'd be very much surprised if it was Mark, Stefan has invited Mark to have a chat.

    Of course we have the right to challenge, but far too personal in my view.

    1981, so we're talking someone who is in their mid to late 40's in my opinion. The structure of the 'letter' indicates to me that we're talking about someone who doesn't often write articles or letters, and the grammar indicates a person who has basic skills in English language. One 'public' name springs to mind but if he wishes to remain anonymous that is up to him.

    When someone asked Mark Lawn about selling up, didn't he reply 'my hands were forced' or something along those lines.

    I wish I'd wrote it cos I'd be more than happy to put my name to it. Although my grammar is better I feel.

    Don’t you think it’s Jason who wrote this letter? I do.
    Seems like a good way to boost website and twatter visits.
