    Agreed and one of the reasons I no longer read WOAP who have in my opinion, become far too self important in their views. Keep it simple, keep it funny like CG does. No need to take the moral high ground. Lessons should be learned from the way Lawn (apparently) had BFB shut down. WOAP is heading the same way.

    Fair enough, but he still wouldn't let the public know his name but is eager for us to know what he has to say. If I read a piece either by blog, or paper etc. I like to know who's written it. If you are scared to put your name to something then don't bother posting it.

    The anonymity will be due to him (mckeown) not wanting to give his source of information up. I had a suspicion and a comment I have seen elsewhere makes me think it is this mole who has sent the letter and that we know who it is, in fact he is probably reading this thread.

    WOAP are losing credibilty imo. They have an obvious agenda against the owners but hide it behind clever writing and 'journalistic integrity'.
    I'm guessing Keown was 'too busy' to get a response from Rahic.

    Sometimes i think the whole cabal (BB, WOAP, Radio Leeds, Sutcliffe, Parker) seem to have there hands up each others arses repeating each others crap.
    A bit like BB's "we know for a fact that some of the rumours are probably true" comment. Well, its either true or it isn't.

    Nice letter, says absolutely nothing other than some negative opinions of a (possibly or possibly not) random fan. In fact it is just someone who is out of date & didn't feel vindicated enough by posting the drivel on somewhere like here - he wanted to send I to the boss...

    Bet he complains when his paper boy hasn't delivered his paper by 9am (sharp) and the milkman forget those empties (for the second time this week Mavis....)

    Honestly the self importance of why they think their opinion even matters to the owners is beyond me - in fact could read like Edin wrote it to himself in a Jekyll and Hyde style.... hhhmmmm

    posted my opinion on the letter earlier in this thread.

    The line about A Matter of Heart is funny and true. Bit personal and unneccassary though.

    Does this make him a "Jack The Ripper" suspect ? He also sent a "dear boss" letter to Fred Abberline.

    What a bunch of blinkered tosh.

    Sell to someone who knows and understands Bradford? What? Have you looked at what people who know and love Bradford have done to the city? So we sell to soneone who is willing to accept low level mediocrity ( and that is giving Bradford the city the benefit of the doubt).

    Really it is just a lot of tosh. I hope the owners put it straight in the trash bin. It's another McCallite who can't get over that they fired their idol.

    Jeez this eejit really needs to get out more.

    I honestly don’t understand why this letter has been made public. If you wish to write to Edin or Stefan do so, sign your name. There are forums everywhere to voice your opinions. A letter as personal as this should not be published. It’s a matter of integrity.

    WOAP are copping more flak on twitter for taking the letter down than they probably would've for the content which does make you wonder if they were asked to remove it or did so of their own accord

    No, I'm an expert on the Whitechapel murders because I once went on a Ripper Walk and had a pint in the Ten Bells.

    Easy, it's called attention seeking................

    Thats because their following generally share the same agenda give or take a few rational folk and they have gone or are going a long way to brainwash the rest.. Its just not a balanced fanzine anymore

    He's sent his letter to Edin & Rupp with his name on it, and because of that WOTP are allowing his/her letter to be published.
    Edin Rahic – is aware of the letter, having received a copy (with author name included) after the final home game of the season.
    Credit to Stefan for inviting him to an open meeting with himself when he's next over here.

    How is it attention seeking when the article hasn't a name on it or user name as many on here have ?.
