Ok instead of sitting back and complaing to nobody imparticular - we as the fans should right a letter complaining to the club (like you would any other faulty product) Many of us have seen the problems - commented on them 100s times in the last month so lets flag them up to the club For how this started see blueandamber.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1080147241blueandamber.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1080147241If you have ranted in the last week - take 10 mins and compose a well written letter that sums up you feelings, frustrations, problems and solutions and PM them to me, we all have it in us (see Jps for an example of the things we are looking for - and try and add questions in to it) It is then the process of picking the best and all putting our names to it - and giving the club a chance to respond if they want too (although we will in all chances be egnored ) and then forward this to the press - who will take this im sure!!! So if you are going to stand up for your club Post here to say you will PM a letter and we can get started of our right to reply If you think this is a pointless idea fine - but dont waste people time by saying do on here cos something - no matter how small needs to be done this week!!!

Will This Do?
To the board of Directors of Shrewsbury Town FC: -
As fans of Shrewsbury Town Football Club we feel that we should be listened to and not taken for granted.
We the undersigned would like the following positive action from the board of directors to be implemented immediately.
1. Jimmy Quinn and his first team managerial / Coaching staff to have their contracts terminated with immediate affect.
2. A senior player to be immediately installed as player manager until the end of season, with the players nominating and voting on the appointment themselves.
3. A definitive statement and full apology from Roland Wycherley regarding the decision not to introduce reduced price games, having stated this as club policy during pre-season.
4. That every member of the board undertakes to resign in the event that STFC does not reach the play-off final.
The undersigned...

I agree with your intentions here guys, but to include the clause about the board resigning regarding the play-off final will lose you all credibility.
Whilst the board of directors do have an obligation the the shareholders and the financial institutions, they actualy have very limited responsibility for non-finance related matters, unless those activities break the law.
I fully understand, from a fans point, that you are as mad as hell with them. But you are, in effect, a customer of the organisation. Whilst they may well want you "onside" with them, they are unlikely to commit to anything which is a non-financial legislative issue.
You want to get your points across in a structured manner, without inciting the board directly too much!
Hope this helps!

As SNFC says, get rid of 4 and I'd consider signing it.

I said on the other thread that it sould stop short of calling for people to go - just point out why there would be justification for them to do so!! (and as for the board they have made mistakes and some responsibility is theres) But i dont think they persoanlly think this seasons been that bad - hopefully this letter can change there minds!!!
It should just be fan feeling - expressed in a letter that can show what they have made us feel like - there are so many topics that this letter can cover but just any of the points will do asmlong as the show the dissatisfaction
Cheers for the imput Steve

Find us a group of people who each put in 6 figure sums then maybe number 4...if you cant...its a pointless excercise leaving STFC with no money whatsoever.

I'm sorry, but apart from thinking that we still have a better than even chance to make the play-offs, are we really serious about appointing a senior player as manager and getting the players to vote for it.
The board would never sanction the players appointing the manager, especially as it is the board who put the money in. Would you, if you were the board, like it if a player who has been at the club a few months, has more say in the most important appointment at the club.
The board will not change the manager now and, I think we have to be fair to Jimmy and allow him until the end of the season. We are only a point outside the play-offs. I, for one, don't care if we sneak into the play-offs in fifth having played crap and sneak through on penalties. Birmingham City did that the year they went up and I didn't hear their fans complaining.

To: The Board of Governors, STFC
Dear Sirs,
We are becoming increasingly concerned with regard to the lack of commitment which our players seem to be showing on the field of play. We do not know if this is due to poor coaching, lack of interest, or nerves due to the level of high expectation we as fans have placed upon ourselves.
However, we do feel that, following last season's debacle, we are entitled to voice these concerns to you and ask that the following points be taken into consideration:
1. Should STFC fail to achieve a playoff place - the very least we have come to expect - the position of the manager and coaching staff be the subject of review.
2. The possibility of appointing a player manager from the existing playing staff be looked at.
3. Consideration of making certain games next Season 'cut price' for all and certainly some for children.
How is this?
Just a personal thought: JQ has been appointed for 2 years - are we reacting to last year? Does it take 2 years for a team to really jel? I don't know as I said when I joined my knowledge of the 'finer' points is very limited. But look at Dario Grady and Alex Fergusson didn't they take some flack in the early days? As I say, I don't know.

Thats a very good point about Gradi and Ferguson, but Im sure every clubs fans use one or both of them as examples. At the present time we dont look good enough to make the play offs and its a shocker

Dear Sirs, 1) If one of your firms had a management team who had brought such utter disaster to your organisation in five years as you have would you leave them in charge? 2) If the manager of one of your firms made a performance related promise at the beginning of the year and then failed how would you deal with it? 3) If your recruitment consultant gave you three manager in five years who all failed abysmally at the task given to them how would you treat the recruitment consultant? 4) If a management team at one of your companies alienated a large percentage of your regular and trusted clients by consistently feeding them half baked promises for the future and never fulfilling anything how would you react? 5) If a senior director of one of your companies refused to ever meet his customers or clients would you consider them to be weak? yours, The undersigned
