Here's your chance to write to John Hollins about any Swans matter you like.
John Hollins has refused to respond to any of the messages that I have sent to him from this page. However, I will leave them on this site for him to read if he wishes. |
Dear John I was really disappointed today by the fact that you or any of the players did not come out to thank the loyal supporters for their support this season. Im a season ticket holder and i love the swans. My brother attends every game with me even though he is not a season ticket holder. I am hoping that we will get promoted next season and then hopefully abit of thanks for our support. Charles Morriston 5/5/01 Dear John I was debating wether to go down to see the Brentford game, and I'am so glad I did. I think that was the best performance of the season, every player gave 100%. Even when we were six up and heading towards the final whistle we were determined to keep them out, a clean sheet gives the defence and the rest of the squad confidence. Another win on saturday against Cambridge and our confidence will be sky high even if we are relagated. It just goes to show what they can really do if they try hard enough. The only compliant I had was the attendance, 2,002 is just not good enough. Where are the supporters when the team needs them most? All the best for next season! A Loyal Fan! Christopher Gamble Swansea 2 May 2001 Dear John Much of this season and indeed last was appalling but saturdays defeat at Oxford was shambolic ! You have to go !!! Stuart Roberts reaction on saturday is what we expect from those who wear the shirt, not the embarrasment of you skulking off after another gutless and clueless performance. It is obvious to most that the squad has not been good enough for a number of years despite your protestations, you're treatment of senior pros like Jones and Bound throughout this season particularly has been nothing short of disgraceful, your comments regarding the fans over the course of the season has shown the contempt with which you hold those of us who will still be here long after you have returned from whence you came and your apparent blind faith in those who are clearly not up to the job such as Boyd and Cusack beggars belief. Please do the honourable thing and resign your lucrative post now. We may then be able to have someone that knows what it takes to be a Swansea City fan, till I die my friend, till I die !!!!! Andy Andy Bowen B.E.A.S.T. 1 May 2001 Dear John By now you know the opinion of the majority of supporters.But I must say I do not blame you for not resigning, The last year you have been paid for doing nothing because that is what you did for this football club absolutly nothing and the only chance you have of being paid for being paid in football the next couple years is for them to sack you, so i hope3 they do it soon because there is no chance of you doing the honorable thing because you are not a honorable man good look for the future just go away from here. gorseinon jack gorseinon 29\04\2001 Dear John I've always had faith in you when others have said you don't know what you're doing, but after losing to Oxford today I'm afraid that the only thing you possibly do is say goodbye to the vetch and resign!! Please end our misery! I'm afraid to say John that you wouldn't even get a job for fruit picking company! All the best in the future John! Nick Frampton Southampton 28/04/01 Dear John Please resign John for the club's sake we are all fed up with your constant Crap and Excuses. When you couldn't even pick your nose,sorry to say this John but your day's are numbered here at the Vetch. Please put us out of our misery and resign. Ian Swansea 25/4/01 Dear John My Dad was Peter Houseman. I know you were good friends and would love to meet you. You probably know more about him than me. Please get in touch. Daniel Houseman 24/4/01 Dear John Your a nice bloke but......... Resign before you completely make a fool out of yourself (your 3 quarters of the way there so far). Very sad and depressed jack Phil Richards Carmarthen 25/3/01 Dear John can you help shed some light on the wales situation, because many of my friends and i feel that wales hav the potential of qualifying for a major international competition. Just take a look of the players we have: Matt Jones, Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Robbie Savage, John Hartson, Craig Bellamy, these players can deliver the goods day in day out of the prem, and look at our national team we are placed at 111 in the world rankings, I know that 6 players dont make a team but we still have capable players like Nathan Blake, Chris Coleman, Andy Melville, Robert Page, Mark Delany. So wot is the problem with going to places like Belarus and losing? I'm not critisising Mark Hughes as I'm sure he's desperate to make us qualify but i dont think he's the man for the job, firstly he's hasn't even had domestic managerial experience. I'd love to see Brian Flynn take over the hot seat after the qualifyers. Even though Mark Hughes heart is the right place, but he lacks the knowledge. Paul Lewis swansea 24/03/01 Dear John i'm sure you've noticed that fans are not happy with the recent run off results and some supporters are even calling for your head. Even though we are in a troubled postion in the league, all the north bank will be in full voice for todays game, so we're doing our bit so pull your finger out and do yours. North Bank Jack Abertawe 10th March 01 Dear John I know we are not playing our best football at the moment, but I still think it will come. I just want to know when our luck is going to change on the pitch, I don't think ref's like us very much, and if they do then they have a funny way of showing it. I think the 2 new boys from France are good players but I think we need experinaced players in the starting 11. Keep working hard!!! huge swans fan Chris Gamble Swansea 5th March 01 Dear John I'm very very very disappointed of Swansea. New defeat today against Notts C. Div 3 Champs last season. Div 2 Catastrophal this season. Why????????????????? Look at Rotherham, Peterboro and Northampton! From very angry Patrik Patrik Revelius Stockholm, Sweden 20.02.01 Dear John we have been going to the vetch for a year and a bit now and we are totally committed fans. last season they were brilliant but we honestly don't know what has gone wrong with the team. they don't seem to be responding and they are not playing to the standard that we saw them last season. we seriously think that we will face relegation but hopefully with the right commitment that the team will show and with the support from the true fans then fingers crossed we can stay in division 2. good luck. chins up!!! do your best!!! Sarah &Catherine Burry Port 11-02-01 Dear John I am wondering why Bound has been benched lately? In the match v Bristol City I would have expected him to play. I know it was very unlucky that we only managed a 3-1 defeat, but we knew that Bristol City would be difficult to beat. Can we expect Matthew Bound in the starting line up for the next match? Jannik Hansen Copehagen 3/1 2001 Dear John Cher John J'ai lu encore que vous regardez pour apporter deux nouvelles importations du club du conducteur de Swansea, rue Germain de Paris. Je me demande comment votre expertise est parvenue à trouver ces joueurs. Je devine que vous devez avoir une équipe de scouts qui récurent toute la cueillette de l'Europe vers le haut des meilleures personnes dans vos yeux pour le travail. J'espère sérieusement que vous savez ce que vous faites John - si vous nous obtenez relégués alors lui serez unforgiveable dans mes yeux et vous obtiendrez le sac. Mieux de la chance John vous pouvez avoir besoin d'elle. Phil Sumbler Swansea 02/02/01 Dear John Just want to say that I really do believe we can pull clear from the bottom four. Take a look at the teams around us, Oxford were not better than us, Luton we beat 4-0 and played them off the park, Swindon are nowhere near as good as us, Port Vale are not up to much either. But I know that we are. We won the championship last season. A team doesn't become a bad team over night. We just have to keep at it, keep playing, and keep working hard. I went to the Reading match on tuesday night, it was scrappy but the team did work hard for each other. Reading were reduced to a couple of chances and I think on the whole we deserved the win. We need to show that spirit and determination in league matches, after all the league is most important. Keep up the good work!!! Huge swans fan Christopher Gamble Swansea 31st Jan Dear John listen to us hollins u geek! can't u see that our current squad are no were near strong enough to stay in the second division. either u sort it out or u will see us in the basement league for yet another season. sort it out or get out. it's your choice! chris carmarthen 30-01-01 Dear John Don't listen to the people who are asking you to buy new players, they obviously don't realise that the manager does not sign the cheque book. The owners of the club pay the wages and buy the players not you so everyone should appreciate the situation you are in. Obviously with a squad of 30 it is far too big for a club of our size. If you could cut it back to say 24 it would be ideal. The teams at the top of the division are proof. Unfortunately clubs may not want to buy any players (and who can blame them after some of their performances) so we are in a catch 22 situation which is difficult to get out of. We obviously don't want to give them away so do we offer them new contracts to stop them going on a free and hope we can sell one or two of them. What would you do John? Tough Question. Keep asking the money men and give them your opinions John. Go with what you believe is right for this club and don't listen to those who know nothing about the game or the fans who think you should resign. You're the most genuine manager we've had at this club for a long time. PS I also think a quick sweeper for cover in the centre is worth a try. Mike E Swansea 28-01-01 Dear John I know this season has been dissapointing so far but i feel that you are still the right man for the job. The signings that you have made with your limited resources have proved to be shrue investments. Saverese being top goal scorer, I know that if you had more money t spend that you would become one of the most succesful managers in Swansea's History but I know this is not possible with the current cash situation. Anyway i am writing to ask you to please give the club all you have and stay and fight for a club that needs you. Selling the want away players, players who don't share the same feelings about this club as you and I do would also bring in extra team spirit as well as reduced wage bills and added money. A Sweeper system would be good as well as The current bunch of centre halfs at the club are just not quick enough to caatch the strikers of the second division and we have been made to pay for this this season (Lua Lua, Defoe, Rammel and Liddel.) You know how good it was after Exeter and Rottherham last season try and remind the players of this and they have nothing to be afraid of. Joe Diamond Port Talbot 25.01.01 Dear John I am very sorry to say but i seriously think that Swansea have not been playing to their best standard. I couldn't get to Walsall last week but i think we played very poorly and that Roger Freestone let us down a lot, I seriously think that he is getting to old for all this now and maybe you should think of getting a younger goal keeper who is more enthusiastic in what he does. A commited Swansea city fan. Sarah James Llanelli 24/01/01 Dear John Just listened to you on Swansea sound calling the supporters who booed the team off the pitch "idiots". Well John, if you keep putting out a team that "performs" like that then we'll keep booing until you either bring in the players we need, (which it appears you don't want to do), or you resign and make way for a manager that will. JMB 21 1 2001 Dear John why dont you stop being a yes man and resign,thats all you ever do is say we are good enough to stay up if it takes us to smash the club to pieces to get you and maclure out then we will do it , one last thing ban the evening rugbyite post from the vetch they will never ever ban a swansea fan the jackle east side jackland 20 1 2001 Dear John I think sometimes I could do a better job than you. If there is no money for signings why dont you just tell us we cant buy anyone because it is obvious to everyone we need strengthening, especially in midfield. I dont mean to sound Like im having a go at you because I am a big fan of yours. I am sorry but I do feel the players are letting you and us down somewhat. Bradley Wood Rhos 15 01 2001 Dear John i am writting to say that my opinion of you as the manager of the swans is ratied highly even if we dont avoid the drop you will still have my support i would like to question why are star players such as jj price and super savaraese transfer listed ! chris pippins Swansea 30/12/00 Dear John Well Done, A much needed win for the team & supporters.Now where do we go from here, I hope that this excellent win was not a one off.Whatever the problems behind the scenes YOU are the man to get us back on track.Lets face it John you have had very little money to play with, got us out of div 3, hopefully keep us up this season, and progress & improve next season.You need support & backing from the board to be successfull.I hope you can use all your experience & good management to turn this club into a successfull club. Lets not forget, that we are a Team & that stems from the boardroom down to the supporters. Best Wishes & Happy New Year To The Whole Team. Simon Rees swansea 27/12/00 Dear John what a brill win today. I though the swans played well in the second half. And i was very happy to see steve jones get a goal. I hope you can keep it up now. Lets hope they can do the same on saturday.Lets get out of the bottom 4. And what else made me happy today was that cardiff lost. good luck to all the team. Dont let me down on saturday. rhiannon swansea 26/12/2000 Dear John On returning from Adams Park, after watching Wycombe Wanderers Comfortably beat us i am wondering what is going on. Thomas and Price are going so is anybody going to replace them?? I see that theres a message there that says that i shouldn't support Swansea. Well paying £10 every home game and travelling to 50% of away games, watching poor displays week-in week-out i thing that i deserve answers! Get some new people who want to play for Swansea and get them fast. Stuart Davies Swansea 23/12/00 Dear John hi john, u want to say that what stuart davies sayd bout the swans is a load off rubish.he should not support swansea city if he feels like that. he is not a true supporter. swansea are going through a ruff time but they will get through it. and there defently not the worst in the second division. good luck to all the swans and i would just like to say that i met david romo and mathew bound last night in the book store and would like to say just how nice they are. i had my photo with them and they were lovely. good luck to both of them there both brilliant players. luv rhiannon rhiannon swansea 14/12/2000 Dear John I think that this team has no Commitment or passion. Saverese touches the ball about 5 times in a game and Watkin the Same. They do not Shoot from further that 6 yards out. Please do Something as i feel you are the man for t6he job but you have to much Faith in our team, and they are Probably the Worst team in Divison 2. Rotherham, Peterborough and Northampton all Spent money in the Summer Why Haven't you? Stuart Davies Swansea 10-12-00 Dear John Please john for gods sake give boyd a chance he is so much better than watkin . He would complment savo brilliantly . Boyds flair with savos finishing and boyds not bad either with decent service please play them together . I no your madly in love with watkin dont no why mind but please give this dream partnership a chance . mark swansea 3/12/00 Dear John and the whole team, I'm training to be a priest in the Church of England and I am a life long Swansea Jack. I have total faith in you all to stay up and know you will continue to be the top team in Wales. All my prayers, Up the Swans, Danny B Eavns Lancing College, Sussex 25th Nov. 2000 Dear John I have been a follower of the Swans since my youth growing up in the valleys.I saw them play against Ipswich, Spurs, Everton, etc..... I am pleased to see them gain promotion but I have to admit, living near Ipswich, I don't get to see many games!! I am hoping to get to see them against Cambridge and Colchester (the nearest teams to where I live!). Good luck. Football is a game of confidence. A team which stormed the division last May cannot be bad enough to drop out of that league!! Play with heads held high, and thoughts of winning. Since your arrival, there is at last, hope.After 18 years without much going on, Swansea are on the up!! Some 'budgie'fans (Norwich) reckon that the game you gave them last year in the Worthington Cup was the best opposition they'd seen all year. I think you have done a great job, and keep ploughing on. Andy East Anglia (Ipswich country) 23/11/00 Dear John I've just seen on the BBC webpage that Dean Saunders has turned down a loan move to Dundee United because he doesn't want to move his family to Scotland. Now the lads old man still lives in Swansea doesn't he, I'm sure he'd love to retire on the coast, his birthplace, get Deano back at Swansea...he'd play his heart out for us, and teach a few of the youngsters a thing or two about passion. All the best otherwise, I'm sure you'll sort it out by Christmas Matt Parry London 23.11.00 Dear John good afternoon john, or is it? at present, everyday seems a bitter pill to swallow! constant bad news or rumours surrounding the vetch field, us the fans deserve better!!! and that is a fact, we turn up week in, week out, pay our hard earned money at the turnstiles to watch our heroes play the game we all love, including your good self! it is very disatisfying to see people like neil mcclure and mike lewis associated with the club let alone running it! i would say the majority of fans have faith in both you and alan and what you are trying to achieve, your recruits have been of very good quality and the strides we made last season were magnificent! i look at cardiff and see a wealth of investment pouring into their club and recouping all that welsh talent that seems to be slipping through our net! i ask of you, when will you make a stand to neil mcclure and demand money for transfers that will take us up the league. i bet you get the same questions thrown at you of late. but we deserve answers, i dont suppose N.M or M.L is gonna supply us with any! i ask of you, a great footballing man! do you see what we can from the stands? you were quoted in the evening post saying " if anyone who thinks my players are lacking confidence, then they are waytching a different game to me". well it is apparent that we are watching a different game to you. also the general feeling regarding your timing of substitutions, is that you leave it to a time where the sub has no real time to become effective. we respect you are the manager and you make the decisions but surely you can understand our frustrations, or can you? have you tried sitting in the stand and leaving alan make the decisions, maybe then and only then will you be able to understand! but we do have a voice and we certainly have opinions! its about time something very positive happened down the vetch, regarding quality signings, established pros!!!!!! that can make a huge difference to our season! loan, short-term, long-term, permanent whatever will get us out of this rut! just take a look at rotherham john, we finished champions, yet their investments in players like mark robins may well take them up again???????? all the best for the rest of the season if you are still in post! i would appreciate your reply or any comments you may have to share! a very concerned swansea jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim harding swansea 22/11/2000
Dear John
I think your doing a fantastic job at the vetch. I rememeber
last season when we were going through a purple patch, but
we came out of that with flying colours. And I think we will
do the same. Something tells me that since Steve Hamer has
left we haven't been doing so well, I don't know weather
that has something to do with it. Whatever it is I beleive
we can get through it, we can't become a bad team over
night, lets face it this is the same side which won the
championship last season at Rotherham. So come on John, lets
lift our heads and get something up at Cambridge, then lets
aim for the three points against Bristol Rovers a week
saturday, we can do it and at the end of the season I
believe we can finish in mid table. I'll be down there
singing my heart out against Bristol Rovers, as should every
other swans fan.

Dear John Ignore the critics,and the fans that are calling for your head,I know that you will turn things around.A good manager does not become a bad one in a matter of games.You'll do it John,keep the faith.I know that you are a good manager,and will get us out of this mini crisis. Phil Richards Carmarthen 16/11/00 Dear John You have done a brilliant job since you came here but at the moment i think you have lost the plot. You keep taking off our good players i.e. Rome and Savarese when we need them the most. You also keep playing players out of position. Why do you keep playing Price he does nothing for us and then lets the oppersition score. I am only 14 but what i have seen in recent weeks hame and away is worse then when Alan Cork was here. I know we are in a higher divison but we are just no perfoming and you are not getting the lads up for it. I belive you should drop Watkin and play Boyd. Drop Price and play Steve Jones. Play Appleby instead of Jenkins and buy a left sided winger. Hope you turn it round and see you at Bournemouth. James Howell Pembroke Dock 15-11-00 Dear John come on jonny pick the lads up mate we know we have the best manager in the 2nd div so lets prove to all the people who are callin for your head, now we can see who r the true fans of our club. Im backing u john mate so dont worrie just get on with the job john. all the best jonny hollins from your no 1 fan JONNY HOLLINS BARMY ARMY!!!! Darren Thomas swansea 15/11/00 Dear John I would like to comment on the poor performance against Oxford.Before the game we were saying that if we lost today then we definatly in trouble. The team was more or less perfect except for a lack of motivation amongst the team and this has to point to the management. I am a season ticket holder for the fist time and am regreting it at the moment.I feel that we need some new faces within the management to try and get the team somewhere or else we will be going back down to division 3 although we had such a good season last year. I hope there is better to come or there is going to be a lack of support for club in the future. robert Davies Brecon 13/11/00 Dear John my name is richard o'connor i am 20 yrs old i am a life swansea city fan and i am writting to you if you can help me to rise money for cash for kids appeal on wedensday 15/11/2000 at swansea megabowl. Richard O'Connor Neath College 9/11/2000 Dear John I recently wrote to you about the terrible performance against Port Vale I watched the match against an impressive Bristol City side and was glad to see our boys playing the way we know they can. I thought Savarese played extremely well and chased everything all night showing his willingness to do well for the club. Also the return of Ritchie Appleby and Walter Boyd cheered me up and made me look forward to the forth coming matches.Did you notice John Hartson scoring AGAIN for Wimbledon we still think he would relish the chance to play for his home town club. Money would not be a problem as myself and some friends could easily put some pocket money aside for the transfer fee. Good Luck against Oldham and hopefully we will pick up the 3 points if the game is on. Richard Passmore Swansea 3/11/00 Dear John John I am a season ticket holder for the north bank and I found the performance against Port Vale was unacceptable. I'm sure you had your reasons for not playing David Romo but aswell as others I belive he's our best player and surely could at least start the game and then come off toward the end if you felt he needed a rest. Also it is no good just buying a good striker, we also need someone out wide or in the centre to supply him. I will be there tonight supporting the team as always and hopefully I will see a much improved performance with both new boys playing at their best. I belive that when Boyd is fit he would make a great partnership with Savaresa. Also I am sure you've noticed John Hartson's desire to come to the Swans so perhaps a cheeky bid would lure him to the South Coast. Richard Passmore Swansea 31/10/00 Dear John is it true that steve jones is fed up down the vetch and the old club he played for want's him back. Tell steve jones pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee dont leave, he is a brilliant player and i know loads of supporters who do not want him 2 leave. it would be very sad to see him go. so please tell him to stay at swansea,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thanks Rhiannon Jenkins swansea 17/10/2000 Dear John after watching todays performance against bury, i wonder would a loan striker be a suitable solution to the goals problem whilst you search for our new number 9. tommy mutton does not have the experience or strength so it seems and walter needs to be fed through-balls because he just lacks aerial ability. perhaps when mr. appleby returns he can provide support with a free role?? also is it true that michael keegan came from southampton trainees?? ps. ignore your doubters, look what happened when u did that last season! we got promoted! good luck scott (centre stand regular) swansea 30/9/00 Dear John I read with interest that you are linked with the post of Millwall Manager. I have been in Hong Kong for nearly thirteen years, and not since the time I left Wales have Swansea had such an astute Manager. Please do not leave. I think, judging from all the Web-Sites that I visit you are the Man to take the Swans "back" into the First Division, where they, and YOU belong. Em Watkin Hong Kong 23.09.2000 Dear John If you are so determined not to sign a striker!,then play Cusack up front all the time instead of Mutton.Against Luton,it is probably one of the best performances that I have seen Cusack display.He won the balls in the air and showed some good creative play when on the floor.It was great to see us playing some short,slick passing.It also proves that when we create chances,we can put them away.So far this season,we haven't been creating chances.Well done to Lee Jenkins and Gareth Phillips.Their performances were excellent and it shows what the youngsters can do.They are hot prospects.Good luck in Reading.It may well be our toughest game so far this season.We'll be there to cheer the boys on. 'Swansea till we die' Phil Richards & Marc Gordon Carmarthen 18/9/00
Dear John
I am twelve years of age and i am writing to you
tell you that i think that we might be a bit more sucessful if we
signed a new striker to partner Walter Boyd or just as back up. As
Julian Alsop left we have lacked goals, not that Alsop scored many but
he was decent and would have been back up for Water Boyd.
We also lack width when we play if you watch any Premiership
club they have all got width and the abillty to cross the
ball into the danger area and we have not got that. I would
like to see Coates working down that left side and getting
into the box (a bit like Ryan Giggs).

Dear John i dont know if u remmember me but on the open day at the vetch i asked u if u could send me steve jones,s autograph because i am his biggest ever fan. u had my address and i still have not had it. i am not very happy because i really wanted it. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee get back 2 me and send me his autograph. thank u steve jones biggest fan rhiannon rhiannon swansea Thursday, September 7 Dear John The topic of getting a striker will be ongoing until we get a quality one. Everybody knows that we will are in the s**t when walter or watkin get injured. However, you are doing a great job and I can understand that you don't want to get any old striker who won't do the job for us. Why has everyone forgotten that we won the championship last season? We are all behind you. As for Wannacot, if you don't want to support the club you can always go down the road to join up with your uncle sam. I stand on the north bank and I bet you are one of those t***s who one minute love hollins and the next abuse him only for the next day loving him again. stuart swansea 1/09/00
Dear John
I think you are doing a brilliant job at the club. If it
wasn't for you we would still be in div 3. I believe you are trying
your best to bring in a striker, it must be hard and very frustrating
for you and everyone else at the club. I think the Result on Bank
Holiday Monday was a huge one, thats just what we needed. I even fancy
our chances at WBA. Take them to pens!!! I think we will finish this
season off in mid table and really go for it next year. Keep up the
good work John!

Dear John Sign some decent players, you are meant to be the man in the know, personally I don't reckon you know anything at all and a re a weak man. The scenes on the NB on Saturday will be repeated if you don't pull your finger out, you are fast becoming a bloody joke. We don't want unrest just a team that at least you have tried to do your best with, quit the puppet man antics and have some pride in yourself. Or do you like being dominated ? And Harding below, get a life you loser, whats the problem? Like being lied to by this lot do you, I bet your Mrs gets away with murder you southern softy. Get some nouse joker. Dave Wannacot Swansea 31/8/00 Dear John I support swansea city and probaly will all my life this season i was determined to buy my own swans top and saved to raise the £40.00 for the top eventually i got there and was over the moon when i wore it for the first match but it all opened and was a mess so i took it back and it was sent away it came back all shapes and looked terrible on so i took it back and had a new one by now i was on my third top and guess what its still the same !! im really dissapointed ive been offered a refund but if i wanted a refund why buy the top if swansea wants to look like a proffesional team how about proffesional looking tops they are really letting us down at the moment i have taken my top to a dress maker and she was appauled with tops and wouldnt pass them through her line !!!! i would like to write the manafacture but thought you should be aware of the problem, first thanks love vicky Vicky Swansea 30 august Dear John Why hasn't there been a striker signed over the summer? at the moment we have an outstanding defence, and our midfield will do, but Walter's injury as well as Birdy and Julian leaving has showed how weak our squad is when it comes to strikers. Nick Cusack is a good player, but against Wigan he proved that he is most definately no longer a centre forward. When Tommy Mutton came on he had a few good touches and he worked hard but deep down, he will never be second division class. We need somebody who is proven to do the business who will score atleast 25 goals a season. Steve Watkin has played at this level before and has shon that he has got what it takes and Walter should now be able to play his own football now that he is playing at a higher level where the ball is no longer kicked in the air. However if one gets injured then it will be the same old story which has happened to the club over many years due to there being no class up front. Marco Gabbiadini would have been a good signing as well as coming cheap but instead all transfer talk is about some has-been who a while ago played for Chelsea. We need a striker now. Mcy Cimla 19 august 2k Dear John Congratulations on winning the championship keep up the good work all the best in division 2 love vicky ps jacks always come out on top!!!

PHIL HEREFORD 9th AUG 2000 Dear John Jan Molby sells Kiddys best player to Greenock Morton for £25.000 + 15% of any sell on fee (to repay and outstanding favour).Andy Brownrigg is worth at least £200.000. John Hollins gives Julian Alsop away to Cheltenham.Last season Ruhden offered £100.000. Doesn't this tell you something about the judgement and intrgrity of our past and present managers? RW 28 July 2000 Dear John Please dont let us down like has happened numerous times times before.I am looking at papers and tv everyday and there is no transfers taking place.You have taking us one step foward but unless the players start coming in then sadly it will be two steps back (e.g.Cardiff).We desperatley need a goalscorer to stand any chance of holding our own next season.We have seen this happen in the past.You are doing a great job but reality is that we will do nothing next season without 2 or 3 good signings.Lets see it happen john.
