Hello Mr Chairman,
I would guess that the tiny minority who have defended your time as chairman because they mistakenly felt that you were managing the clubs finances have had a bit of a wake up call with the latest set of figures.
You don't appear to have a clue how to manage the club that was the 2nd best in the country when you took over.
You appear to get every decision wrong and have done so for years; the sad thing is that those who have backed you from the stands appear to have a less than rosy future when it comes to watching football.
I really hope that the financial results which have been reported today are the last set of figures with your signature on.
I can’t think of a single positive thing to say about you, you even compare less than favourably when compared to what Doug Ellis has achieved at Aston Villa, he has finished above Newcastle more times than we’ve finished above them while you have been Chairman.
Your time as chairman closely resembles the board of directors that Sir John swept away, all of those years ago.
Not only are you an embarrassment to the club and City but the loss that you engineered by sacking Sir Bobby and appointing Souness is embarrassing to us all.
To make matters worse you’ve appointed a manager who seems to just go along with anything you do or say.
The fans wanted O’Neill or Hitzfeld, you wanted somebody that you could control, and you wanted a cheap option.
Once again you have failed to appoint a manager to take this club forwards, you've taken us in the other direction, this time the fans tried to pinpoint a manager because you said you would appoint the fans choice, you didn't, you labelled the fans work as a betting scam although you later denied it.
You've made your bed, now lie in it.
The funniest part was when you and your propaganda machine, Alan Oliver, told us that Glen Roeder was our choice.
Sorry, we could all see what that was doing; it was blaming us even before anything went wrong.
I hope that you are back from Holiday for the Sheffield game so that you can hear the calls for you to go.
Well it’s now up to the fans to heap enough pressure on you to make it so uncomfortable for you that you sell your shares and go.
You’ve heard “Shepherd Out,” get used to it because it will become the norm.
We’ll all see you for what you are when you sell up because I firmly believe that you will not have the interest of the fans and club at heart, you would have gone by now if that was the case.
I firmly believe that you will milk every penny you can out of the deal regardless of any damage done to the club.
Money in your pocket will be more important than potential investors having money to invest in the team.
You’ve taken enough out to ensure that any new owner has money to spend but that’ll not enter your mind.
If you are to go then please don’t lease any warehouses for the club at £150,000 per year, we’ve got more than enough.
Shepherd Out.

Nothing has been added, nothing left out, that's the entirity of the e-mail.
We await a reply although we know that somebody from the club was visiting the site the day after we sent the e-mail. So far we've had quite a few visits from the club since setting up the site.
