Look, everyones's entitled to their view, opinions, vision for the team and that's the wonderful thing about supporting a footy team. There's just so many damned ways to win a game and be successful, so there's also going to be just as many opinions. I'm cool with that and with you believing that we should've have X number of players already signed up by Nov. 1st and we should've been paying overs for each one of them. Your view, which I strongly disagree with, but you're entitled to it.
My concern with yourself and supporters like you is that you simply don't listen to other views. You don't take any reasonable argument or view onboard unless it matches your own. I can be really stubborn myself, but numerous times I've come on here even in the past week and changed my stance a little bit as another poster has said something quite reasonable and thought out. Our role as a supporter is to do that.
Agree with you that as a fanbase we need to have our voices heard. That we need to speak up. It's really important as without us this club would be nothing. They know this, I'm sure. However, as a fanbase it's our responsibility to educate ourselves on matters so when we make a point it comes across that we know what we're talking about. That it's worthwhile listening to the fans more. That our voice actually could mean something. By approaching the club as a fan you're representing all of us, you know that right?
Your email is full of hearsay, information straight from the press, or things that have been explained before. You quote other supporters as it's supposed to carry some weight. From my viewpoint it's utterly embarrassing. Not the views but how badly it comes across.
We, yes THE supporters, voted in this board. A large part of their campaign during the elections was to do the things connected to the club behind closed doors. We wouldn't be in the media all the time. They're acting or trying to act in accordance to how WE voted. Now you're writing to Hill to go against that for you by revealing details about our potential approaches to players, managers etc.
As I said, you're entitled to your views and I respect your right to contact the club with your thoughts. I'd hope next time you may try to represent the fans' views in a better way rather than being so selective because, let's be honest, you knew before sending that email that a large number of posters on here don't necessarily agree with you, your views, or your continued attempt to enforce your views on everyone.
