supposed leaked emails twixt him, ecclestone (chief exec) and some club seller bloke.
Emails from Ian Ross. This was taken from Bluekipper. If its real its terrible. rom Ian Ross From: Hicduk To: denise.barrett-baxendale ; martin.evans ; david.harrison Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 22:04 If ever you required conclusive proof that he HAS lost it and that he IS unfit to lead etc etc...here it is....rambling, incoherent nonsense.........at a time when we are in financial meltdown

Guys Every now and again, prompted by seeing letters on desk and in pigeon holes, I wonder about who initially receives and opens letters addressed to ‘Everton Football Club’, or ‘The Board’ or ‘To Complaints’ or The Fan Liaison officer or ‘Marketing’, who/how is it decided where they go? Who then reads these inbound letters? (haven’t even thought about email or phone), and who looks to see if there’s anything we ought to know / or can learn and how that gets shared and passed on to the right people, who’s responding, and is that response ‘as we’d all want it to be’.
I’ve no reason to suggest it isn’t done well but I’d like to understand the process.As I said, I get some. I’ve just seen one in Michelle’s pigeon hole addressed to my saying we’re a disgrace because we don’t sell pennants – I didn’t get that one, I saw some on Graeme’s desk....etc
I just like to understand how the mailbag – which must be bigger than usual – is dealt with including how we all learn from any constructive feedback?
I get regular ones about why do we see LFC ads everywhere and not us....these might come to be, to Fan Centre, to Marketing etc....I would answer if it came to me and maybe I shouldn’t? Would Marketing answer?
If we do have a single point of contact for all, then we should stick to this, including email but we must share learnings and responses..

Hi, Delete this once you have digested, shaken your head repeatedly and then groaned.......
The Club is facing financial meltdown.....in my naivety I have always assumed that the man at the top should be busying himself with the hunt for money ( short and long-term ).
This is an example of where he is at....where his head is at.......he is all over the place.....he is, I believe, suffering some form of breakdown......we are swamped with stuff like this on a daily basis.....non-sensical rubbish which wastes valuable time and which leaves us all in despair.
Just quickly on the Blue Union firestorm.....I spent three months telling RE he MUST keep the militants out of the Club.....then, two weeks ago, he went behind my back and met them...but he didn't even have the courtesy/balls to tell me....he then ( astonishingly ) recommends that Bill meets them....again, all behind my back...Bill meets them...they secretly tape the meeting ( as I would have told him they would had someone kept me in the loop )....the result? A 3000 word verbatim piece on the Blue Union website which makes Bill ( and, indeed, all of us ) look VERY stupid....Bill is mortified.....it's a joke.......delete and ring later
