I wonder whose voted here than
Even if you don't agree with the content, its worth a 5.
Can someone open then copy and paste on here. Server at work blocks me opening the letter ..... cheers.
doesn't anybody think it is a little unprofessional, wether you think KB is an idiot or not, to actually put it in the content of the letter?
Think about him sat in monaco, champaign breakfast, Porsche parked outside, opens his post and he reads some bin man calling a millionaire an idiot
Based on Ken's rants in his programme notes, he should be able to interpret this style of writing.
It's wrote by a supporter not a professional writer.
In words Bates will understand.
Just because he's really wealthy doesn't make him intelligent. A crook, uncaring,pig headed, arrogant, old twit whose got to watch his back wherever he goes.
He an keep it.
How many real friend's do you think he has, who are worth knowing.
Cozer, don't crooks do things illegal? - show me where Bates has ever done anything illegal.
and this is the same KB, who persoanlly thank all Leeds fans for coming to ER at the west ham game.... how arrogant of him eh?
I'll be honest I'm bored of talking Bates, so not going to bother anymore, LUFC Germany hit the nail on the head yesterday about us all talking about the same things, he was dead right IMO, made me think I'm wasting my time.... will speak soon I'm sure, but if we don't, in 3 years time, if / when we are premiership due to NW, and is backed as all the other managers have been, and as LUFC financial position gets stronger, who will you persicute then?
Good letter spoilt by insults. There are somethings I disagree with though especially around Grayson. Warnock's statements show he's in charge of signings not the Chairman.
Hes got to be better then brown right?
He's been and done it not to long ago.
Wait and see.
How many words do you think Ken would have read before he wiped his backside with it?
Didn't Warnock say recently that the budget he has been given is the largest he has ever had to work with? How can that be seen as not being backed? Unless you think he is lying, which I doubt very much.
QPR's £29m wage bill plus transfer fees paid of around £4m without selling players. If we have that budget we're laughing. Somehow doubt it.
Did that wage bill consist of players all brought in within the years budget, or were some pre existing?
Sometimes it's good to let rip but I doubt Bates will respond or take note.

Exactly - i've not read the letter, but if it's making comments like that, then they're utterly missing the point of dialogue with KB. He'll laugh himself to death (perhaps thats the subtle ploy!!!), pour himself another glass of bubbly and scratch his chin a bit more.
He's a lot of things - and not all good. But he's not an idiot.

It will have included pre existing players.
One of my favourite parts of the letter to Ken:
"Oh but wait, we've sold the same number as we had this time last year haven't we? Just over 10 000? We broke 10 000 at the start of April so we're on target to match last years figure, having sold the same number as the same stage last year? Wrong. Taken from your Yorkshire Radio interview on 23/3/2011, regarding season ticket renewals:
"Everything is looking good so thanks to the fans, the season tickets we have now sold 11,200 for next year, compared with 13,000 this year."
So, we had made 1200 more season ticket renewals two weeks earlier last season. To me that is nowhere near having match last years figure, so I'd appreciate it if I wasn't lied to."
He's Kenny Bates and he talks shiite!
"Ken Bates on Yorkshire Radio, 1st February 2012:
The first time I said ‘no’ to a player that Simon wanted to buy was last Thursday when he wanted to sign a player who was going to cost us £600,000 a year. I said ‘but you’ve already got six centre-backs, all of who you signed’.
…
But the face of the matter is, we’ve conceded more goals than almost any other club in the Championship and we’ve got three teenagers in the back four. Therefore we’ve reached as far as we can and the present system isn’t working.
Ken Bates programme notes, 11th February 2012:
…Simon wanted to sign a midfielder on a permanent contract on January 28 which would have cost the club nearly £1.5m over the length of his proposed contract. We already have nine midfield players, so I refused - the first time ever!"

Another classic from Batesy!

I get your point. But I do think if he had used a bit more nous he could of taken many more millions from LU by a bit more investment and treating the people better. In my opinion he's an idiot how he treats people. As I am a moron for questioning him.
A good letter, sadly ruined by the insults. IMO the more letters KB personally receives the more he'll take notice, but I fear that as soon as he reads a personal insult he throws it in the bin.
Just an opinion.
Agree with Chorley, Bates will have binned it by end of first paragraph.
Only to pull it out of the bin to note the name of the fan he should ban from getting tickets at ER.
