Saint in Paradise Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 Has anyone ever written him a polite letter and then recieved a reply? IF you have did it take very long for his responce to arrive? Please don't hijack this thread with stupid remarks, I am not trying to get yet another debate going between those who like him and those who don't. Also please remember that as this is my 3rd post today I am unable to respond for about 12 hours, Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 Yes and yes I did get a response but unlike left back and co it was a personal letter to him and it remains private to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 I think I understand your point, but do you really understand the complexities of running an ordinary large organisation ..and football clubs are anything except ordinary. If your letter is either " fan-mail, or the Comment / criticism type, doesn't rate as a high prioirity in the whole run of things . and I'm sure SFC wouldn't employ someone just to write nice relpies to everyone's letter. Letter-writing , or just letting off steam on sites like this are a good remedy for the stess and frustration of not haveing your side win 4-1 every week, but I really think NC (rightly so) has a higher list of prioirites that all the letters that inevitably flow in. Entreprenuers are fixed on their plan and mission are seldom swayed by outside influences / opinions. It's nice to get a reply. I once got a reply from Rupert Lowe when I expressed my thoughts on some matter, but he was polite but didn't agree with my viewpoint. but your point is well taken, however, it will seldom get the response you want, and if he ever got to read the letter..he'd either agree with you .--or he wouldn't.

Wes Tender Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 You would only get a reply that was highly spun PR written by some plank in london. Ah! The inevitable response from Smears. Look, chummy, read the OP's question and try and comprehend what he has asked. It was expressed in perfectly simple and unambiguous language and simple enough to understand. I'm going to assume that you have not written any letter to him. Am I correct? If so you are not really qualified to comment on what the response from him would be. The OP is trying to establish that, do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that it is extremely common for replies sent from the CEO are penned by subordinates so it would not be a surprise if this happened at SFC.

Upton72 Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 Wrote to him middle of last season to compliment the performance of the Ticket Office who helped me over a problem. He replied, a little while later, but well within the time I'd consider reasonable for a CEO to respond. Ever tried dealing with HMRC and getting a sensible response?

Saint in Paradise Posted 19 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 19 November, 2010 Thank you to the sensible posters who replied, no I will not post my letter on here. I admit that I am not the brightest but I certainly don't consider myself stupid enough to do that Anyway it was in Italian so not everyone would understand it. Ah maybe that is why I have not had a reply then, his typist couldn't understand it and to be on the safe side she just threw it away without bothering to let Mr C read it in case it upset him. I will say again that it was very polite and in no way should it have upset him. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They forget she demanded that the loans be paid back plus interest. As you say, thanks to Cortese, she is nearly a quarter of a billion pounds better off.
