Here's the text of the letter in today's edition.

Plea for Change at Bayview

Dear Sir

There is one curious aspect to the current well-organised and growing protest against the chairman of East Fife FC and that is the absence of comment from the club or major shareholders.

So far this season Chairman Brown has misplaced two managers, has seen a 50% drop in paying customers, has presided over the club finishing in the bottom five of Scottish football, has alienated local businesses, has rejected several offers of investment and has shown the PR skills of Attila the Hun.

No board of a commercial organisation could possibly countenance such an abject record of performance in its management and yet we hear nothing from the major shareholders. Is there anyone associated with the club who can persuade Mr Brown that it is time he left? Do the Rodgers family or the guardians of the juvenile major shareholder feel their investment is safe? Are they confident that the club will continue to exist without a change at the top?

One thing is abundantly clear and that is that the protests will continue to grow in strength - last Saturday saw dozens of long-serving supporters leaving their seats early to join the protest. Does Mr Brown seriously believe that these fans will be buying season tickets next year?

Let me plead publicly with the other directors and major shareholders: use your authority and power to remove the current chairman and let us all come back to help rebuild the club.

Excellent letter

National press next

Well seeing you never got J.Derrick Brown to compose the letter for you Eugene. We can understand what you're saying. Wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Keep up the pressure he's ready to crack.
