Well, here's a challenge; "There's none as deaf as those who won't listen. I get letters. If they are moronic, they go in the wastepaper basket, but if they are reasonable points, I try to explain." Time to get out the crayon and the Basildon Bond then.....?
I was considering, the other day, writing "this is what I think of your plan for Leeds United" on a tortilla wrap, folding it into an envelope and sending it to him. Seriously.
I could have picked something better and more hilarious to write it on, but I was about to eat some tortilla wraps when it occured to me.
We send metaphors, we're so much more sophisticated than those apes in Glasgow. The metaphor here is "your business plan doesn't make sense, just like this tortilla wrap in an envelop!".
My explanation was a simile. The act itself is a metaphor, as it is implied. and I didn't even do English at A level!
You've won me over. Let's pelt this bastard with imagery. They left a severed horse's head on a pillow to intimidate in The Godfather; for us it should be a well-placed echidna testicle. Let's confuse this ****er out of our club!
They do, but to opposition managers. I would hate to think any supporter of Leeds united would stoop to that level of sick depravity. Neil Lennon is doing a job like all managers and has a wife and kids who needed round the clock security at one point
This is why we're thinking of sending clear and strong but ultimately peaceful messages in the form of silly metaphors, like we explained above.
