    We now have a pair of Hunts...... <whistle>


    On a serious note he said they should have sacked Kean before he got them relegated. Fair play to him he was 100 percent right on that one.

    Correct me if I am wrong but didn't he help bring in investments from the Chicken farmers at Blackburn & also whilst at Leicester City before that?

    Plus he is only acting CEO!!! Perhaps whilst a restructure takes place.

    Hope he made a copy of that letter he will need to send it again soon <whistle>

    Yeah Kean should've gone about 10 games after he was appointed. In fact sacking Allardyce (whatever you think of him and his tactics, he keeps sides in the Premiership) and replacing him with Kean was a ridiculous move in the first place. Can hardly blame Hunt for saying he should be sacked after he oversaw their relegation.

    They sacked Allardyce when they were in 6th position I believe. A completely stupid sacking

    Its not a good letter, I would not have written it. I can see it was written as a result of frustrations he had, and he clearly felt the remote location of the owners was a problem. Its weak to make "promote me to CEO" your first point in a ten point plan, and in fact it would have been better have split his messages/recommendations into more than one communication, given their diverse nature.

    However, the whole tone is one of a man trying to control his frustration with all manner of things, so perhaps its a bit harsh to criticise him too much. I think if the owners were as out of touch as he implies, he was hopelessly optimistic to think he could cover all that ground in one unsolicited letter.

    With regards Leeds and implications for us, he does not come over as a big hitter. But perhaps we don't need that. I don't know.

    No problem with the content of most of that letter (apart from begging for a payrise and a promotion)
    But the way he leaked the letter to his mate (of course his mate will say it wasn't him) leaves a big question mark over his professionalism.
    I'm sure the Leeds owners (past and present) have more skeletons hidden away than any other club!
    This won't end well.

    And why only acting CEO? Only temporary or a trial?
