Maybe John Delaney will take a leaf out of the Adams/Paisley book and start to work with those that hate him?

Any word on it?

Deadline is the 31st, which is Saturday, so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a decision until Monday as it is next working day.

Press release on the Shels site.

Well, let me say that the members of the Board not only have the required sexual organs, but with what we have had to deal with over the last three months, have had to have them coated with steel.

It's very real...

You lot just enjoy your time 'shelsfree' up there

Maybe try share the competitions between you for a couple of years as we'll be back soon enough!

All joking apart, it's a bit blue to have in a "To All Supporters" press release on your official website.

Have they all turned to drink?

**green-blood** · 06/04/2007, 1:43 PM

shockingly bad PR, very badly advised

**Joey Killester** · 06/04/2007, 1:54 PM

Whats so wrong with it??

It's like something you'd read on a fans' site; it's not really what you're expecting when you're on the official site looking for an update from the board on the club's financial tribulations.

Plus, "won't somebody please think of the children?", etc., etc.

It's not earth-shatteringly crude, it's just a bit odd.

What a load of b o l l o c k s !

Sorry

**Gareth** · 07/04/2007, 10:00 AM

The good news is it doesn't really matter what you guys think of it as it was for the fans, and they seem quite happy with it.

**Dodge** · 07/04/2007, 10:05 AM

Well it may matter what sponsors think of it Gareth. If I was a company looking to get involved in a club, that bit would put me off

But as long as Shels fans are OK with it

**Gareth** · 07/04/2007, 10:24 AM

Dodge, I think it being Shels would have put you and your company off a long time before any statements or BOM announcement to fans

. And of course you being a Pats fan too.

**Dodge** · 07/04/2007, 12:32 PM

Well there is that yeah, but I hope you got my point...

If it were me,it'd have the opposite effect. Although a serious matter,it gets the point across without being so boringly serious you stop reading half way through.

Halfway through should be the minimum you're expecting your business public to go without testicle imagery, though, in fairness.
