Has anyone ever written to a City Manager recommending a player?

I did with O'Neill: I saw Kevin Davies make his debut for Chesterfield and wrote to him to tell him 'buy now. He never did obviously. I'm just about to write Ranieri about Moses Emanual at Bromley, the next Vardy to be sure.

 

Anyone else put pen to paper recommending talent?

I considered writing to O'Neil after watching get Jamie ward play for Torquay. Knew he would go on and play at a higher level.

Not to say he would have been class for us but a few months later he moved to Sheffield United for 300k and then derby for 1.5 million.

Who was that poster who'd write repeated letters to Susan Whelan saying we should sign Freddy Adu?  lol

 

Wasn't there that guy who claimed to be an agent, yet was writing letters to the club recommending Dan Petrescu and some blatant Football Manager finds? He seemed to be doing it without a shred of irony and got genuinely wound up whenever questioned. It was hilarious.

 

I don't think this is the one I was thinking of but it's a good one:

 

 

Here's a copy of a letter I sent to Susan Whelan in September this year:

Dear Susan
 
First of all I would like to say, welcome to Leicester City Football Club, I hope you have settled well into your new job. I am a big supporter of our Club and have supported them for sixteen years. I am writing to you regarding my opinions on the future of the First Team Management, I feel that it is better for supporters to bring their opinions and feelings to the Club's attention, rather than complaining to the media on phone ins, or moaning in forums. As you are most likely aware there has been speculation regarding the current First Team Manager's Sven Goran-Eriksson's position at the Club, there have been rumors in the press that his job is under threat, only you will know whether these rumors are correct or not.
 
The main purpose of why I am writing to you is to bring to your attention the person who I really think the Club should strongly consider bringing in to replace Sven Goran-Eriksson, should him and the Club part company in the near or distant future.
 
His name is Dan Petrescu and he is well known in this country from his highly successful playing career with Sheffield Wednesday, Chelsea, Bradford City, Southampton and The Romanian National Team. He is currently the First Team Manager of a Club called Kuban Krasnodar, who currently plays in the top tier of Russian Football; he joined the Club at the end of 2009, following their relegation to the Second Tier of Russian Football. In his first season at the Club (2010) he won them instant promotion back to the Top Tier, winning the Second Tier by a nine point margin, they are currently lying in 6th place in The Top Tier and looked destined to finish in their highest position ever and could even potentially qualify for Europe.
 
Before taking on the role at Kuban Krasnador, he was First Team Manager at a Club called Unirea Urziceni, who were based in his native Romania, the Club are no longer in existence after folding in July 2011. Dan joined the Club in 2006 following their promotion to Romania’s Top Tier, and they made excellent continuous progress under his reign, qualifying for The Uefa Cup in 2007/2008 for the first time ever, then the following season (2008/2009) they won the Top Romanian League again for the first time ever, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
 
The man is an absolute genius and if given the chance I believe he could bring wonders to our Club like he has in his current and previous job, I am of the opinion that if Sven-Goran Eriksson does leave us in the future there will be no better person to replace him than Dan Petrescu, he’s got highly successful playing and coaching experience, he’s fluent in English, knows the English game well, knows the European game well as well and he’s still relatively young for a Manager at 43 years old.
 
I hope you take my views and opinions into strong consideration and if/when a vacancy for the First Team Manager’s arises, that you and the Raksriaksorn’s strongly consider Dan for the role.

No that was Rolf Harris' Pet Rescue.

I wrote to Nigel Pearson and told him to sign Lee Cattermole, the cheapskate went for Esteban Cambiasso instead.

I think that's who I was thinking of, he was obsessed with Adu wasn't he?

If someone could write to CR and recommend he signs me on a salary of £30k a week there's a drink in it for you if he does.

Writing to the club, as a grown man, is just cringeworthy.

 

Let them, the professionals, do their job. Do you honestly think they'll listen and not all have a laugh and pin it on the noticeboard?

Rarely agree with anything you post but this time I do.

Absolutely cringe worthy.

I'd throw it in the bin just for constantly capitalising the word "club".
