Fax to Doug Ellis

We want to be none biased and yesterday we asked you for your reasons to keep David O'Blarney and today we are going to fax them to Doug Ellis - you never know we might even have been convinced to keep him! Of the 64 emails we had yesterday only 3 of them gave a reason for David O'Leary to stay and one of them can not really be considered a valid reason.

Tim from Cardigan, West Wales says we should keep David O'Leary because 'I've got a bet on that before he goes he'll bring in Brian Kidd to take the blame.' and Rory from Birmingham says Doug should keep David O'Leary because 'he's never had a fully fit team so how can he be judged?'.

The last one we had was from a Birmingham City fac. There is no reason why he can not have an opinion on why Doug Ellis should keep David O'Leary but we're not going to publish it.

As promised we're going to fax these to Doug Ellis of Villa Park today. We're going to tell him that over 1,000 people read the plea to send in reasons to keep David O'Leary and we're going to detail the number that wanted him gone and then list the three emails that we got to keep him.

Before we go though, Rory, you should read this and Tim, we hope you win your bet!
