Dear Fellow Cats, the Cats-In-Charge and Mr. Short,
I was dismayed to find out that Di Canio was sacked recently. And many
other fans share this sentiment. His style was not conservative
enough, but that was not the real problem. I believe the real problem
was a lack of preparedness; the very thing that fortune favors.
And so I wish to throw my hat into the consideration for a new
manager. My name is Charles Malek. Yes, I am unknown. A fan from the
shadows, but I know football. I know who is good because. I know who
needs to be given their walking papers. Football is my life.
I would not ask for a salary of my own, but rather the support from
you to assemble the right pieces to run the team. The players on
Sunderland right now are extremely talented. We have the best striker
of the Eredivisie last season. And Borini was on fire in the Serie A
only 2 years ago. The cats should be pummeling opponents. And they
will, if I have anything to say about it.
In fact, if, as manager, I do not lead Sunderland to cripple Newcastle
so badly that Sunderland stay afloat while Newcastle is relegated,
then I will turn in my slip. I will leave the toons with red on their
face. I am that confident that I can succeed.
Yours in love and war,
Charles
