BBC Radio Leeds had a programme dedicated to LUFC. The following is Roberto’s Letter to BBC Radio Leeds.

As a Football Supporter since 1973 at the age of 11, I have read with interest what has happened with LUFC. It is a reminder of what happened at Scarborough FC.

It is crime what has happened to Scarborough FC and what is happening now at Leeds United Football Club. What is the reason for these clubs to just go out of business.

Is it the lack of attendance? Is it the lack of interest in the borough or city that is the home of the club? Has English Football suffered the fate of US Sports Clubs in which loyalty to area means nothing and loyalty to money means everything?

When did a Football Team in England start becoming a survival of the fittest with those like Manchester United and Arsenal selling themselves to US Businessmen whose interest is to milk the club of everything?

What about Manchester City and its sale to a corrupt ex Prime Minister?
Are we who are EPL Supporters going to allow themselves and allow another football club to die because of lack of support from the public and the city in which they are based?

Roberto may live in the USA but he has seen how Miami Fusion folded. At least, there is the Miami FC. Roberto has read what is happening to LUFC and his ANGER AND FRUSTRATION HAS BOILED OVER TO THE POINT OF THE QUOTATION FROM POPEYE: "THAT'S ALL I CAN STANDS I CAN'T STANDS NO MORE".

THE TIME HAS COME FOR FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS TO DEFEND THEIR CLUBS INSTEAD OF STANDING PASSIVELY AND DOING NOTHING. IT IS A LONG STRUGGLE BUT IT CAN BE DONE. TO DO NOTHING IS TO RISK LOSING ALL THAT HAS BEEN GAINED IN A FOOTBALL TRADITION.

THE EPL SUPPORTERS IN AMERICA CAN DO NOTHING EXCEPT ASK FOR A MIRACLE FROM GOD OR GIVE MONEY [THOSE THAT CAN DO IT]. THE SAME APPLIES TO EPL SUPPORTERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

EPL SUPPORTERS IN ENGLAND TAKE THE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS THROUGH LEGAL RECOURSE. ENGLAND IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY MEANS THE RIGHT FOR FOOTBALLERS TO INFORM THEMSELVES ABOUT THE FINANCIAL SITUATIONS OF CLUBS, POTENTIAL OWNERS, AND WAYS TO DEFEND AND SAVE YOUR CLUBS. USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMAGINE IF ONE DAY BUSH WERE TO ABOLISH THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC AND PROCLAIM A MONARCHY BASED ON BUSH? THIS PLAY WHICH CAN BE ADAPTED TO RADIO AND THEATER IS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD

SCENE ONE

MUSIC OF THE MONTY PYTHON THEME SONG

NEWS REPORTER: This is Stony Vomit from NBC News with the latest news. George W. Bush has proclaimed the abolition of the USA and has proclaimed himself King of America. This is my interview with George W. Bush

BUSH: Stop the Music

AUTOMATIC STOPPING OF MUSIC

SONG OF MUNGO JERRY : “IN THE SUMMER TIME”

BUSH: Stony Vomit, I am now King of America as Dubya I. Anyone who opposes me will have to deal with my heir and brother Jeb Dubya.

STONY VOMIT: America will never allow it.

DUBYA I: Sorry my friend, the people voted for it. After 9-11, the people have supported me and now I am the King of America.

STONY VOMIT: Are you imitating the British Monarchy?

DUBYA I: What’s that?

STONY VOMIT: Great Britain has a monarchy.

DUBYA I: They do?

STONY VOMIT: Yes

DUBYA I: Well I got to go to England to get recognized.

SCENE TWO

MUSIC FROM MUNGO JERRY: “In The Summer Time”

STONY VOMIT: Right now, we are flying to the new capital of H.M. Dubya I.

DUBYA I: Don’t call me H.M. CALL ME DUBYA. [SOUND OF A FLATULENCE]

DUBYA I: Our New Capital is going to be Crawford Texas. Crawford Texas is great for an American Royal Family. Stony Vomit, this is Jeb Dubya, Barbara Dubya, George HM Dubya, This is my new wife and Queen Condi Dubya.

STONY VOMIT: What happened to Laura?

DUBYA I: Laura. She did not like my boozing and my becoming King.

STONY VOMIT: Will you withdraw troops from Iraq?

DUBYA I: I am going to start leaving Iraq so I can concentrate on my new kingdom. I am also basing my kingdom on a new energy source called Methane. SOUND OF BELCHING AND FLATULENCE.

STONY VOMIT: Does Dubya Use Mouthwash?

DUBYA I: Dickie?

STONY VOMIT: That’s Dick Cheney.

DUBYA I: He’s now my Butler. Dickie, show this reporter the door. I am also pardoning Paris [Hilton] so that she could design Dubya Clothes and Perfumes especially Crawford Fish

STONY VOMIT: OK I get your drift.

DUBYA I: Stony, Remember I am a King.

STONY VOMIT: [Whisper]: The Monarchy in Great Britain is superior to this monarchy. When a Republican proclaims himself a King, chaos reigns.

DUBYA I: What you say?

STONY VOMIT: Nothing.

DUBYA I: That’s better. Now Dance to The Music. WHHOOOEEEEEE. AW SHUCKS!!!!!!

STONY VOMIT: WHAT?

DUBYA I: START DANCING!!! AW SHUCKS

STONY VOMIT: This is going to far.

DUBYA I: I have something for you.

STONY VOMIT: What?

DUBYA I WITH THE SOUND OF A VOMIT, FLATULENCE, LAUGHING, AND SPITTING OF TOBACCO

DUBYA I: That seems great. All of the tobacco chewing, beer drinking, with some methane coming out of the holes. All of this in my place of Crawford in the heart of Texas and the Whole of Texas.

STONY VOMIT: PLEASE!!!

DUBYA I: I have a new decree, the flag of Texas will be the flag of the American Kingdom. Why have fifty stars when we can deal with one?

STONY VOMIT: WHAT?

DUBYA I : The New National Anthem Will be Mungo Jerry’s “In The Summer Time” with sounds of Burps, Farts, and My Royal AW SHUCKS accompanying the song. This is great.

STONY VOMIT: WHAT A……

DUBYA I: Stony, I am firing you as NBC Reporter because my kingdom have removed NBC from the air and replaced it with something educational called the DBC

STONY VOMIT: DBC?

DUBYA I: Yeah, The Dubya Broadcasting Corportion where people will learn to honour King Dubya I and bow down to him. You can work as Stony the Clown with Bozo the Clown.

STONY VOMIT: I will not be a clown

DUBYA I: Sorry, just rewrote your contract so start clowning.

STONY VOMIT: I am now a clown instead of a reporter. So much for our America. Instead of becoming a Monarchy like England, we have become a cheap imitation of a monarchy based in Texas.

DUBYA I: STONY!!!!

STONY VOMIT: YES?

DUBYA I: America will now be called The Kingdom of Texas now get back to your clowning.

STONY VOMIT: From the Kingdom of Texas, Stony Vomit reporting.

DUBYA I: Stony, here’s a pie in the face with some water…………
