The Sky Blues Trust have acted disgracefully by insulting life long City fans like Mr Ray Stephens and Mrs Pat Raybould and others whose "crime" is to give there time voluntarily to be on the Supporters Consultative Group, do what is best for Coventry City Football Club and have the courage to disagree with the Trust people. The Trust like to insult other people and ask long lists of questions but they refuse to answer questions about there own behaviour insulting City fans, being abusive and supporting ACL.
So here is a very simple question for Mr Mokrzycki. Mr Labovitch sent you an email. Is what he says true or are you now accussing HIM of lying.
Dear Jan
After your antics yesterday and now the email from Jonathan Strange, I'm really not sure what you're trying to achieve. Let me re-state my position:
I am more than happy to maintain a dialogue with you personally, but will not be drawn into any games with the media. It was very shabby conduct to write to me yesterday morning bcc'ing Simon Gilbert of the Telegraph without my knowledge and I am glad you had the good grace to apologise.
I am also more than happy to receive input from the SBT in respect of the format of our upcoming fans' forum and indeed the club's engagement with fans generally. However, it would be inappropriate to do so whilst the SBT remains a highly partisan body whose leading members are more interested in heaping abuse - at times using obscene language - on the club's owner, rather than working constructively with all parties to achieve a solution.
We appear to agree that you and Steve Brown need to "clean house" and get rid of the extremist elements who show no interest in working to achieve a solution. You mentioned that you had assured Tim some time ago that John Fletcher and Michael Orton would be ejected from the SBT, but the Trust's constitution did not allow for instant expulsion.
I noted your comments that you are currently "edging John towards the door" and had managed at least to "shut him up" in the meantime; and that in your view Michael Orton "had caused more damage than everyone else put together" and appeared to be under particular psychological strain. You also agreed that you would like to disassociate the Trust from the activities of Bob Ainsworth, whose defamatory outbursts have been unhelpful and whom you in any case regard as "irrelevant".
I reiterated my concern that, whilst you profess to be concerned about financial stability, you had supported an attempt to replace the club's owners with Preston Haskell IV (who has never proved funds in his tilts at various English football clubs), with Joe Elliott as Chairman (whose record on the club's board is less than distinguished in management terms): I noted your observation that you "don't want Joe Elliott anywhere near Coventry City".
So our conversation showed clear signs that you are committed to putting the SBT's house in order. Once you have done so, I would be happy to discuss how the Trust might play a more meaningful role with the club and I'm sure Jonathan might agree to look again at how it engages with the SCG.
Best regards
Mark
