Now i have permission from the real editor/mods on the board - here goes!!

rejected · Post by **rejected** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 7:20 am

Firstly - thank you Tony for allowing this, it is much appreciated.

Secondly, thank you to all your fans for showing an initial interest in this.

Over the last 8 years I have written to EVERY football club in the country (all 92 league clubs and the national team) applying to be their first team manager using funny letters.

The book compiles all of my applications and the responses I got from the clubs. Well, those who responded and gave permission.

Burnley replied with a very clever letter and were good enough to let me publish it. 6 of the clubs who replied denied me permission!! Burnley FC have also tweeted support for the book recently.

Since it came out I've been in a few papers, on a few radio stations including the H and J show on talkSPORT.

It is available on Amazon as an eBook for just £2.99 - here is the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/REJECTED-Peter ... 156&sr=1-1

Thanks for allowing me to post and I hope you enjoy it if you have a read. Early reviews have been brilliant.

It is also available as a paperback. I am distributing it, for any of your fans in Yorkshire it is WHSmith in Meadowhall and Sheffield.

A few football clubs are selling it and it is also on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REJECTED-Foot ... Sw-0xYOwgR

Thank you everyone.

Good luck for the rest of the season too (After Tuesday night of course!!)

Hi rejected,

Your book sounds great fun. Was it you that went on Talksport trying to flog your book a few months back?

Thanks for wishing us well for March 18th, then.

I might even buy a copy now.

A lot of our fans would disagree but id rather win on Tuesday than the 18th March!!

I love the FA Cup!!

Tbh I'd swap you right now.

As long as you're sure you'd want to swap places with Newcastle next season.

Hi rejected,

Got my paper back copy of your book today.
Looks good and I am looking forward to reading it more thoroughly.

For any interested fellow Clarets, I simply logged on to Dag & Redbridge shop site:

http://www.daggers-shop.co.uk/index.cfm ... uct_ID/237" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They allowed me to open an account and posted me a copy- all for the princely sum of £5 (postage inc).

jjclaret · Post by **jjclaret** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:24 pm

It is worth reading FC, however I'm not sure it would be fair, or more importantly a breach of copyright, to put it on here?

Claretforever · Post by **Claretforever** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:30 pm

It's £5. Just buy the darn thing. If it was a full book about our club and one page was posted that's different, but that one page could be the entire interest of our fan base. Not really fair to post.

As someone else has pointed out - I wouldn't.

It is copyrighted - and not by me!!

The trouble I went through to get the letters allowed in my book is proof that it would be risky to put it on.

I'd get some GREAT publicity if I put some of the replies on twitter / Facebook etc but I wouldn't dare because that is not something I have in the agreement with the clubs!!

The eBook is only £2.99 - I'm sure it's worth it?!

So the original thread was pulled and binned but now he has been made aware of who the 'Powers that Be' really are and he's asked nicely, the thread can continue exactly like the first one!

Always a mystery when a thread disappears.

I'm pretty sure I also posted on this new thread earlier today, welcomed reject once more and gave him an idea for a second book.

But, looks like that has also been "binned."

Reject, welcome for the third time. Good luck with the book. Is copyright really breached by copying a page or two and attributing the source?

It could be yeah. Not from me. I still and never will own the copyright on that letter. I just got permission to publish the letters in a book. I wouldn't tweet pics etc!

Thought it was a good idea to bin the original thread tbh. Could easily end up with a board full of people trying to flog any old crap that is vaguely related to BFC.

Promoting a book must be a thankless task though, so all the best.

Hi rejected! I'm trying to buy your book for my kindle. However I'm based in Spain. Is it only available on Amazon.co.uk? I've tried buying it on the Spanish site and I have found it - just can't find an option to actually purchase! (Have to buy on the Spanish site as my kindle is registered in Spain).

I really wish I could help you but I don't know anything about Spanish Kindle!! It has been bought in Spain, but dont know why. If you download the kindle app to a device and do it that way it should work?

Failing that I can post paperbacks to Spain? It will be another country to tick of that list!!

Appreciate the reply. I'll try to buy it directly from the Kindle device rather than the website via my laptop. Otherwise I'll try the kindle app as you suggested. If not then a paperback will be fine

Hi rejected,

not seen the book, yet. If it's been bought in Spain are you also planning to apply next time Barca and Real Madrid need a new coach?

I've had to put it down, my wife can't get to sleep because I'm laughing so much.

I was okay until I got to Brighton then the tittering started but Queens Park Rangers has wiped me out. I literally had to go to the loo as tears were rolling and I was peeing myself

I am so looking forward to a couple of Clubs per night now

One small issue is for some reason it isn't compatible with Kindle Paperwhite so I'm reading on my phone. I' ll investigate further tomorrow.

Brilliant so far a well worth reading!
