“Calling all Bulls fans….I am a freelance journalist who
is in the process of compiling a dossier on none other than your friend
and mine, Mark Ellis.
Mr. Ellis has been known to me for many years and, like
you, I have an utter disdain for the man. Not only that but I hate to
see injustices go unpunished.
Aside from the chaotic mess that he and Mr. Agombar made
at your club, Mr. Ellis professes to have worked for a number of
professional clubs in quite lofty capacity. It won’t surprise you to
note that he did not do so, and I am currently co-operating with the
clubs concerned.
Mr. Ellis was nothing more than an academy coach of 9-10
year olds and an expenses only scout. His line that “if you speak to
people in football circles, they’ll only have good things to say about
me” is frankly laughable. His CV - working for Real Madrid etc. is also a
complete lie. Mr. Ellis paid each time to visit the clubs and watch
their training sessions, to then take that knowledge back to his academy
job. You or I could approach the same clubs and be afforded the same
courtesy.
I can state categorically that he has not worked for
Arsenal Football Club since 2002. He is nothing but a bully who relies
on his considerable size and imposing nature to intimidate.
Further, he runs a football agency in Hornchurch, Essex
but notably only ever appears to recruit from Nigeria and the like. Why
do you think that is?!
My intention is to expose him via the national press and to have his agents licence taken away.
I must remain anonymous at this stage but any replies will
be forwarded on to me via this page. If you would care to impart any
stories about Ellis, if you’ve come into contact with him, what was his
general demeanour, did you ever get straight answers to your questions
etc., I would be very appreciative.
I trust that you will all understand the reasons why I
must retain my anonymity at this stage. Your replies will be treated in
the strictest confidence."
