Dear supporters, managers and owners,

In our entire reign in the new Neame ECL with Ashton Vale FC, never have we come across any club or person who abused their relationship with us by breaking a gentleman's agreement. We were therefore caught by surprise when Telford Town decided to break the agreement they had in place with us.

For context, we agreed with Telford Town that we would drop the price from £270,000 to £250,000 for Sebglad if they sold us Helziy for £220,000. All had gone well and the Sebglad transfer went through to Telford and we were just waiting on Helziy's approval of the contract, who at this time had an electricity cut off and was unable to access Discord. Whilst the offer was waiting for his approval, Kooliaps (prior Ashton Vale legend and now Telford Town owner), went out of his own way to reject the contract dishonouring the agreement.

Ashton Vale plead to all team managers and owners that they avoid purchasing any Telford Town players from now on as they are now projected to be £75,000 in debt and deserve to be punished; we believe in a fair and equal way of completing transfers just like all morally correct teams should. We also urge manager of Telford Ahmed who was ready to follow the agreement through, to resign regarding Kooliap's lack of trust in Telford staff which is now clear to us all.
