Superjack Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Apologies to all if this is "old hat". I have had laptop failure for months, so have had a long time away from OTIB. Just before my laptop decided it didn't want to play anymore there was a thread from DollyMarie, who was putting together a 'Get Well Soon' card for Evander Sno following his heart attack, from OTIB City fans. As I recall she collated all the good wishes from this thread and wrote them on a card which she then sent off to Ajax. As my access to OTIB was then cut off, I was just wondering if DollyMarie (or anyone else) could tell me if there was ever any clarification that Evander had received these messages. Maybe not massively important in the scheme of things, but as someone who contributed I would be happy to know if he knew we were thinking of him. Thanks.

Dollymarie Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I didnt get a reply no, but as I sent it recorded (or the european equivalent) then I was able to track it, and I can assure you it made it safely to its destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thats a bit miserable on Sno's part. Thought that too....! I'm sure I read (must have been on here) that someone (Dolls I guess) had received a thank you, obviously not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thats a bit miserable on Sno's part. that is a bit miserable, a little note or something to acknowledge it would have been nice, although I am sure he has had other things on his mind. Edit - I just checked, and it looks like his contract is up at ajax this summer, I wonder what will become of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonboy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thats a bit miserable on Sno's part. Perhaps. Or perhaps he was just recovering from a massive heart attack and trying to get to grips with the fact that his professional career may had just ended?

Melksham Red Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Perhaps. Or perhaps he was just recovering from a massive heart attack and trying to get to grips with the fact that his professional career may had just ended? He also possibly recieved a shed load of cards/flower/get well notes and couldnt of possibly responded to everyone single one. Added to the fact sending Dame Dolly a response was hardly high on his list of priorities after having a heart attack at the age of 23! Why would anyone expect a response in the circumstances?

Dollymarie Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 To be honest, I wasnt really expecting one, the same as I never got anything in response after I handed over Ivan's card to the club when his baby died. Its like that old saying, its the thought that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 In the aftermath of the death of an infant or a near fatal heart attack, I think it's a bit much to expect a reply, especially from a public figure who likely had a shed load of mail from well wishers!

A Horse With No Name Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 In the aftermath of the death of an infant or a near fatal heart attack, I think it's a bit much to expect a reply, especially from a public figure who likely had a shed load of mail from well wishers! Maybe, but the guy has an agent who surely could have oversseen a few dozen thankyou notes. Most of his well wishers would probably have been local people, and fans of his club, so a general thankyou in the local press would have sufficed, but you would have thought oversees well wishers would have been acknowledged.Or do the agents only surface when there is a transfer in the pipeline??
