Dear Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan,
Words can’t even describe what we as fans are going through here
I wish we all knew before, did you know, yourself? Why? Why did you do this? You owe us an explanation at the very least.
How did we end up here? Not one or two, but 6, yes SIX year we’ve been loyal, coming to Chepauk every home game, some of us even traveled for away games. The flash mobs we’ve done for this team from all parts of the world, the CSK dedicated videos, the Facebook status’, the tweets, backing the team even when we were out of the game most times. The fights with the opposing team fans. The amount of faith, joy, pride this team has instilled in us is just enormous.

Don’t you feel the same? Dint we do enough, as fans? Heck, we considered this team as Family!
Didn’t you feel anything at all when Dhoni hit 16 of that Irfan Pathan over to take us through to the play offs? When Vijay played that brilliant innings to take us to winning the champion’s league trophy? When Hussey (37 year old, retired from other formats) plays his heart out for the team ever game? When Raina, Badri and others dive to stop every single ball? When Albie hit 28 of that Virat over to take us home? When ashwin got Gayle’s wicket in that final at Chepauk? When you outbid mallya & co to get Ashwin in the auctions? Above all, the voice of 44000 fans screaming their hearts out every home game? You were there, standing, FIXED to one SPOT, in front of pavilion, don’t tell me you weren’t, we all know you were.
I’ve even seen you jumping in excitement when the team won few games, were you just happy that the money you invested just doubled?
If you really did this for money, I feel saddened. What don’t you have? I know for a fact that you’re very well off, stay in one of the richest areas in Chennai, and flaunt a Ferrari. I’m sure the MOST of the team would never have even THOUGHT about something like this. Take a look at players like Faf, happy just to be a part of this franchise even if they don’t get a game to play. They considered this as family, man. Even we do! Religiously sitting up for ever game, no matter where in the world we were, just for those 3 letters, CSK. The players give their lives for something you were involved in and this is what you give back to them?
You must have laughed at the “Fair play” award whenever we were awarded with it , no?
Did you not stop for even ONE SECOND to think about the players out there? The guys who play for that name in front of the jersey and not the one on the back of it?
I’m gutted, ASHAMED. I still don’t want to believe what is happening around me, or rather cant come to terms with the fact that it is happening , but i am being forced to. I will never stop believing in the TEAM that brought us the joy, just have lost faith in the management.
You’ve not put yourself alone down, but the 2 million others that follow the team, down. Such a SHAME.
6 years WE took to build that brand and bring it to where it is today, and you just throw it all away for some money? You could have gone and bet on horses or something instead, something Legal.
You stated in your twitter bio that you were team principal of CSK and correctly when going be questioned, you remove it. Lol. This is like when i was small and used to change answers (In front of teacher) in dictation test just to get more marks.
WHY, guru, WHY?!
We are never going to get back that name now, even if we dissolve and are bought off by someone else, that image of Csk+betting/fixing will always be brought into the picture.

Look at the video, you are saying it is going to get bigger, no one here knew you were talking about your wallet and not the tournament. Why that alone? Take every line you say in this, seems like everything is about the money.
This tournament is never going to be the same.
Yours TrulyCSK fan(s)
P.s – I’ll never stop believing in the TEAM and what they have achieved till date.
