In October 2010, as part of a fans' campaign against the ownership, Jefferies conceived and Directed a short film entitled 'Dear Mr Hicks' which was released virally via 'YouTube'. It featured celebrity fans of the club giving their reasons why they wanted to see a change of ownership. The Independent newspaper praised the video saying: "True to the city's capacity to create something out of adversity, a wonderfully inventive viral film, Dear Mr Hicks, has been published online to make it clear where he ought to go. The fans' view can be summarised thus: away, and soon". It was claimed that the video was watched 400 000 times in 42 hour and 1 million times in the first ten days.
