left winger 13,975 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 So, no press conference etc with  journalists? Believe that when I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe that when I see it. I think it's more along the lines of giving papers breaking news stories and interviews. Pressers will still happen ofcourse, though possibly a bit more selective in who is allowed in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 When it comes to transfers and new initiatives then this is the way to go. As i said before, it’ll be interesting to see if these platforms hold the manager, board and their PR pal to account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it will, just be used as a news outlet for the club rather than the papers. Sure David knows if he starts becoming a club stooge the fans won't listen and pay up to his Patreon stuff.

From the increased social media replies from the official club I think they are listening more than ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The days of people treating us like shit then expecting to be treated like kings are over.  I don’t want to sound cynical but how many times have we heard this, or something to similar effect, now?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  I'm hoping but this is us having nothing further to do with papers like the sun and the record. A very clear bias in their reporting.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s something the spfl have us doing then even more reason to cut ties seeing as they pay the majority of journalists we deal with (lawwell, hollicom etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be nothing stopping us putting pre match interviews out via in house social media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I’ve got no time the vast majority of the sports press in this country (a few notable exceptions) but I’m really not sure this is a good approach, outwith signings, fan initiatives etc. We’ve already seen a few, lets say, strange posts that have turned out to be horseshit. Particularly around the Ashley legal action that is not a great look at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I don't think we had any other option in this toxic environment. Bridge building with the rhags was never going to happen when we hired Traynor. Don't think we ever have built them with that lot. They think they make enough money from the tarriers by slating us day after day. Print will cease to exist very soon and hopefully the whole clickbait shit won't be far behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
