What do you propose they do?

Don't invite them round for tea and refreshments and a nice view of our games for a start.

Whether their current policy is working is certainly up for debate, but the notion that “they’re doing nothing” is a bit unfair. There’s an awful lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that we’re not aware of.

Easy for people to say just ban all those having a pop at the club, but that’s not the way it works, whether we like it or not.

If you are referring to what I said, I never said ban everyone having a pop at the club, I never even inferred that. What I said was that the people responsible for media relations should be taking proper action to protect the good name and commercial interests of our club. Great to know that there’s an awful lot going on “behind the scenes” that we don’t know about, cos what I do know is that there is fuck all visibly going on in front of the scenes, not that I can see anyway. Pardon me for thinking that a couple of senior execs at the club could be seen to be doing a bit more to earn their large salaries

Absolutely

A group of sports journalists gaslighting one set of fans is not a good look. Dick pic Glendenning will have his weekly snide dig on Talkshite in the morning.

By all means call out those responsible, but ranting at the wrong person just makes you look a bit foolish.

P.S. I think you’re confusing your Harrises (or is that Harris’? Or Harris’s?). Easily done anyway, tbf, as they’re as bad as each other.

I believe the correct term is "shitrats".

I think believing that the club are doing a good job at protecting our club’s reputation, all of it behind the scenes as you put it, is a far more foolish look. I would also say that I wasn’t ranting, I can rant, but wasn’t on this issue. I will spend a bit more time researching exactly what Kloss and Heggie’s roles are when I get chance, but the way I see it, day in and day out certain newspapers and other media people are making false and damaging claims about our club, and publicly we do little or nothing about it. I see that as neither a rant nor foolish. Perhaps you could provide some named examples of the good work done and actions taken, that the rest of us can’t see, behind the scenes?

Do you really think they just do absolutely fuck all about it?

I asked Garry Cook why do we put up with all the shite thrown at us and don’t appear to be fighting back, his answer was not to take them on. They have the pedestal to continue criticism whereas the club don’t and eventually they will use the card that we are trying to take away the rights of the free press.
He said Nike rode it out with Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods and didn’t challenge the press when they were writing all sort of rubbish about them (and it seems that they were eventually proved right) and just backed the 2 individuals.
can’t say I agree with him, but that’s what he said

I don't think our softly softly approach is working and the way we're reported upon has not IMHO changed since CAS.

Think the Pisscan bullied these shysters so that they were terrified of him and went full brown nose on him. I think PL rules on media may have changed and that its mandatory for managers to attend press conferences.

There is an issue with the perception of our PR department having all the backbone of a slug though. Immediately after clinching an unprecedented treble Pep was asked if he took backhanders. You would reasonably expect punitive action to be taken on the disrespectful motherfucker but our way seems to be to leave the best coach around to deal with these jackals in a foreign language.

The narrative might change swifter if we came down like a ton of bricks on these turds; equally any such action would play into their preprepared lines.

But I'd feel happier if we had some legal rottweilers in the wings ready to pounce on these nonces' dangly bits.

Very well said Aba452

There was an article I saw in this forum by someone called Ste Tudor, I am not sure who he is but it was factual, eloquent and a million times more powerful than anything I ever head from our media relations, communications or legal departments, well done Ste
