True, but unfortunately these same people represent the club, so whatever they do reflects on the club itself in one way or another. Someone needs to give them a crash course in Public Relations 101.
Indeed.
A manager wearing a Suarez t-shirt to an interview is a PR disaster. Not playing players' and staffs' wages is a PR disaster. Having an actual transfer policy to not buying black players is a PR disaster, and probably more. Those things have actual impacts on how a football club is perceived and regarded in the long term.
Bunch of unsubstantiated news/rumors/tweets flying around the internet is not an PR issue. Nobody gives a feck, except for any fans love to read too much into this kind of shit and come out with conclusions for themselves.
Thiago fiasco? What fiasco? We never let out a beep about the player, all tabloids bullshit. We might or might not be in serious discussion with him, but at the end of the day, he chose to join his old coach and European champions instead of us. What's the shame in that? That we didn't throw enough money at him? That we didn't beg him hard enough to have his pity?
Handling the Rooney saga? What the feck did we do wrong? That we didn't beg him to shut his mouth and bend over backwards in every way he demands us to? Or we didn't just feck him off to Chelsea for two quids just to get rid of the problem?
The flight? Did we post it on our official website announcing the flight? It was reported by a media FFS, and even if it's true that Woodward is flying back for transfers, how the actual feck does it constitute us being clueless in any way?
Man, some people just want to watch the world burn.

Please so being reasonable and sane!
More of an afternoon person i take it?
He's obviously had a bad day and is in desperate need of a cuddle.

Wouldnt fancy cuddling the Incredible Hunk - would you?
"Careful... careful.. dont make him angry... dont make him feckin angry.... for feck sake - look what you did - there goes the feckin neighbourhood..."
Funny you said that, I actually had a great day at work and enjoyed the afterhour drinks with my coworkers (it's past midnight in the states now). But yeah, who doesn't want a sweet cuddle, right?He's obviously had a bad day and is in desperate need of a cuddle.
I like your post, it's give us (me) perspective.
But for all your good points I don't think anybody label Moyes and Woodward as a failure or want them out. Your approach against criticisms looks passionate and lovely but at the top there is no room for sentimentalism or going for second best. You're judged buy results and results only. But anyway I think this summer will end up successful even if there have been some minor errors in our media communication. Fabregas will save the day ;-)
Moyes just confirmed Woodward is dealing with the Fabregas deal and he hopes to know more in the coming days.
In the press conference Moyes just confirmed that Woody was dealing with the Fabregas business.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Woody confirmed that Fabregas was dealing with the Moyes-situation
What was the actual quote from Moyes? Did he confirm Woodward came back to the UK earlier to specifically deal with the Fabregas transfer?
Or, in your case, on press conferences.
He was asked if he had any official response from Barcelona regarding the bid, and he basically said he wasn't sure because the chief executive was dealing with it, but hopes to have some information in the next few days.
Paraphrasing, but:
The question was, "Have you had any official response from Barcelona regarding Cesc Fabregas?"
To which Moyes responded something like, "The chief exec has flown back and is dealing with that, I think it's the middle of the night back home now so I hope to know more in the next day or so."
Thanks for that, mate. Sounds promising as it seems to me Barca and the player are willing to do a deal
Yep, fingers crossed
He's obviously had a bad day and is in desperate need of a cuddle.
Well said totally agree!
Good post.
The caf has gotten a bit hilarious over the last few weeks with the way it has treated every bit of news. Had it been fergie in charge we definitely wouldn't be drawing such absurd and strong conclusions based on so little. Every little shitty bit of news seems to say something about our new management. Whether its the Rooney saga or the our transfer dealings or the way he handle ourselves, fans need to get a grip of themselves otherwise were falling into the trap that opposition fans would love for the club to in the post-ferguson era - which is of insecurity, lack stability and patience. I can't even imagine what people will be like if we play the kind of football in the beginning of this season as we did in the beginning of last season. I fear for moyes if that happens.
Ciders faux rant was better.
I won't be jealous either if we make good signings but Fernandinho would have improved our midfield, definitely. Probably Paulinho as well. Jovetic would have been a good option to replace Rooney.
If we have our own targets and the list doesn't include Fellaini, however, then I'm all good and happy.
Why do we need to replace Rooney?
Well, IF he leaves, we'll have to. If he stays, we won't, obviously.
People won't like you having common sense!
Yeah, we can't have common sense in here. It messes with the muppets and causes adverse reactions.
i've heard he returned yesterday at 11:30pm bst and as soon as he arrived he went straight to his office where he proceeded to pick up the telephone and dial mobile numbers completely at random to tell whoever answered the phone our top three transfer targets and what he really thinks about wayne rooney.
I'd like to think he made a few prank calls to Rooney, pretending to be Mourinho or Sam Allardyce.
definitely, though as he's gone so bad shit mental he used his own voice and accent in each of these calls, before phoning himself, pretending to be abramovich and offfering 10 million and mata for rooney, which he then flatly turned down before signing off "feck chelsea" all in the same voice.
Good one Cider, I agree. To much presses for my likening ;-)
no that was just hearsay and some old maps that may well have been forgeries. The truth is, nobody is any closer to knowing the whereabouts of the war-chest than we were 5 years ago.
It is all very like Raiders though.
The sad thing is, all this apparent impcompetence keeps kindling a small flame of hope in my heart that it's all a charade to build up to an increible Bale / Ronaldo type muppet-gasm late in the window. In my head I know it's Baines and Fellaini though.
Does he have a wife? He doesn't um.....seem the sort.
He looks like a forty year old virgin to be honest.
I'd have said more 'confirmed bachelor'
