Jerseybean Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 When NP was sacked this was said, regarding communication, by the Club: ‘It is up to us to explain better what we are doing’ ‘Up to us to explain what we are doing and communicate better so they (the fans) understand our decisions better and can feel connected’ ‘I freely admit our communication hasn’t been as good as it should have been and that’s not just now.’ (J Lansdown.) G Marshall also acknowledged there had been reflection on communication (or perhaps more accurately the lack of it) and that this needs to improve. Genuine question, has anything changed in this important area? In my opinion nothing at all. Be interested to see what others think and to hear any thoughts on what the Club should be doing to communicate more often and effectively with the fan base.

Leabrook Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 They’ve done two fans forums since then and Tinnion has been on radio Bristol. Not too bad in a relatively short space of time. What sort of stuff do you want from them? I can’t think what else they could be doing really 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I actually don't have an issue with the Comms since Pearson left (and since Barton moved over to BS). I think there's been an improvement. Maybe not huge, but it didn't need huge imo. They need to keep it up though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Live coverage of academy games would be great for old gits like me who have the time to watch in the day and take an interest in the stars of the future. I remember seeing Tom Richie scoring a hat-trick at the old Weston-super-Mare ground. He was a very thin kid in those days, and I am sure that we have some exciting talent coming through and it would be great if we had a chance to see them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 No it hasn't. And that's because these cowards are afraid of taking accountability. 10 points off the play offs in February season already over when we was supposed to be challenging. At the very least BT and JL need to get themselves onto sound of the city and explain themselves and take unvetted questions. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I would LOVE SL/JL to try to explain why we've ended up missing the top 6 by a fair old margin (as things stand) once again. They made their bed with their comments, I'm very excited to see them lie in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think under GT it was quite common to get people from the club on there. I think that was probably due to him constantly asking them to come on air and if they didn't he'd say on air that they refused. It wasn't ever week granted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Well they’ve put an 11 minute interview with Liam up today - it doesn’t really say anything but it’s unusual for them to do so particularly as there will be the presser tomorrow. Lots of questions about the schedule - it feels a bit defensive PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested what more you would like to see @Jerseybean? I’ve been critical on the SC&T but your efforts and communication, via the forum, has been a lot better recently. However, this is about the club. A lot of the responses they gave you last time were poor or just fobbing off. I appreciate some were written so it was difficult for you to press. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of questions about the schedule - it feels a bit defensive PR. Uh oh, he talked about box entries at 3:20! One of my all time favourite Johnson-isms... He comes across well and relaxed in this interview - much more so than pre/post match. He's talking about coaching which is what he's most passionate about. Can see why the players will enjoy the sessions as some have said, and feel like they're learning. Obviously not translating enough onto the pitch yet - time will tell, but I wonder whether more coaching is really the answer. Could it not be more of the other side of being a manager that is required here - the man-management/motivation/attitude side of things, and also the communication skill to get those ideas across simply and clearly in the heat of the moment. The Klopps/Peps of the world have both sides of this which is what's needed. If you can't be brilliant at both - I guess it's going to depend on the rest of your coaching team and the personality of your squad. Increasingly common nowadays to prioritise the modern "progressive" coach who may be tactically brilliant (or at least knows a lot of the big words...) as opposed to the "old school" man-manager. Every manager wants a bit of both, but which are the managers that win things? David Moyes might have an answer! From our experience over the last few years, which one wins?

Superjack Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 They only 'communicate' when they try to instill a positive 'spin' on their frankly ridiculous actions. They don't like the supporters questioning them any more than a manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
