Ludo*1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 SPFL tend to release their info to journalists first then update their website about 6 hours later. Truly bizarre why they've operated like that since this whole shambles started - Ensures that misinformation spreads like wildfire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 2 minutes ago, Ross. said: The SPFL in that specific made up scenario. They made accusations against the legal advisor and a guy from a legal background. It’s not exactly a huge jump to imagine they had a team of friends/colleagues to read a few pages each and give a quick overview. Getting a statement like that out so quickly is exactly what you would expect if there is nothing to it. Still doesn't really explain why you would use the word "we", does it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, Aim Here said: You're talking about public relations in Scottish football, an industry that hired Jim 'concomitant' Traynor for years in multiple capacities, and where the whole world was exposed to Ann Budge's unfiltered, unedited, rambling, geriatric prose style. .The SPFL statement is pretty much gold standard by comparison. Aye, I just said in another post that I've been giving them too much credit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I feel it reflects badly on them and their product(s). I agree. I always think twice about a business when they're written material is poor. Granted, I've worked in language-related jobs for most of my adult life so I'm biased, but I agree with you that it just comes across as unprofessional and makes me doubt them. A lot of the statements from SPFL clubs in recent weeks have just made me assume they were written by idiots. Sometimes I find myself distracted from the message by the poor language. Surely a prerequisite for a job in PR is a good grasp of written and spoken communication? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's not an official statement, it's a quote from someone regurgitated by a journalist. Don't see the issue here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So now the question is, how big a points deduction should Rangers be slapped with at the start of next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 14 minutes ago, TheScarf said: So if it turns out that Rangers are at it, which they probably are. Can the SPFL take action against them? I’m thinking a points deduction? A monetary penalty won’t affect them really. A monetary penalty would punish the company not the club douh !!!

Ludo*1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Tom English still hoping for the possibility that he hasn't been made to look a complete fool throughout this. Must be quadrupling down at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
