It's got nothing to do with the Doncaster game. That's the point. It's got nothing to do with anything relevant to the football club, the team, Betsy, results, performances. It's just a load of nonsense that the owners think is important. Lots of new fans who will never come to games - as I said earlier: big woop. The owners need to be focussing on the team and our less that stellar performances, not all this irrelevant sideshow. A sideshow which is cringeworthy and many - not you clearly - find embarrassing.
As far as fan engagement goes, the Americans are doing really well. Not difficult to improve on the total non-communication of the last owners. Infrastructure-wise, things are improving slowly but surely. Much credit to the owners for that, it was desperately needed and is gratefully accepted. As for our L2 performances, they need improving urgently. Betsy needs to focus all his attention on achieving that, yet he has to deal with the latest lot of nonsense dumped upon the club.
I know for our owners this is one big experiment. But CTFC should not be their plaything.
You’ve gone from one post saying it’s a marketing initiative that might work to saying it’s a load of nonsense by the owners. Those are two different positions surely? I understand why existing fans can take and leave this kind of thing but just don’t understand the lack of proportion in the very heated criticism. It will have zero impact on Betsy’s focus. It’s like saying players shouldn’t turn up to schools to promote the club to youngsters because it somehow distracts them from training
It might work in gaining the club a shedload of new online followers. But it is a load of nonsense. Scouting z list celebrities and youtubers is bad enough. Telling the world you're doing it is plain embarrassing. Saying the aim is to sign some celebrities and youtubers with a view to putting them on the bench for the FA Cup game......true stupidity. That will affect KB and his preparations for the game. And if it does happen how will the players dropped from the matchday squad feel? Losing their place to someone because they have a big online fanbase? Nothing to do with football. Everything to do with brand building.
I can explain it to you all day. You just don't get it. Whether that's through naivety, stupidity or apathy I haven't worked out yet.
