Harty has done more for this club than those who spend much of their lives posting 10k+ posts on a football forum.
The insults towards him on this thread are disgusting.
Obviously from those not around in the early 90's.
Agreed
Barber would 100% seek to reign in the club's "unofficial forum" that holds thousands of members, including thousands of season ticket holders. This forum is "the media" for shaping fans opinions, a prize asset for the club's marketing needs.
No he wouldn't and it is not the only media, not by a long shot. What they might do is pass on the sort of information that allows the site's writers to leak stories ahead of any journalists they have the hump with. In my humble opinion.
Giraffe has admitted there are many emails between the club and this forum.
I'd be worried if there weren't.
Whenever there's information about inner workings or events inside the club that doesn't paint the club in a positive light, the board goes down, posts are removed, and/or people are banned.
Not true.
Whenever posts generally go against the board's decisions or strategy, a moderator or two seem to steam into the post and protect the clubs image.
Something I have noticed but a) I'm looking for it as I have written some blog posts criticising the recruitment policy and marketing spin and b) it might just be their opinion anyway.
On this very thread, Bozza should clearly state all his meetings where Barber has been present, why they occured, and what was said.
God no, please.
