Most of the club news during the season is total crap based of about three lines of boring nothing dialog from a player/manager...which is fluffed out into a non story anyway.
I'll be honest this time of the season I'd have liked to have seen more news on signings but as we haven't really made any....
Although....a simple we have had no bid for Cooper would have been good. Still convinced it was tans style bullshit Internet lie that spawned into a story that ran because we didn't deny it...not quotes at all....

There must be something to moan about if DV is making an appearance.

FWIW - very little I suspect - I think this is a complex issue. I don't disagree with anyone who says that this is a bit of a PR mess, coming on top of the freezing out of the Adver, with no proper explanation. However, the uncontrollability of 'news' (gossip, rumour, plain lies) in these days of endless and growing mass media, in which anyone can say anything - and be believed - without much fear of retribution, makes the whole press management issue a very big one for a football club, which is both a business, in which confidentiality and sensitivity in dealings, whether over sponsorship or buying and selling players or anything else, is really important, and also a 'community asset' which both prompts and relies on the fervour of its customers.
For example, I have no idea who let out the news that we had bid for the Shrewsbury CB. I have no idea whether it was a realistic bid or not. I have no idea whether, had it remained confidential, there might have been a chance to go back with a new bid. But any potential deal was scuppered, or at least complicated by forcing the Shrewsbury CEO to come out and make a stupid statement, which creates bad feeling between clubs and potentially does great damage to our preparations for the new season. The same can be said for whoever started the rumour that MC was being chased by Sheffield Wednesday. We all then get on the back of the club(s), and more ill-feeling is born....
This heavy-handed management of the media is a culture change affecting everyone in the modern era...the mysterious thing is it doesn't seem to improve anything much.

Minor eg: my old man, a season ticket holder, gets his Town news from the print version of the Adver. He's not seen any info about ticket prices, kick-off times, pay on the day etc for the home pre-season games. Obviously not a meltdown situation, but irritating.

The amount of stories on the Official Site has rocketed today, quite a few with players and one with Cooper (and the one announcing the signing).
Maybe they are listening. This is what people wanted right? The boring pre season jargon?

Nothing about fanzai - good.
About players and very much 'as you were' regarding objectives.
Sign a few more and roll on Bradford!
And it appears TEF have disclosed the statement first!
