I used to like tits.Rudkin & Whelan ok?
From Leeds’ Chairman:
It’s startlingly similar to what we released. Almost as though Leeds took inspiration from Top’s statement.So much better than the guff we were served up.
You think so?!It’s startlingly similar to what we released. Almost as though Leeds took inspiration from Top’s statement.
Absolutely.You think so?!
You're just about the only one here who has this right.Oh boo hoo poor innocent billionaire baby Aiyawatt.
I've ****ed everything and some people are being mean to me.
Weak as piss. You're supposed to be the boss. **** me, what a loser.
Where is Top’s acknowledgement of mistakes?Bingo. What does he win.
- Investment they have made - tick
- acknowledgment of mistakes - tick
- reflection and learning from mistakes - tick
- reference to journey we have been on together - tick
- affirmation of commitment to continue - tick
- We will fight back from this together - tick
Read them both. Leeds one is a neat little summary of ours.
It is though.I don’t know that centering his experience with the fans in this notes is particularly a clever Pr strategy.
If you don't, then it doesn't exist in this world.That's if you "decode" it through a PR translator. And If you don't?
And yet, there it is....If you don't, then it doesn't exist in this world.
Acknowledgement of mistake:-Where is Top’s acknowledgement of mistakes?
And the Leeds one actually has an apology and no crying about some abuse.
But yes other than that, the same…apparently.
The reason I'm cynical about it is because it starts out as you describe. My early assignments were pretty much just tailoring statements so that communications were sensible & devoid of inconsistencies. Making sure that people & organisations sent out information that was intelligible & made them look as professional as possible. Bland stuff.And yet, there it is....
For someone that's worked in PR, you seem to have a somewhat cynical view of it. It's not necessarily 'smoke and mirrors'. Isn't about effective communication? Identifying what you want to say and saying it. PR needn't always been a metaphor for hoodwinking or bullshit. Even the word 'spin' has now a negative connotation, when the truth is we all present things in a certain manner; have a take on things if you like.
Just as everyone on here will have their take on Top's message (as @Willlow, I think it was, said). If there's a desire or will to parse a message looking for traps, gotchas or general deception then they will be found.
Me, I took it at face value, as I read it. A message from Top (and doubtless a message passed by a PR team) I simply read what he had decided to say. As I said, if it makes me gullible than so be it but I don't feel bought by it. As @mickey says above, forget the words, the important thing is what happens from here on.
we aren’t Karen United.
