    Absolutely not a wind up, they're driving the club to make a statement on everything or folk are out with there pitchforks for the owners. Pathetic.

    I don't do Twitter/Facebook generally, but have been reading some of the comments on both lately and some of the fans on them forms of social media are embarrassing, but I guess it's just the way the world is accepted these days.

    Nothing wrong with opinions, but the abuse, insults and aggression used is piss poor.

    Well this is down to them in my view. Their management of sensitive info is poor at best. Now there is a distinct lack of trust, which will not be repaired overnight. We have also signed a player yesterday and today, and if this had been managed properly everyone would be chatting about new players.

    Management of what Onside? It put out by a player on social media. The player put this on twitter I think the morning they heard, give up being daft. You're choosing to make a carry on about Colin leaving because it suits your agenda.

    Absolutely spot on how can the club anticipate what a player is going to say on Twitter. This is about people thrashing about looking for something to bash the owners with.

    Things being played out on Social media by a clearly emotional 3rd party doesn’t help.. be upset but also remember you’re dealing in confidentiality.. there wasn’t really any need for some of the things posted..

    The club should have got on the front don’t and announced it earlier and the Doyle’s probably should have kept their council a little better

    What agenda? They should have made a statement before Colin had a chance to release information. In fact before talking to Colin, they should have anticipated this on top of everything else, it needed to be managed properly. No they allow it to run nearly 24 hours on social media before an announcement. Good business management have plans on how to release information to cause minimum collateral damage.

    More reason not to read them, sorry lads if you know what these twitterer's are like don't log on.

    No your correct @Park bantam@Park bantam I don't do it on a regular basis I'll see the likes of James Mason and possibly other City players but if it annoyed me as you say it's doing to you guys stay on here, this forum can get tasty at times but the vast majority behave in a civilised manner, I wouldn't give them the time of day reading their guff.

    Couldn't really announce it before telling him though!

    I'd assume the club would usually take the position of not commenting on individual contracts but felt the need to respond. As long as it doesn't go on and on I have no issue with it tbh.

    Football has been the same for years, no need to change it was unprofessional to put what he did on twitter. What his wife put is a whole different level of unprofessional which escalated the problem.

    Do you want a minute by minute update from the club?

    People know exactly what they might read on twitter, I assume it is not policed by anyone so the more outrageous and abusive they can be and get away with is a challenge for others to trump it, where as on here it would be nipped in the bud by the MODs.
    I agree with your above comment and as I've posted before about the likes of Love Island and Geordie Shore, what's that all about, some are no better than dogs on heat, and no I'm not jealous...............honest ;).

    It's not just twitter, there's a few on here. I refuse to not view all the good contributions on both here and Twitter because of some delusional crap.

    It should have never come out the way it did. How often have do you see a player post the way Colin did, and before a club announce he's left?

    It's just a player leaving a football club. That's it.

    I sort of agree with you but that's based on not having a huge experience of social media unless somebody on here posts a link. But in general terms in managing the media, I get the impression in recent months that we have become reactive and just respond to the situation. These days, we rarely seem to get ahead of the game. And when there's either a lot of negative stuff, we fail to nip it in the bud or finish up handling it badly. And when there's nothing to be said, the club is content to let others fill the void. And at the moment for a whole variety of reasons, it reinforces the prevailing negativity around the place.

    Your comment about a lack of trust and let's be blunt, it's a lack of trust in one or maybe both of the owners, won't suddenly disappear overnight and I suspect it will get worse before it is turned around. It would be good for them to explain exactly what their plans are for the club. They've had a couple of goes at it already but there are so many inconsistent messages that it's no wonder that whatever trust there was has now largely disappeared. God help the owners if recruitment doesn't go as well as fans expect and we lose a few games at the start of the coming season. All the blame will rightly be laid at their door and only their door.

    I agree with you on that point. However, this is on top of months of mishandling situations, yes I agree a lot of fans are over reacting, but that is what happens. Nobody is believing Edin, the constant mixed messages. You have to question what is going on.

    Its not bad press. Its some rather flakey city fans looking for ANYTHING they can to slag off the club at this time.

    The club has released a statement outlining the position with Doyle. An offer was made.

    You have a HUGE chip on your shoulder slagging the club off at any opportunity but in reality most of what you spout is utter crap.

    You say the club has treated Doyle badly? Please explain the details to back this assertion up?

    What was the way that they did business that was so wrong in your opinion?

    Clearly you believe a players wife posting on twitter over a formal club statement.

    No story here.

    Well we all see stuff differently I can't honestly think of one poster on here that is anywhere near what your saying twitter is like, I have no one on ignore on this forum.

    Maybe one more reason if I did view twitter I would be selective on who I read.
