Another point. That Melanie herself tweeted.
"His role is focused on liaising with broadcast and written media"
This suggests that David Prentice was in the media room when the club handed out the statement to Juliet Ferrington (BBC), Greg O'Keefe (theAthletic) and/or the ECHO's reporter. Including the non written briefing of headlock etc
Plus was involved in the 17 January 2023, rewriting/commenting on historical events, the club only hours before said it would not comment on.
That in itself rather startling and the comments I've seen from people have actually been very respectful (indeed my criticisms keep in mind she is Dixie Dean's grand daughter, but I'm not going to allow that to stop me criticising Bill Kenwright and the mis-management of the club in any way shape or form).
The wife of the senior communications manager is implying that anyone that criticises the mismanagement of the club, is 'splitting the fanbase' or has 'split the fanbase'
Its simply not acceptable.
They, the fans and shareholders, pay into the club. They have freedom of thought and freedom of speech.
No one has split the fanbase. Indeed that is despite Bill Kenwright's best efforts to do so. Protests do not impact player performance nor signings.
Neither of the Prentices will stop the criticism. That culture that originates from Bill Kenwright is gone. Never to return.
People have the right to call a spade a spade and criticise poor running of the club
They pay into the club. They have freedom of thought and freedom of speech.
In fact the inhibiting of criticism (e.g. Cancelling the EFC Annual General Meeting etc and misuse of media) has actually damaged the club!!!
