Phillips455 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I saw the email and my first thought seeing the title.... We're doomed. Just a matter of when not if now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they need to be trapped in a cupboard. I have quite a lot of time for Motherwell’s media operations, but that wasn’t very good at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I mean, when there was talk of an 'Investment initiative' I assumed there was some sort of substantive commercial/financing agreement in the pipeline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The investment initiative that took what? 18 months/2years? There it is boys. Drink it up. A McMahon masterminded scheme. Beg for money! That's it, the be all and end all. Make a funny video and hope it goes "viral". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes at least two of us. You kinda hope that it is so bad we get more coverage as people talk about it. You know like those Go Compare adverts or similar. Maybe some Sheikh stumbles across it and writes a huge cheque whilst pissing his pants…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, 100% is my reaction to that video tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1GregStewart Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thought the video was mildly amusing. Take it in the spirit it’s meant to be, Would be amazing (and amazed!) if it worked, I would love it so much if anyone could win the league that wasn’t a bigot (so that rules out hearts). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I don't think the video itself is that bad. If we'd produced it as a bit of a giggle, with a bit more humour etc, the idea isn't a million miles off Hartley and the piano etc. The trouble is - well, there's tonnes of trouble but as a stand out - it was trailed as a serious campaign and then muddled the serious message among the gags. But clearly we don't need a proper head of comms or anything... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after years of Burrows and Russell working to "tell compelling stories" and create the idea of the club as a credible thing then they launch this. I feel a bit sorry for Scott and the media team in so much as they'll have been told to put it together but as @Busta Nut says the actual messaging and "initiative" is entirely the work of unserious people who it would appear don't have a fucking clue what they're doing in this specific area. But we definitely don't need a Head of Digital, Brand and Communications... Edited January 10 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I realise I got an email, might just have been a Well Society one, requesting that I attend Fir Park for ‘something’. I didn’t go but clearly others did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now watched it twice (I know I know) and I don't think it's as bad the second time viewing it. There is some reasonable stuff in there and the middle part of the video is actually alright. Highlighting the community benefit is a real selling point for the club and I do believe it's a big thing for potential investors in the current climate to be seen to be doing good in communities. However the Taylor Swift thing at the end... No disrespect to the wee lad and I hate to pick on a part that has a kid saying it but whatever adult thought that was a good line at the end, Jesus Christ. I get the video is supposed to be relatively light hearted (I'd rather it was less so but whatever) but that just brings the whole thing down tbh. I could almost make my peace with the rest and brush it off but tbh that line really kills it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think people are adding this humorous element to mask their rid necks. There is no intended humour IMO. The players are laughing cos they know the state of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
