A good owner would make every effort to develop amd nurture good working relationships with stakeholders including supporters, potential sponsors, the council and the media. They would appreciate and reply to offers of help, like Simon Elliott has on Twitter. For those not on Twitter, yesterday an Iron supporting PR/marketing consultant who helped with the Portsmouth takeover called Kirsty O’Connor, reached out with an offer of help to Simon and Ian. Simon replied:
‘Many thanks for reaching out its appreciated. If we are successful in getting a deal over the line we would love to have a chat.’
Thought that was worth sharing, as I know some of you don’t view Twitter. It’s not all bad, though a lot of it is (why I never post on it). There are occasionally good things to see like that exchange that offer glimmers of hope.
