saint lard Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 I for one think it is quite good to have our gaffer and the coaching staff available to 'chat too'....but I fear it could be detrimental and makes them open/vulnerable to abuse which could undermine their planning and thought processes.......could they be influenced to fulfill fans wishes just to appease them?

shurlock Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 No. Saying that. I always liked MP's steely indifference to all forms of media. Anyone in a position of authority using Twitter is a bit cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 He obviously won't be replaying to questions very often. Don't see it does any harm but in the end it will be our own fans that probably stop him using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 The wonderful thing about twitter is you can choose what you wish to see or not. I suspect he is using a smartphone to post directly to twitter & therefore will not see any of the replies unless he actually goes looking for them. I think the only way he will actually see something pop up in his "newsfeed" is if someone sends him a direct message which isn't the same as mentioning him in a twitter post. To receive a direct message he would need to be following that individual & i reckon he isn't daft enough to follow anyone who he doesn't know.I pretty much guarantee either the club or Roko will have someone who does actually monitor social media for fan reaction (under an anonymous name of course) & will then feedback the filtered results. As for rude/ trolling type replies to twitter most celbs/ sportspeople are getting wise to this now & there seems to be a fresh approach of actually belittling the poster. I recall Rickie Lambert doing an interview like this recently where he responded to the "less filtered" comments on twitter about him & also on a recent Us chat show, jimmy kimmel where celebs responded to tweets about them http://www.newageman.co.uk/videos/celebrities-read-mean-tweets-about-them so in a nutshell i think he will be fine.

Heisenberg Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 Koemans openess shows a level of confidence that Mopo has yet to develop. I love the fact that Koeman has Saints pics all over his Twitter account + was taking pictures of the training ground and despite speaking great English wanted to improve to help our team. He speaks of his pleasure and honour of managing us......All qualities that mopo never demonstrated once in his 18 months. On the management side Koeman is a step up from mopo. Just hope we can do similar upgrades to our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 Its good to see an effort to communicate with the supporters, especially after the last character who barely gave a toss from day one. Of course the RK Twitter account will probably be withdrawn at some stage after the first controversy ( criticism of a ref or team performance etc).

Bad Wolf Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 As long as it doesn't get the better of his managerial duties or let things slip etc, what's the problem? If he wants to let us know what he's having for dinner then who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 It's fine when things are going well - not sure it's too great if we start to struggle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddings and Monkeys Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 We have started to struggle, our best players are all leaving. And we are about to bring in some very good new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Abroad Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 With 600k+ followers he's probably inundated with dic pics and other useless tweets. I doubt he reads them. He does, however, need to learn not to use spaces in hashtags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSt Peter Saint Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 To all of the people who think he'll respond to your tweets, he won't. His twitter is for broadcast, rather than conversation. He looks like he does them himself, so there's not a PR person on the end of it to respond to every tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Saint Posted 30 June, 2014 Share Posted 30 June, 2014 The internet has really dumbed down journalistic output. The medium is unlimited so editors don't give a monkeys if the story is a load of tripe. When they had to spend money on paper and ink, editors where a bit more discerning what got in.

saint lard Posted 6 July, 2014 Author Share Posted 6 July, 2014 Koeman has posted some nice pics and some relevant and open thoughts which habern positively received. I fear what may happen in the future and how detrimental it could become. Especially after Lovrens recent use of social media and the responses he got back.
