Directors on twitter 14:01 - Feb 4 with 5235 views | shandyjack | Was mentioned on the JJS thread but i am getting really embarrassed by the tweets these twits are sending out ref other clubs and their demise/squad strentgh etc. I understand they are fans like us but i think they should be more professional with their tweets concerning football related matters. Is this something that could be put to them,as one director seems intent on arguing with fans on twitter with even the slightest criticism | |

I think it would be far more classy if they could separate their professional and supporters hats out and not tweet from the boardroom. However, the reply to the Newcastle Chronicle is pretty even handed and after all, Mr Shelvey did start it less than a week after he arrived in Newcastle. | | | |

Directors on twitter on 22:40 - Feb 4 with 2688 views | dougie | I think your right to a certain extent that they should be careful on what they say. I also think its great that they are accessable. We must remember that this site tweets as well. Very often tongue in cheek but non the less sometimes no different to jvs in thought. Who tweets on behalf of planetswans.? The owner = chair of the trust = 20 % shareholder We are either diff or we are not compared to others. If we we are then lets be happy our owners are passionate. It isnt a big deal in the scheme of things. Actually most the time no one other than us cares a f***. | | | |

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you. There are responsibilities that go with positions in any organisation and the higher up you go in the organisation the greater the responsibility as you are seen to be representing that organisation whether you think so or not. I don't know JVZ but from his words and actions he is clearly a passionate fan that put money into the club at a time of need and as a consequence of that he is also a director of the club. In my view there are responsibilities that go with being a director. I would humbly suggest that if he wants to tweet or post as a fan that he adopts a user name to do that and uses his named Twitter account etc. to tweet or post as a director of the club. As a fan I don't necessarily disagree with how he feels about issues and as a person he should be able to express his views but when he expresses those views in his own name which links him as a director of the club it doesn't always reflect well on the club. | | | |

100% agree. If I were a current sponsor or potential future one, I might feel slightly uncomfortable about a senior member participating in such activity on Twitter. Every reputable business will have a social media policy which reminds all employees of their responsibilities while representing the company and also outside of work. I know we do and it's common sense not to do anything that could cause potential embarresment or negative media coverage against the business, | | | |

Excellent post. I'm another one who thinks this issue should be raised by the Supporter's Trust with all the directors, and quickly. | | | |
Directors on twitter on 09:13 - Feb 5 with 2274 views | monmouth | Personally I like them communicating and showing emotion, but maybe just be a bit smarter or more subtle. Shelvey opened himself up to public retaliation after his moronic public comments about the club so I'd certainly say some leeway is allowed here. I'd rather have seen something like 'We were delighted with the Shelvey deal as I'm sure are Newcastle and their fans'. but I guess that's not the nature of tw@ting. | |

Can't agree with you, Monny. If you're tw@tting under your own name, clearly identifiable as a Swansea director, your comments will inevitably be seen as indistinguishable from the club's views. See Darran's post of the 'Sun' article. Yes, I know the paper is a sh1t stirring rag, but why give them ammunition in the first place? It is bringing our club into disrepute. | | | |

Oh well, no such thing as bad publicity Or is there......? I wonder how Shelvey will react. Caravans parked in Zwed's garden? | |

I hope what he said is the club's view though! But, yeah I can see the point; he should just leave it to us lot to take the piss and take more care. He's deleted them now, which to me actually makes it worse. I wonder if he'd had a couple of glasses ogf Krug... | |

Absolutely. I think it's pretty poor that this even needs to be pointed out to directors. No class at all/ Defo needs to be raised by the Trust. | | | |

That is very true, and also the very reason why people holding a responsible position within OUR club should not be treating it in such an irresponsible manner. I also agree with the poster that suggests, potential sponsors may be wary of getting involved with any organisation that have board members using social media in such an unprofessional way. | |

I do agree with you but they do have to be careful what they say as people are ready to pick up on things. I don't think they should even do this subtlety as this will get twisted if it suits. Did a Newcastle rag run it first.? I have no doubt if they did then they did so to try and hide their teams awful display :-). JVS didn't actually say anything did he ? Just re tweeted stuff. Anyway i personally wouldn't want them to remove their accounts. Huw Cooze and dineen in the main use it to send out info and answer questions which is a good thing. They however have had hiccups themselves in the past and somehow this needs to be stopped | | | |

Nah - the problem is that they don't take it seriously enough. Lot of talk in top level sports about marginal gains. Now just ask yourself if this episode is likely to lead to marginally more effort or marginally less effort from JJS. And then ask yourself whether we actually should be helping a relegation rival however marginally, to up their performance to 'prove a point'. Second time in a month this sort of thing has happened. We have a classy management team in place let down by some classless board members. No other club denigrates opponents in this way. And yes, I get the whole 'but they're fans just like us' bit. Apart from they're not are they, as evidenced by these same people refusing to sell shares to the trust. As I've said before, it's my opinion that there is a whole load of unwarranted hubris at this club and unless it stops and we lose some arrogance, it'll bite us on the backside. | | | |
