]]> Comment on Man U follow the bankers by Greg Felgate http://www.crowdsurfing.net/2010/01/20/man-u-follow-the-bankers/comment-page-1/#comment-339 Greg Felgate Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:08:46 +0000 http://www.crowdsurfing.net/?p=912#comment-339 Hi Martin, great post and I couldn't agree more. It's such a shame that certain mis-guided corporate teams react in this way. As you said, Twitter accounts held by the players provides the fans with a really credible and trusted source of information... now all those fans, who were following players such as Rooney, will have now seen that link severed. These fans will be left with a bitter taste in their mouths and they will have yet another reason to lose a little bit more faith in their club. Surely they would have benefitted more by having a few behind closed doors Twitter training sessions, to educate the players in a few basic Social Media do's and don'ts? What with a corporate team like this and 'boot-licking morons' like Neville, they are surely doomed to become the second team in Manchester in a few years!

Thanks for putting the link up there! Mum's the word! Having said that, I like to think of Bookmaps more like teasers for those who haven't read the book and reminders for those that have. So it's a win-win for everybody. Cheers, Pete Hi Martin!
