PR League Premier League VG

In a normal world, the Premier League has surprisingly strong control over how its own billion-dollar product is made public, and for the regular football fan it is hardly perceived as a major problem that the principles of a real free press do not. appear high priority.

As long as the fight was fun, PL will be fine with the fact that the pre-fight and post-fight interviews have been conducted toothlessly and predictably. The culture of the “Press Officers” position, a regular steel watchdog group, has managed to print that it is ready to get off a trail that sources have been able to define.

Here sports, sports and again sports are applied.

But like in many other areas, the crown crisis is now changing the way things used to be. And it’s sensational to witness how public relations struggles to cope with a time when a comic book world has to deal with reality.

Already, the compensation cases have caused several clubs, such as Tottenham and Liverpool, not insignificant reputational damage. It is simply incomprehensible that it was possible to establish yourself in a situation where the costs for non-gaming staff would be shifted from wealthy clubs to the public, who have everything else to spend money at the moment rather than being mitigators of the wealth.

This had the inevitable consequence that placement clubs had to resort to a humiliating financial change. And while not everyone made those decisions, the inflamed case has helped put the industry in a justified critical light, where issues of wage cuts at a time when soccer is not becoming demanding.

But the public relations problems don’t end there for the Premier League. To believe the reports in the British press, the league appears to have brought the need for control from a normal situation to circumstances that are anything but normal.

And allegations of a ban on asking about issues in the midst of a pandemic may suddenly be more difficult to handle than everyday hands on the wheel.

Now there are some reservations to be made regarding the British press, and the Premier League does not appear to have commented on the matter. But what accumulates in the Daily Mail and is followed by others is based on a specific email that must circulate internally with a licensee. Here is a reference to how there should be a list of what companies with urgent content need to avoid asking players and managers right now, unless they want to disagree with the Premier League – don’t come and ask about the consequences of the crown situation or how this can really proceed, access should be “fun and relaxed”.

Any closed-door matches, layoffs, and possible consequences for Liverpool’s title search are reportedly issues that the league defines as outsiders.

Obviously, these are very relevant questions, which must be part of the press’s social mission, including coverage of English football. But the rice behind the mirror should be losing access.

The irony is that the Premier League is likely to be more damaging to press releases with accusations of mouthwash, which they are experiencing now, than it would have been if the players had provided relevant answers to relevant questions at a time that is a challenge for all of us.

In all likelihood of world-class English football, glory and stasis quickly return when the beautiful game looks forward to rolling again, but in the meantime, it’s not only economical for this product to experience injury.

And still, no one knows what happens to the gigantic value of the TV deal if the startup plan must be an illusion within a reasonable time …
