John Fenty quote on PR

Quoted from 1mickylyons

Here we go again........... Fenty invited the lad round to his house to conduct a Q&A over a weekend when he probably wanted to relax at home.I haven`t been to Fenty Towers but I would suggest this is probably a quiet room in the house hence a good place for an interview.
The other points you make regarding PR yes must do better and baffling it hasn`t been addressed but let`s not make out Fenty was trying to flaunt his wealth and who is to say Nathan the interviewer isn`t minted himself?

Unfortunately, after the £80,000 car reference, it's hard to tell. But one thing for sure, his ( and the boards) PR is beyond terrible. It's a shame that this is all taken by some as Feny-bashing, it clearly isn't, it's a clear and present problem that is holding up any progress in mending things between them and us.

I completely take your point, but I wasn't trying to make out Fenty was flashing his wealth. All I was saying is that you need to consider your surroundings and the audience you're addressing.

Little 'tricks' like doing it in familiar territory makes a huge (if unconscious) difference. It's a fairly standard PR practice and just one I felt Fenty missed.

I think he is saying that a good PR person would have thought about where the interview takes place, if you remember that last time Fenty did an interview from his home, people took the mickey out of the picture on his wall with a woman with her bottom hanging out and taking the mickey out of his decor. It was a welcome interview done by Nathan bit this interview was done to try and get fans on board, this could have been done in the boardroom, how many on here have seen the boardroom, maybe more of a talking point than Fenty damaging the baize. I wouldn't regard that interview as flaunting his wealth, the damaged car was though, a £80K scratched car is a still a scratched car, the crime being just as bad.

What I was thinking last Tuesday night. If someone scratched my Fiesta would it only be 10% of the crime?

WHERE'S THE CUEBALL GOING?!

Strange sort of frame that leaves just the yellow, blue and black on the table  

When I was 17 I could only afford to play pocket billiards.

Probably to the Police, I know when my car got scratched outside the dentist where my wife took our kids. It was a blue Zafira and all the Police had to say was, it was more than likely kids playing snooker, we later saw another blue zafira with the same length of scratch on the same side.
