Salts,
If the club says nothing and the rest of the world is being told something, it looks as though we are keeping something secret, that we know something we cannot, or will not speak.
Even if our online statements are only words to the effect that we have been informed that our former manager James Rowe has been charged with ....... etc. Similarly, we could say that someone has been charged with regard to the Hallam Hope incident, but as it is sub judice we cannot say more. That shows we want to communicate.
It is almost always better to communicate than to maintain silence. Silence only creates a space for others to fill. If you say what you can say and say it honestly people will trust what you tell them on other matters ..... like team selection, transfers, the club's progress. Excluding people is rarely beneficial and as for silence, look where keeping schtum has got Kwasi Kwarteng.
Huddersfield for instance yesterday had not managed to tell its fans that they had a new manager, but he was already taking training that day. How highly will they in future rate their own website as a source of information?
On a personal level you are an excellent communicator, but you were a banker. Do you think perhaps your communication expectations may have been lowered by that experience?
Speaking is a risk you can control by what you say. Silence is a risk in which you hand control to the rest of the world.
