I give in! exactly what are the Flyers doing by not announcing these guys?? It's just making the club look bad. Are we still waiting on paperwork..... Maybe a deal with Abertay allowing them to announce the signings seeing as they're students there now?

I think the point was to let their new partner announce the signings in the same way that Arnold Clark Mercedes-Benz announced the Isaacs signing.. But as someone else says, the club should have had a press release ready to go with the Abertay one. Edit: PR event taking place in the next hour announcing the partnership with players needing to be in the country for the event. That explains why they've been in town without being announced They did an announcement on twitter for a signing then released the info at the time stated allowing for the build up etc. It was for the mascot. 2 imports new for the team are a few lines in a PR about sponsors. Their social media doesn't even mention it they leave it for fans to go on the article to find out. Not knocking the deal as I think its great but its not exactly the best way handle the PR.

It was a flyers announcement, they waited till today as abertay wanted involved in the announcement as they are effectively sponsoring both players to quite a considerable sum with the courses. It's why flyers did not announce it sooner, sometimes it's not only the fans that the team have to consider but valuable partners. And the Abertay deal is probably one of the most important Fife will sign. It's been a good bit of business in my opinion.

The delay in the announcement in these signings has probably been down to the final sign off of the Deal Probably sitting in some top officials in tray and final wording of announcement This is an excellent bit of work by the Club and University sponsoring the players also. There had to be a credible reason for the delay of this announcement Still good detective work by The Forum PIs Hopefully the club will spill on Brits next

I agree the PR aspect of the club is a total shambles, however on this occasion the decision to release the two imports associated with Abertay was taken a while ago in consultation with the Uni. The club's hands were kind of tied about the release of the names officially. Unfortunately in an age of social media the imports involved were found out 2 or 3 weeks ago and yip this made the clubs inability to say anything look amateurish..maybe if the rest of the PR throughout the close season hadn't been so awful, folk would not be so quick to say yet another fook up by Flyers PR.
