It it was that badly misjudged, then surely a noticeable percentage of Hibs' 91.2k followers on Twitter would have responded with their disappointment, instead of just a handful of loudmouths who probably haven't got a good word to say about Hibs right now?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Companies sponsor things to get attention. So club tells people it’s going to announce something at 2pm to get people’s attention for said sponsor.
Is this news to people?

I think people are polarising the issue here as being either pro or anti twitter trolls. It's okay to think that folk in the twitter replies are arse holes but also admit that the club probably could have handled the announcement in a more effective way. Which undoubtedly they could and should have.

There are negative comments on the platform they used to release the news but very little in the way of positive comments.
I’ll not be rushing to tweet my disapproval, tell the person tweeting that they’re this or that, but some of the tweets in the last few weeks have been terrible. I think they were trolling today.

The recent twitter output has been akin to a stand up comedian dying on stage. A comedy audience doesn’t turn up to a gig with the intention of heckling and booing an act. However, if a comedian is struggling with their delivery and not getting many laughs then it’s likely the audience will quickly turn against them. After a string of dud tweets and mistakes, with the audience firmly against them, today’s “Good news at 2pm” teaser was the equivalent of said comedian saying “hold on you’ll like this next one” and then failing deliver a good punchline.
Any abuse of people working for the club is out of line, nobody deserves to be abused on line just for doing their job. However, while some have resorted to extreme inappropriate behaviour, the fact remains that many are disappointed with the content/output of the clubs social media channels in recent months. This feeling isn’t based on a single tweet but a lot of the output over that time. While in isolation, instances such as today, missing our key player from the cup final line up or calling Paul McGinn John McGinn during the POTY are not a big deal, cumulatively they start to make the club look amateur and a target for ridicule by rival fans.

Investment from a priciple partner and shirt sponsorship is major news at any club and worthy of media build up. Ron Gordon identified gaps in our commercial and corporate activity in the city and certainly appears to be delivering.
Twitter is a cesspit. Full of vile trolls. A necessary part of any modern communication strategy but every time you dip your toe in it you come away feeling soiled.
Too many people treat twitter like it is real life, the slightest mistake in a tweet is earth shattering. Most people, most Hibs supporters don’t give a **** how it was delivered on twitter, they just acknowledge some good Hibs news and get on with the rest of their day.Last edited by Spike Mandela; 05-06-2021 at 07:39 AM.

We’re back to the stage where for a select group of fans the club can do nothing right, we lost a cup final we had no divine right to win and now things like announcing player of the year or a player scoring for his national team or heavens forbid the club regains an income stream many fans have voiced concerns over losing the last couple of years and these idiots hammer them night and day.
I think the club owe Utillita to at least attempt to create a stir with a big ‘drum roll’ style announcement it’s the least they’d expect from investing 6 figures in the club any main sponsor would, to hammer the club because they’ve done that is mental IMO it says more about these guys on twitter some of them fully grown men that they’ve got there knickers in such a twist over signings none of them know will actually happen that any announcement other than ‘Sparky returns’ is being treated with such disrespect.
I actually wonder how long it will be before the draw bridge gets pulled up again and we end up with the total disconnect we had prior to Dempster and stubbs coming in, I’m aware it’s a minority of the 91k+ followers buts it’s a droning constant torrent of negativity on every subject id at least expect the twitter guy to be cut from the wage bill and links to direct articles on the website to replace it

Yep, I'm not sure if these clowns realise that they're probably affecting the club's commercial income possibilities given the poison that appears under every communication?
... then they'll moan when the likes of Aberdeen outbid us for players.

FFS..perhaps naively Hibs twitter thought they could inject a wee bit better feeling amongst a pissed off support. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that. Do you think they're deliberately trying to wind people up. To those snowflakes hurting cos "Hibs put a crap tweet out" ......Grow the **** up and act like decent human beings.

You do the same thing you moan about others doing but there’ll always be a justification as to why it’s all right for you to do so, of course.
Think you enjoy the argument like the Twitter ‘dicks’.

As always in life it's those who aren't happy who make the most noise. The problem is that they're not happy with Hibs. Their complaints have nothing to do with the announcement, nothing to do with the identity of our sponsor and nothing to do with the amount of sponsorship. Instead they're simply using the announcement as another stick to beat the club with.
Conversely there is little for a football fan to get excited about by the announcement, hence the lack of supportive tweets or posts. It's a non-controversial sponsor paying us the expected sum of money for the sponsorship.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate.

We're now over 20 hours on from the tweet. Why is this still a thing?
Would it not just be easier and better for all to let it lie and move on? The last 4 or 5 pages are dominated by the same half a dozen posters making the same points over and over again. No one is going to change their mind this far down the line so it has long ceased being a debate. The advice has repeatedly been that people on Twitter need to grow up, maybe that applies here as well. Agree to disagree and move on FFS before yet another thread has to be closed.

You keep responding to my posts telling my how wrong the club's twitter guy has got things, something you've done far less with others who express similar views to my own.
It looks to me like you're the one "enjoying the argument".

Posters on here roaring and greeting about people hiding behind "faceless accounts" giving out "abuse" on twitter yet they are running away onto a different platform, behind a faceless account, to call people morons, dicks, clowns ect. If you think that then why not pull these people up on twitter instead of coming onto here and being a hypocrite? Would be laughable if it wasnt so predictable/sad.
