I think your comms person and my comms person need to talk. Your posts have a lot more common sense about them than mine.

Don't worry, the mods can see all of your posts so if we see anything particularily good, we'll publish it before you.

On the drafting thing, I imagine its pretty common these days to do one before things are signed. Given the prevalence of social media, rumours spread pretty quickly so it seems like good practice to have something to release quickly if the news breaks before you planned it.

I understand a draft, but it should be saved to a local pc, not as a draft on a website...that seems the rookie mistake to me.

I'm surprised to learn that journalists invent quotes for people in advance and just get them to ok it.
I'm even more surprised that most people seem to think that's all fine and good. I know this is 'how the world works' these days but why should that be accepted as fine? It's a complete farce.
I don't want to know what some journalist thinks they should say, I want to know what they actually have to say.

We aren't talking journalists. We are talking comms people who work in the same company. Massive difference.

Then every article about a kiwi sportsmen joining a new team would read something like this: "Yeah, nah. Really glad to be joining the boys, um, yeah, real excited, aye. Um, yeah, looking forward to getting out on the paddock. Chur."

So apparently Phoenix drafted the story and put it on their website unpublished. Someone at FFA saw it, and put the story on FFA's website not realising it was unpublished.
That's not our fault
Apparently it is our fault based on some of the reaction on here.
I know. Odd.
No, not really. Many people here really, really jump to the worst possible conclusions about our club and its management.

Yeah. Let's face it, just because someone's skilled at the old footy doesn't mean they can even string a basic sentence together in English or any other language. Some of the stuff I've read which made Carlos sound like an absolute arrogant twit, for example, was clearly (from the second-language English syntax) a direct quote.

I see where Jeff is coming from. I think its fine to type up an article but I would have left it on my own machine until the deal was done and dusted. I would never trust it to anyone else to hold on to. I bet no one at the FFA will be held responsible. And should CCM and this deal fall over, I think the Nix have every rit to compensation for the incompetence that has been displayed.
Why keep something simple when we can over complicate it resulting in a massive cluster fuck?
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

CCM fans don't think they have the squad or cap space for WeeMac, presumably the club moved forwards on the assumption that he was gone.

If Michael McGlinchey was yet to approve those quotes then essentially that press release has the status of Rusty Gray's Phoenix Fan Fiction.
Love it - I wonder if he's got any other good stuff stashed away in a drawer.
Lionel Messi signs for the Phoenix due to his infatuation with pop starlet Lorde?
Ernie Merrick leaves the Nix to become the new Doctor Who?
David Dome dies in a mysterious accident in the Nix office kitchen and is replaced by Russell Gray?
The possibilities are endless.
Peter "m#$%^&*( f%^&*" Capaldi for 'Nix in identity switch shock?

Ghost writing for a book is one thing, making up quotes that have not even been said AT ALL is just ludicrous.

Correct. Loan finishes on June 30 when he released back to the Salties.
Can people wait that long?

From my dealings with comms in my job, its pretty common for them to write quotes that are attributed to people who haven't necessarily said them. That person then generally gives the all clear after seeing the draft. I've also seen many draft press releases that, for one reason or another, haven't been published.
When this site first launched, I wrote up an "interview" I "did" with Simon Elliott to help us get some credibility. Feverish insisted that I spoke to him and let him know about it before it was published, so I gave him a call and read him the "quotes" to make sure he was fine with them. He said he wasn't, I said I didn't care, and we published the "interview" anyway.
That example shows just how murky the waters of investigative journalism and "quotes" are.
Cool story huh? Ryan Gosling to play me, Jason Statham to play to Simon and Troy Verner to play Feverish in the movie adaptation of the event.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

How is that site updated? Is it based on official Fifa information or more like a Wiki?

Considering what we've all been through already, I'm sure you'll forgive me for not believing you at all. Until I hear it from the Phoenix themselves I won't believe it.
