Chris @cscottaus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Freeing myself of both the smart watch, and the sense that I needed a smart watch in the first place, were liberating beyond belief. See also: fitness bands and anything else that made me believe that I needed to be self-surveilling for my own good. 000
Chris @cscottaus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Been thinking about this a touch more today, and also one of the things I've seen plenty of people saying; that there's nobody involved with Manchester City for whom we should feel any sympathy. For me, that's true except in one instance - rank and file staff, and particularly those in comms. 100

Chris @cscottaus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As someone who's worked for the last decade+ as a sports comms bod, I keep wondering what would compel you to advise the media strategy that Manchester City have used over the past five days. The only answer I can get to is: you wouldn't. It's absurd. 020
Chris @cscottaus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is quite something. It wouldn't surprise me if the appeals procedures took an extremely long time from here, but the pressure for serious sanctions (given both volume and scale of findings of guilt) will be enormous. 020
