Speaking is really difficult though. It's hard to practice, but he doesn't look shy so hopefully he picks it up quickly. Just keep him away from Locke 😂 Brilliant ...I so remember his mentoring of Juanjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 34 minutes ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: It certainly won’t result in interest in Japan if we make no effort to engage with the market. What people are basically saying is that marketing and promoting something is OTT, a waste of time and a bit weird. Depends what you're marketing I guess. In this instance I think it's a bit OTT but I'm not criticising them for doing it or moaning which some are insinuating. I think it's cool and really hope it does work and is very lucrative. If he was in their international team or something I could see it but (and I may be wrong here) he doesn't seem to be a big name in his homeland.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 People also neglecting the prospect of this opening up the opportunity of the player market for us direct with Japan also. Respect is a hugely important part of Japanese life. What dour unimaginative Scots see as OTT publicity, will likely be seen as a mark of respect by the Japanese. This will not be unhelpful for us if we ever want to tap into the Japanese market directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that you implementing your own version of how to make friends and influence people again? I don’t see anything wrong with what Tommy H Dug said. I see no harm in what the club has done - it may even have been a condition of the loan from Man City to do a load of publicity as they won’t have had the chance. Who knows? Who ****ing cares? Why are there a set of trumpets on here that have to moan about every ****ing thing the club does? I genuinely don’t get it and I wish those that way inclined would **** off and support someone else.

I think I've been pretty optimistic with a dash of realism thrown in. Nothing wrong with that. I just think we'll benefit in others ways rather than financially.

I'm really excited about Ryo being here and think he'll be a joy to watch. I reckon we'll gain almost no new fans in Japan, the Japanese site will have minimal hits and the merch sales on the back of it won't be huge. Is that moaning? No; fair play to the club trying it but it is all a bit OTT for relatively unknown player on loan imo. It's fun though. Anyone in our midfield that can take a pass from defence, control it & run at the opposition will be a joy to watch. Here's hoping! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese fans are notoriously fanatical about their own and if we market this right it should be a great opportunity to grow our presence in that part of the world and lead to a shed load of merchandise sales. The media team are playing a blinder and one again it is an example of the club trying to maximise every possible income stream. its clear that the clubs growth strategy is just beyond the comprehension of some of our fans. 4 Japanese journalists came over with him More than a bit of interest Edited August 31, 2019 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
