Why the local media didn't ask questions during the Angers-SCO press conference

Since September, Angers-SCO has systematically refused any interview request made by the local press, whether Courrier de l'Ouest, Ouest-France, Angers Télé and Oxygène Radio. Regardless of the subject considered, the player or the manager requested, the response from the communications department, laconic, is always no.

The club limits itself to the minimum obligations set by the LFP, namely organizing a pre-match press conference and ensuring passage, post-match, at a press conference and in the mixed zone. It is its right, but this silence of variable geometry – the national media are not concerned – questions the communication strategy of a club which, at the local level, has gradually closed in on itself, but which does not Don't forget to post on your social networks the content of the press conferences hosted, essentially, by this same local press.

A meeting with the General Director of the Angevin club, organized in recent days, did not resolve the situation.

This Friday, November 29, the local media therefore chose not to ask any questions during this pre-match meeting, apologizing of course to the players and the coach, who are in no way responsible blockage and who are always happy to answer questions… when they come to them.

A one-off action to mark our incomprehension of this situation. However, your newspaper will of course continue to cover, as it has always done, SCO news. The club has chosen to cut its microphones, ours remain open more than ever.
