Such as what? He’s said he’s broken his foot, what more news could there be.
I wish him a speedy recovery.

I think it's more a case of the player in question providing the information himself. I seem to recall Tommy Wright also making an announcement about his injury on Twitter. I don't have an issue with it myself, and if Dos did, then he could simply add a clause to player contracts requiring them to refrain from giving information concerning their injuries on social media. Simples.

We're not offering up anything that isn't in the public domain.

Most clubs these days have a strict social media policy for their players. That's part of the reason why I don't follow players on Twitter; they rarely say anything interesting!

The more salient point, or pertinent issue as it were, is that not just football clubs but all businesses, organisations and the like drive traffic to their own media for what I would expect to be obvious reasons. The most common, I think, being own website, twitter, facebook and insta.
If those channels cease to be first with their own news (if even posting it all in some cases) then something is not quite right and people go elsewhere and/or reduce the frequency of visits; credibility is lost and perception diminishes and so on. Traffic, hits, enfranchisement, transparency, following and the like fall. For an organisation like SUFC, the vast majority of club news (assets) should be relatively easy to control; it shouldn't be <that> difficult, subject to a bit of forethought, availability of resource (people) and other factors. Updates, news, info and so on will organically transfer to forums, other websites and similar.
I'm no media professional or PR expert but the basics seem obvious to me and a point I have often made concurs with the above; once it's out there, it's out there.

The club Twitter in particular used to be excellent in this regard and was at the forefront; this seems to have waned more recently and the media in general. Now it seems more important that there are emojis all over them than either their speed or in some cases, their accuracy. It's actually become the butt of jokes amongst supporters. |

Social media has fallen a part a bit since the new broom swept clean..., it is aimed mainly at the children now, you can see that from the wording used to attract the short attention spans (Like the word TIX! HATE IT). I have nothing against GIFs, they can be useful if done correctly, although doing count downs and such are pointless, another thing that is very telling is just how much interaction has gone down in the past 6 months. much fewer retweets and comments are happening, I would question the truth behind the number of true followers the club really has on twitter now. The club appear to be putting all their eggs in the facebook basket for a generation that we will not see through the gate for another 20-30 years.
