What I was trying to say was that criticising a company could ultimately do you and your employer more damage than the company you have criticised. My thought being - would you hire someone who has openly criticised your company? Bad PR should be highlighted, but I think we should consider the potential consequences before we do it. Basically if you wouldn't say it in person then don't say it online. Not sure if I explained what I meant properly in my post.

Agreed - highlighting a particular footballer's or team's failings does not mean that anyone thinks football should be ashamed of itself and is not to be trusted. Clients are paying you big bucks to be experts at communications. When PR Fails, the offenders should be named and shamed and drummed out. I think Jonathan could go even further and include a FAILchart to identify persistent offenders. Nice post.
