SUPER LEAGUE PUBLICITY TEAM SUBJECTED TO DEATH THREATS

DEATH threats were sent to PR staff promoting the European Super League during the 48 hours before the project collapsed on Tuesday evening. Employees of London-based iNHouse Communications, described by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as the ‘Fortnum & Mason of communications’ in a testimonial on the company website, were targeted with vile messages during a tumultuous period for the national game. iNHouse were founded in 2006 by former broadcast journalist Jo Tanner and Katie Perrior, who served as Downing Street director of communications from 2016-17. Perrior and Tanner also led the PR campaign for Mr Johnson’s successful 2008 London Mayoral campaign. iNHouse could not be reached for comment.
