If he was sacked for we 8 rhinos then I personally would consider the club to be behaving very poorly indeed. However, the man himself appears to suggest on twitter that actually that's just an excuse and there are other reasons.

If so then it would be nice to know what they are.

Also, if there ARE other reasons, why would the club choose this particular "excuse" rather than tell the actual whole story, given how this "excuse" makes them look very petty indeed.

I do also wonder if all of this was stimulated from the much maligned 25% off deal after the Hull KR game?

^^^^^ This

I think there are other matters surrounding the 25% and the club have used the "we 8 rhinos" shirt as an excuse,



He wasnt happy with this, as was unfair to majority of the fans who had already spent full money on merchandise - and his belief was it isnt how you should treat the main support for the club,

Sounds to me like although his opinions were accurate and correct the hierarchy didnt like it

So one one hand they've reacted absurdly to we 8 thinos or on the other hand they've made up a petty excuse to cover the real reason. So unless anyone has a third other hand, the Bulls look daft.

I also assume that the club were more than happy to accept the money from the cost of the shirt printing too? Therefore they will happily take the coin but then try and act all innocent?

What a bunch of hypocrites.

Agree completely. I can't help but wonder if the club have made a rod for their own backs here. Lets hope the players have been reminded of their responsibilities and what is acceptable. Other wise it might be one of our top players who makes the next error of judgement and surely everyone has to be treated evenly?

Sadly I fear that eventually players tweets may end up being made private which would be a huge shame for everyone.

If that's the real reason it's ridiculous.

And if it is not the real reason then the "excuse" is ridiculous. Either way......

The Honeymoon period is well and truly over for Mr Khan I am afraid.

One of the best employees the club has ever had IMO. Shame they let him go over something so stupid.
Was he offering too much of a good service or something?

Looks like there's probably more to the sacking than meets the eye so can't really comment on that. But posting that picture although probably meant in the right spirit was a bit of a gaff from a senior manager while the club is In discussion about getting a superleague licence back.

Has anyone ever heard of between fans banter?

There in an unsavory taste about this sacking of an employee who has a decent rep within the fans.
If OK is to communicate he needs to explain this in more. detail

Clearly must be more to this than meets the eye.

Quite possible that the guy may have forgotten where his allegiances lay, and that he was being paid (assuming he was, and was not another "volunteer"icon_wink.gif to work for the club not the customers? But, even if that was to be the case, this is looking like another self-inflicted wound, I fear? Would he have gone had he been there lomg enough to take the club to a tribunal for unfair dismissal?

We none of us know the facts though, so speculation is not helpful and may be downright counterproductive. But someone said earlier that the honeymoon period is over, and IMO it would be sad indeed if today led to that.

The official kowtowing to Sod Hall and "el presidente" Never have happend in the Caisley or Hood tenures

perhaps should read was too honest with regards the quality of stock in public!

It was an obvious excuse to get rid but thats a Management ploy, nothing changes in that respect!

As Adeybull says there could be other issues here, but employment is a highly regulated area, and I don't think coming into work to find the locks on your office have been changed could be said to be part of a correct disciplinary process? or unless it says otherwise in a contract of employment that being what our Prime Minister would describe as a Twitter "t**t" would be grounds for summary dismissal?
Whatever the real reasons are behind this it doesn't seem to have been handled very well by the club - where was our glamourous in house spin doctor?
