Sounds a bit dutch to me - possible double Dutch? ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif) or am I stirring things up
On the subject of the said poster - I met him for the first time the other week in the George and Dragon and I can concur with you on that observation ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

| A very poor press release that pours petrol on a fire IMHO - saying nothing is better than that very short response.
We are still very much a work in progress as a sports club and learning so hopefully we'll learn from this and if there's a 'next time' be able to move to quickly to counter any form of bad news and maybe its something we could learn as a Chairman leaving totally out the blue with the club having achieved none of its goals thus far will make people think there is something wrong.
If John has left for business or private issues in my experience its better telling the employees (or in this case the fans) precisely why - no need for a intimate blow by blow details but a........
'The BOM was sorry to hear our respected chairmen John Roddy has stepped down after a year in charge due to work commitments in his business.
In his short time with the Centurions John has overseen the transition period which now see's our club in a sound financial footing and a strong Championship RL club that is going places.
As you can imagine this is a busy period at Leigh Centurions so we will be appointing another chairmen in the future but for now all our focus and energy has to be on picking up another valuable 3 points in our quest for the top 2 spot which we are still on target to achieve.
A further update will be within the next 4 weeks but for now we urge all our supporters and sponsors to continue to BeLeighve and rest assured the BOM will ensure none of Johns hard work goes to waste, see you at Dewsbury on Sunday.'
Not massive, not giving much away and easy to knock up.
Hopefully once someone has time we'll put something a bit more 'wordy' out, a reassurance everything is ok can go a long way and stop any negativity.

| Thank God that's out at last.
John will be missed not just for what he did but for who he is, without him Derek and Michael I don't know where we would be now
It's onwards and upwards, we met tonight to discuss the commercials and all I can say is wow the future is looking brilliant

I find this post a Tad disrespectful if I'm honest to the board as a whole considering many people have worked very hard for the cause a casing point being Steve Openshaw who has probably worked harder and done more for the club than any of us this last 12 months.
We are all in this together are we not?

----Following Leigh Centurions in the Championship until the day I die. I don't beLEIGHve.----: |
|
| Trying not to fly off the handle into a foul mouthed tirade of abuse at some of the posters on this thread, I'm just going to have to sit back and wonder if there are really people on the otherside of these usernames or if it's just one big conspiracy to wind me up.
It's the most depressing place in the world sometimes this place, it really is.
John Roddy, thanks for the great work you've done in the last 12 months or so, unbelievable how far we've come since then. Ignore the cretins, and hope you still come along for the ride, I'm sure we're all still in VERY safe hands with the current BOM. All the best in the future, and in whatever it is you're doing.
