Quote: orangeman "Cally Willoughby-Ward was with us up to 2007.....she left to go to the O2 and is now Senior Global Marketing Director - Golf at IMG. She was a marketing person when with us and her current status shows there is talent there.
Paul Blanchard joined us from Hull KR & was deemed only good enough to be given the Job title of General Manager, before becoming CEO and then leaving us after just 20 months. Paul is now Chief Executive at Commonwealth Games England.....again, another that left near the start of Hughes control who went on to better things.
Gus Mackay replaced Paul, coming from a cricketing background. After decimating the club with a series of insane decisions, he left, was on "gardening leave" for over 2 years, joined a Kiwi owned start up which didn't...start up that is and then went to Worcester RU where he presided over a fall in fans and sponsor revenue before leaving and then after 6 months popping up at Cricket Scotland where he has just left after a 6 months suspension over a bullying culture investigation. I can only assume he's back on "Gardening Leave" James Milner lists no prior roles on Linked in before he began stealing a wage for 2 years at the Broncos. He now claims to be the owner of APX Performance (All Sports Global Ltd) but a quick glance un the UK Government site shows that a Mr Abdul Qayyum Akram is the sole director. APX have recently opened a high Street store in Hull
It's interesting that those staff that left in the shortest period of time are the ones who now hold powerful roles on Sports Admin, whilst the 2 wage thieves are exactly where they deserve to be......as a side note, ex short term SENIOR head of Partnerships Richard Whiting has confirmed that the players read the boards and take fan rlcriticism hardrl....by my maths he lasted 4 months and delivered nothing, finding out that Canadian Campus Beer Festivals are an easier sell than London Broncos. His current status is "Gardening Leave" but at least Hughes didn't give him the mandatory 2+ years free loading.
There are others who came and left over the last 15 years of Hughes, but the top 4 further identify his ability to reward YES MEN whilst ignoring the advice of people like Blanchard & Willoughby-Ward who patently know exactly what they are doing.'"
Neil Reynolds - Comms at Ealing who was made redundant ( didn’t leave contrary to reports) Media manager for England Wheelchair RL, RLWC2021 consultant( now ended his term) Assistant producer for Sky Sports.
Another one we let go.
Whether you liked him or not the coverage we had during the 2019 season was not an accident clearly as since his departure we have had radio silence.
