Followed them on Twitter ?

2 games to get rid of him - 2 seasons to get rid of the towel - maybe lessons are being learnt. Then again maybe not we still have a CEO to contend with

Poor guy, hope somebody can help him to get his head straight, he really was an Entertainer when he played for Saints.

Some people are gone but not forgotten.

Gus is forgotten but not gone apparently.

It would seem that the Clubs strongly worded statement is another example of people unfit for purpose at the club. The Irony of the London Broncos statement including the termhis performances "did not meet the professional levels expected'"

Drone just drone another drone excuse drone to drone attack drone the drone club drone

The club has a duty of care to its employees. Money/Wages are increasingly seen as secondary to employees seeking "good employment" whereas working conditions, benefits etc are now a key element in selecting a prospective employer. If Long had "history" and the club were "taking a chance" then I would suggest that a certain amount of research and background checks would/should have been made. As it is, if he was "late" or "didn't turn up" then most employers would at first enquire as to 'why" and try to discover the root cause and offer a pathway to sorting any problems out. The Statement from the club is curt and to the point......and as a result, the subsequent suicide bid coming to light makes them look bad, regardless of whether they actually are or not.

This is not an attack on the club, but it does point to someone not really thinking through what they were going to say or how they were going to sound.


Insightful as ever.

Not in this case.

He makes valid points and I'd like to see the club make a further statement and possibly an apology, dependent on what the facts were. Whoever put out the original one chose to remain anonymous, so responsibility for it must rest with the chief exec.

Sigh?

I feel sorry for Sean & hope he makes a full recovery. However the article linked to says 2.5 years of depression while the club employed him for 2-3 months. Surely every organisation who employed him previously should be equally to blame given the scandal implied in the post.

Ah......spread the blame around to lessen the embarrassment? Genius!
By all means let him go, but do so with your best wishes.
