Bad news, that guy has imporved the clubs off field activities and done a fantastic job. Disappointed to see him go...

Absolutely gutted.

Mick was a great guy, who was extremely helpful and always had time to deal directly with any issues (I've had more than one phone call from the man himself in answer to fairly minor issues).

He seemed to be at the heart of the great steps we have taken on the commercial side and I'm now a little worried that we could start to slip backward on that side.

I hope that we can get somebody with the same ethos, but I suspect that whoever comes in will never be as accessible as Mick was.

Good luck with your career Mick, but it really is a shame that you couldn't stick around for longer.

Huge blow as he has done such a great job

IL doesn't sound very impressed at all!

Maybe he wanted a job in which he will get less moidering from the fans!

Good luck to Mick.

Big loss for the club.

Don't blame him for moving for financial reasons as most of us would to the same.

It's just a shame he isn't going to stay to see through the projects and ideas he has set up.

The money must big huge for him to ditch the club half way through the season.

got told this at the huddersfield game - gutted as he has done so much to bring our club forward as a commercial aspect and was also very friendly.

He's jumped jobs a few times looking at his career record. Simon Collinson is the bloke that drives the club commercially, let's hope he stays.

Lenagan's comment is a bit bitchy, don't you think?

That's what I thought as well to be honest.

Yeah, I can understand his fustration considering all these projects Hogan has setup yet isn't going to bother following them through because of the fact he's been offered big bucks elsewhere.

On the other hand, I don't blame Hogan for chasing the ££££ as I'd do the same.

That's business I suppose.

Where's he gone to?

He's done exactly what Lydon did in returning to RU for big money yet Lydon got blasted whereas Mick gets good wishes.....

I heard it was Sale RU.

I just hope he doesn't take any of the back room staff with him i.e. Simon Collinson.

Course it is. I've been extremely pi55ed off in the past when people I thought to be key staff members have beggered off, but really, what can you do? If someone wants to go, why try and keep them here if it's not where they want to be?

Equally, though, you shouldn't bitch to other staff members, or customers, about their decision. I'm sure Lenegan hasn't become the businessman he is today without having to take a few things on the chin in his time.

I'm also sure that there will be a good few, equally good, people ready and willing to take on the CEO job. I'd be in there like a shot if I had sports club experience.
