From what IL said, it sounds like he has gone for more money than we could give him.
IMO he has done a fantastic job for us, and I thank him for that, but I'm disapointed he has left the job half finished. We still have things too correct on and off the field imo.

However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

| 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!

| 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.

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.

12806.jpg [quote="dontknowwhyibother"] What do I think to the RL people who continually downplay everything in RL, and influence the stupid sheep to think like them? I think they are one of the reasons that RL will always be a minor sport.[/quote]:12806.jpg |

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

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.
