Heard a rumour this morning and just checked the list of directors / staff on the Centurions website.
Dan Carty's name has been removed.

Hmm, only lasted 3 weeks (if true). Even Brown had more time to settle in.

It's like the courts of King Henry VIII and Queen Victoria - off with their heads!

Be interesting to see how this one gets explained away.

"Sorry Dan, we've splashed out so much cash for FFMM that, as an efficiency measure, he will now be doing duty as our programme editor, commercial director and half-time draw co-ordinator as well as working 70 hours a week installing (AB) sundecks. If he has time, he might also play prop. You're fired!"

Oh dear. Another one that will just get brushed under the carpet.

If true won't be the first and won't be the last person in life to start a job and it doesn't work out for what ever reason?

The snipers above have you only ever had one job and never left one?

Er..not after three weeks, no! It's not as though he was doing a paper round...

I suspect he couldn't face writing the thirty-third press release on how someones next door neighbour's uncle's dog has just bought a car from Evans Halshaw. I know I can't even face reading them



It does seem to follow the recent modus operandum - hastily remove names from official documents and then at some point get around to making a statement about what is purported to have transpired - a bit bizarre if you ask me, which of course you don't

OMG some of our supporters never cease to amaze me with there irrationality when nothing as been confirmed or denied

It seems you're not quite up to speed on what a Sponsorship Partnership entails ML. Companies aren't just going to throw X amount of money at a club and expect no coverage once the cheque has been cashed.

Dear me if you do the research, this is highly likely to happen even more in more high profile jobs.

Are you really a fan who bemoans press releases?

I am sure if this has happened then the communication would need to be agreed before release, also Dan has been here a lot longer than 3 weeks.

No, I get it. I just don't want to read it. There's only so many times you can read the same formula without getting a bit sick of it.

Sorry TS, didn't realise you were an HR Professional, I will bow to your superior knowledge and research.

Perhaps he has been doing such a good job he has been headhunted by Bradford. Or perhaps he has qualified to be on the next mission to Mars. Perhaps we will never know.

I don't bemoan press releases. I bemoan adverts dressed up thinly as a press release. Still, at least we won't have to endure a press release showing him handing the keys back to his virtually brand new Evans Halshaw vehicle

breaking news: one of our programme sellers has quit, heard a rumour he had an argument with the 'tea lady'. How will we cope ?

It was officially announced on 17th Nov on this forum that Leigh Centurions are pleased to inform us of a shake up in the BOM and that Dan Carty was being put onto the new board, so not even 3 weeks really.

He started working for the club before that date, 9th October rings a bell

Thanks your quite alright.

Nobody at our club has been headhunted by Bradford.

Nobody forces you to read press releases. Ask Andy to take you off the mailing list. Just maybe it's about promoting the brand that's pumping cash into the club?

Out of interest which other business you know gives out a press release every time someone leaves?

Very Sad if true, a very nice man well respected by all who know him especially at Leigh Cricket club.

A well spoken honest professional guy of integrity who does nothing but good things for charity and the local community in his spare time and is very expierienced in sales and marketing.

All the best Dan.

Andy Mazey.

YAWN .... let's have another bash the board thread. It really does get tiresome.

What relevance is Brown to this?

Would you pick Brown over Kay and Higson?

It is true. Dan Carty has left the club at the end of his probationary period by ' Mutual Consent'.

Welcome to the world of business. I spent a long time in it.

Lets move on. Exciting times ahead.

We agree Harold

As you rightly say Harold business can throw up these kind of things from time to time, however the minimum probationary period you would expect at Director level would be a minimum of three months surely?

Having only announced a new board structure which Dan was part of only three weeks or so ago I find this one very odd but don't know anything about it and haven't spoken to Dan himself or anyone at the club so wont speculate any further.

All I would say is in a commercially very critical week and on the eve of the clubs sponsers evening and such a crucial event it would seem a strange time to end the commercial directors probationary period if this indeed is what has happened as you seem to believe.

Charlie knows

.

The relevance is that Brown also came in with a big build up and very quietly let go very quickly, but even he was given more time to settle in than Dan.
As for picking Brown over Kay and Higson then no I wouldn't but he was deemed good enough to bring onboard as was Dan Carty.

Hope that helps.

And???
