Quote Bully_Boxer="Bully_Boxer"I read on twitter a retraction and apology from him regarding something he had posted but I didn't see what was put up. I can't honestly believe the guy has got into bother for the above, the way he apologised I assumed it must have been something offensive.
I suspect there is more to it but its not really any of our business I suppose. He did seem a nice chap though and probably the friendliest welcome I've had in the club shop for some time.'"
I think it was the day the player's authentic shirts came in. He put up a photo to show what the lettering looked like on printed versions of them. Unfortunately he chose someone who had "We 8 Rhinos" (or something like that anyway) printed on theirs as the example. It was an error in judgement, but certainly nothing as bad as a lot of people made out. The Leeds club then tweeted something along the lines of it being poor form, and other clubs wouldn't do it, perhaps the shirt printing policy needs looking into. (again, can't remember the exact wording). He then realised it was a mistake to put it up, deleted it, apologised and did the usual "it wasn't the view of the club, not even my view, didn't think about it properly, sorry" kind of thing. Acknowledged the error and apologised, which is all it needed. A few Rhino fans on Twitter went into some kind of meltdown like his tweet was on a par with global war crimes. The usual massive overreaction. (Thankfully other more sensible Leeds tweeters, along with other clubs' fans, ridiculed them for going so crazy about it).
He's tweeted today saying he's no longer in the job. From his tweets, it appears that incident is the reason that's been given for him being let go, even though he appears to think it's an excuse and there were other motives. That last paragraph of mine is just an impression picked up on myself by his tweets though, and nothing he's actually said outright (so just my interpretation of what he's said).
