I think the announcement could have been improved, if you consider the following:
“Scunthrope United can confirm” – implies the Club is being reactive rather than having a joint statement prepared. This decision deserved a prepared announcement.
“had his Contract with the club terminated” – is that what happens for breaking rules or not meeting standards etc. However “the door is always open for him to visit” to that didnt happen. So did it really need to be stated that his contract was terminated. I think you can part ways due to a reorganisation and infer, or state, that in a more respectful way.
“The 57 year old” – Is it really appropriate to include his age? Did the Club detail Matt Roberts’s age when announcing him as the new CEO. While both men’s ages can be found on the internet but it just isn’t a factor that should have been inlcuded on an announcement.
While it’s good that the announcment recognises the critical roles he played, I do think a bit more thought and empathy should have been shown in the preperation of this announcement.
