Blues press release.

Gavin Henson dismissed with immediate effect
For Immediate release: Monday 2nd April 2012
Issued on behalf of Cardiff Blues
Following a management meeting on Monday morning Cardiff Blues can confirm that Gavin Henson has been dismissed with immediate effect

Speaking of the decision Cardiff Blues CEO Richard Holland said,

“The Cardiff Blues management have discussed the matter at length but have acted swiftly since the incident occurred on Saturday morning.”

“Gavin admitted himself that his behaviour was totally unacceptable and the immediate termination of his contract sends out a clear message that behaviour like that will not be tolerated at the Blues.”

“We have a duty to our supporters and sponsors to protect the good name of Cardiff Blues and those associated with our brand.”

“Gavin Henson is obviously a talented rugby player and it’s unfortunate that his career at the Blues has ended this way.”

“However, we would like to thank him for his service and wish him the best of luck with his future career.”

Cardiff Blues have no further comment to make on the matter and will not be accepting interview requests regarding the matter

When will this guy grow up, who is going to employ such an idiot after this. I suspect not many will be happy to fly on a plane when this moron is on the same plane. I doubt he has a future in Welsh rugby, maybe try Japan.

I think theyre making a big fuss over this just to distract people away from the the fact the Blues are in serious trouble.

@LeCase23: @PeteBorlasey exactly...it wasn't bad at all. Been blown out of proportion. Club are just amateurs dealing with things

Casey Laulala tweet.

This was just an easy get out for the Blues who probs just didn't want to offer him a new contract.

And aren't the Blues' accounts due to be released this week? (a whole month late?)

This would serve as a nice cover up for it, or am I just being overly cynical?

No. He's given them an out, they've grabbed it.

Gavin admitted himself that his behaviour was totally unacceptable and the immediate termination of his contract sends out a clear message that behaviour like that will not be tolerated at the Blues"

Should have terminated Sweeney and James' contracts with immediate effect first then shouldn't they.

I'm sorry, but how the Blues have handled this, it absolutely stinks.

Wow that is a huge statement from laulala. I do agree but it doe give creedence to the idea that its an excuse top get rid of him

Blues shouldn't need any other excuse to get rid of him. He was (literally) drinking in last chance saloon anyway.

How anyone can blame the Blues for sacking him beggars belief. Blame them for taking him on in the first place instead!

im getting pretty fed up with the blues. move to that schitty effing schtadium, giving dai yawn a decade to prove he couldnt win anything, smashing the confidence of snk, and now shafting henson- we all knew he was in the last chance saloon and he needed a club to help him, not lead him on a merry dance around the 10 chanel and then hang him out to dry.

ive supported cardiff since god knows when. im finding it very hard to stick with the blues after a couple of seasons of this shambolic sh1t

Agreed and speaks volumes.
Laulala next up for a sacking?

wonder would laulala have said that if he was sticking around next season

Probably not, but he could have opted not to make that comment.
The fact that he chose to have a dig at the club does says enough for me.
