Changing of the guard at DJR?

storyline · 27 Jan 2006, 00:10 (Ref:1509788)

Unsubstantiated reports, at this stage anyway, that DJR has 'relieved' Daniel Orr of his duties making him a free agent.

Whilst it appears some see this as a loss to DJR there are others that see this as the removal of the cause of so many other recent departures from the team.

Arguably DJR haven't performed well over the recent season - is this to be a turning point for them?

Pack for being slack woo hoo
Time to get a move on woo hoo
Shoulda happened sooner woo hoo

Tony Mee is also persona non grata, apparently.

So when are they gettin' rid of lardoboy?

Difficult to say about Tony - DJR have retained Media & Communications Services as their PR company - you would have thought if they had a problem with Tony that would be a problem with MCS - all they have done is switched Tony for Vicki Heath.

A number of other teams are also changing PR/media personnel but staying with the same overall company (BAM media etc) so I would see this one as a 'problem'.

The final question on Tony would be - is he still with MCS or has he moved on (which would explain Vicki taking over). Vicki doesn't even rate a mention on the MCS web site.

Didnt Dicky's last PR genius that ended up in Formula Fraud also get punted for having a harderfaster time than he should have?

BAM is on the outer at SBR, doesnt have the Stegbar deal.. only has Caltex, Bossh and ol' Russhole to look after.. plus Larkhams (or Tony's) and Pretenders Can Run and WooPS I did it again..

Never any new blood over at the AVESCO Temple!

People are always on the move - Tony has been the DJR account manager for at least the past 2 years - before that (can't recall the name) but was same one for 2-3 years.

But like everything else - these things go around in cycles (besides costing a bomb..)

David Harding was there before Tony.
So the big question now is, who has Chalks got up his sleeve to fill Dean's place?

Jenny Thompson ex Cams is now SBR's media manager. Heard on the grapevine that Tim Robson has moved. Tony Manson ex Avesco is at CC, Dale Britton BJR moved, It's all a happening!

When did Jenny Thompson move? She was issuing CAS media releases as recently as 4:30 pm last Friday (the usual CAMS 'after hours release'). Chris Terpos is also issuing them, but he has been all year (despite concerns about him using the email address Christ!)

Spunky · 27 Jan 2006, 03:50 (Ref:1509864)

That was probably the last one you will get from her then.

Dale Brittain is still at old bugga racing, just collecting the sponsor cheques now instead of making stuff up every weekend

Grimace · 27 Jan 2006, 04:14 (Ref:1509874)

Is it Dean Orr or Daniel? confused ? who is the person?

Vanilla Dice · 27 Jan 2006, 04:17 (Ref:1509878)

Dean is the boss, or ex-Boss

Daniel is a driver...

Apologies - - should have been Dean - my mistake in retyping something I listened to on the phone.
