THE CEO of Ladbrokes has been abruptly sent packing after less than six months — breaking the record for the shortest-serving boss of a FTSE 100 firm. Gavin Isaacs joined Ladbrokes and Coral owners Entain on September 2 last year, coming with 25 years of experience in the Vegas gambling industry. But after just 163 days, the firm announced he would be leaving “with immediate effect”. Shares in Entain tanked by 11 per cent yesterday as investors balked at the shock exit, plummeting by 82.20p to 660p.
