"sacked"

Clearly under a contract he was simply released from.

It's very easy to do that unlike somebody who is a full time employee where it can be dragged out for months.

Most of these presenters are contractors, which should be clear in the case here where he was working for a effective competitor live when the story broke :lolol:

That alone would usually be enough to get rid of someone.

Because the BBC publish his income band, I assumed that meant he’s on the payroll.

The BBC don’t reveal the amount paid to contractors.


Edit. His £195k pay was directly with the BBC for football. A separate undisclosed contract as an employee of The One Show production company.

Complicated isn't it.

The "production company" is actually a BBC commercial subsidiary.

And whilst the BBC publish his income band as paid full time employee, he was working for a competitor when the story broke.

We have no idea what is in these contracts. It does from the outside look like "two salaries" and jobs for the boys, but the reality is well paid but potentially gone tomorrow.

To stop being the next one sacked, it helps these days to maintain a faultless online presence and not to ‘chase anything that moves’. The latter is tricky for many males! In the moment, unable to remember that a lucrative career is at stake.

In any other era, blokes in power/fame got away with it or far, far worse. Accusers gaslit, ousted.

Progress!

I'm surprised at the lack of consistency

Huw Edwards treated with kid gloves (no pun intended), Jenas they came down like a ton of bricks

Racists

Interesting point of view.

I assumed they had simply learned from the mistakes they made with Edwards, but perhaps you are right :shrug:

I always text someone before I send a text to ensure the text they are about to receive is solicited. Issue is I have to send a text before that first text to make sure they are happy to receive that one. Then the issue is before that one....



Anyway, his wife is LOVELY

Something doesn't sit right with me on this. I hope the BBC have got their ducks in line because they're about to get a lot of stick for sacking a much loved BAME presenter.

I’m with you on this old boy, if it was that cut and dried Talk Sport would have dropped him like a stone, not had him presenting one of the most traditionally listened to shows ( when we are all going home, hence drive time) within minutes/hours of his sacking breaking in the news, and it’s not happened overnight with the apparent due process by the Beeb yet TNT had him commentating on the opening game of the EPL🤷‍♂️

Even after he’d gone off air, the TS news bulletins were stilll leading with his soundbite about there being two sides of the story and him consulting solicitors.

Surely if he was that ‘banged too rights’, brief statement and then slink away.
