    All about opinions but I think he's a terrible presenter and that salary is an absolute joke. The amount of times he asks a question then looks away as if checking autocue and not paying attention to the answer. And don't get me started on the time they tried him presenting the Open, his interview of Jack Nicklaus was embarrassing.

    I'm sure he'll survive with his BT Sport and Walkers crisps money.
    Well said. Dont get me started about BBC salaries. Cant stand Linekar.

    You pay pennies a day for everything available on the BBC and yet some would rather do away with it so we can watch adverts every ten minutes. It is still by far the best value for money out there. Be careful what you wish for.

    'Leaving BBC earlier than expected'. A polite way of saying they sacked him.

    He'll walk into a job at SKY or TNT whatever. Don't mind him to be honest, no doubt his inability to keep himself from publicly commenting on what he sees as social injustice didn't help him, and in the current lurch to the right in England that doesn't go down well with the overwhelmingly right wing printed press and the right wing politicians who have influence over BBC funding. Including a current Labour government who seem so terrified of losing voters to the right wing they attempt to appease rather than fight them.

    He was already stepping away from most of his BBC work at the end of the week to dedicate more time to his booming podcast business. The shows he produces seem to be dominating the podcast charts for a range of different interests/topics.

    It's farcical that he has been pushed out early.

    Many folk were just out to get him and look for anything they can blow up.
