What utter rubbish!

1. Biting inncident happened on 21 April 2013

2. He was banned for 10 games.

3. He then played for Liverpool until the end of the next season.

4. Sold to Barcelona in August 2014 (which is not being sacked).

So that will be 16 months after he carried out his biting incident.


Yes he faced dire and instant action didn't he!
Actually he got a new contract and a pay rise
Between 1 and 4? Yes.

After the first biting incident with Chelsea's player he got a huge rise and a new contract believed to be £200k per week.

Well it looks like an alternative TV station has got a great deal.

Silly old BBC. Badly handled as usual and it will cost them millions now.

Crikey, you really are upset about losing TG, aren't you? smile

The fact that you defend Clarkson shows that you're part of the problem. As are the people here saying violence in showbusiness (or football for that matter) is OK, and those knuckle-draggers who tweet insults and death threats to women TV presenters.

It's not a matter of it being OK to behave like that, it's a practical matter of some people being more easily replaceable than others.

Hardly surprising, four key individuals create winning formula. BBC disrupts formula by creating public hoo ha instead of dealing with the matter quietly and efficiently.

Four key indivviduals paddle own canoe to create same winning formula sailing on a different ship. BBC lose, new ship sails onward.

Cannot help but wonder what other originals from the TG crew will be jumping ship and sailing away.

With Clarkson/May/Wilman and I suppose Hammond out/not renewing their TG contract, then IF they go and do something else I can only imagine the rest of the crew joining them why wouldn't they?

I've said before that I think that he will go and join them.

As it is, he is stuck at the BBC. I doubt anybody else would employ the man who killed off Top Gear.

Should he make the move, his career will be back on track again.

I actually have quite a lot of sympathy for OT. Whoever it was from the Beeb (and it seems it may well be Danny Cohen) who released his name etc regarding the incident, should be nailed to a post. bd.

The others are freelance where he is (probably) staff. Thats the difference.

I am really curious about the "superior hitting / slapping a subordinate" remark though. So by those rules this all applies only when it is? Two employees of equal rank can beat the hell out of each other?
Err, no. I didn't say that. But the whole context of this 300 pages is superior (JC) hitting a junior. Obviously anyone hitting anyone is (mostly) wrong

I really hope he does it will further endorse the feeling that the BBC is useless.

OK, just wondered.
