What a surprise to hear that Jermaine Jenas has been sacked from the BBC. Alleged inappropriate
behaviour see’s him off.

Sending inappropriate messages to a work colleague?

The lad needs to get a gig at Red Bull Oracle F1 Team, he’d fit right in!

If only he was a nonce he’d still be getting paid.

Apparently as the news broke he was presenting on TalkSport and discussing Eric Ten Hag’s chances of being sacked before Christmas.

You couldn’t make it up.

Not even a yellow & straight to a red card.

Lineker’s going to be upset as apparently Jenas was going to be his “natural successor”.

Anyone know what he did?

I was talking about this with the missus. I think it puts the Beeb is a VERY difficult position.

Whatever he did, unless it was illegal, is private between him and the Beeb. If the Beeb spill the beans and he successfully sues, they will be liable for his losses. If they don't spill the beans, they could be held partially responsible for any future (or ongoing) transgressions that they could have warned about.

A very difficult situation for an ex-employer.

Apparently it was a dick pic sent to Esther Rantzen likening it to an unusually shaped carrot!

Depends, in his contract there could be expected behaviour clauses. Same with any job.

There will be no problem with the termination of the contract. The problem that I see is that the BBC cannot disclose the reasons to anyone without the fear of being sued.

I dont know what he did but the empty chair he sat on would provide more insightful analysis. Who will they bring in to replace him?

Probably predicted Spurs to win a trophy this season, if that isn't a sackable offence, I don't know what is.

Well he didn't flinch on TalkSport (and they didn't report it)

Easy mistake
TIL that “Jermaine” is a he, and “Alex” is a she confused
