    They could have summed it up in one line:

    'We're too stubborn for our own good, we will now try and save face despite losing the corporation a huge sum of money.'

    Why has the subject header been changed? He wasnt sacked, they're not renewing his contract.

    edit - better.

    Or, like they did quite rightly say, (paraphrase) 'some things are more important than money'.

    I do wonder how some of you would feel if a member of your family was punched in the face at work for doing his job? If you're in sales and it was your best person I'm sure a shrug and a "well he makes us money" would follow.

    Its a funny and somewhat ironic time for the corporation to develop a sense of morality.

    To be honest I'm somewhat biased, I've never forgiven them for not giving Alan his second series.

    A Sky move is seemingly inevitable for Clarkson. Just might be a little longer than expected not too long ago.

    So what would we call a new Sky series? Serious and amusing titles welcome....

    Gear Shift?
    Sixth Gear?
    Twats In Denim?

    "I want to make three points
    First – The BBC is a broad church"

    Well that's a lie to start with. Broadchurch was on ITV.

    I think Mike Brewer would be decent replacement for Clarkson.

    I've watched quite a lot of Wheeler Dealers on Discovery.

    that's a very black and white summation. you are suggesting there was no workable compromise that would have suited all parties.

    Why should they be any compromise when he verbally abused and physically assaulted someone?
