McCririck

[Snoopdog]

See this morning's papers. Firstly, I've always appreciated the outspoken opinions of JM. Sure, some things he says are out of line, but he's generally on our side. He seemed to become increasingly borish towards the end, eg saying Sam Waley Cohens Long Run should have a "proper jockey" on board. Even dear Tanya seemed to get tired of him calling Nick Luck Lord Snooty. But this £3M payout he wants for "age discrimination" is ridiculous. He says he fighting fore every sacked oldie. TV presenters are generally on a contract, ie not company employees - so at any time the bosses can say: "We are not renewing your contract; or we'll pay you to the end of your contract; go now". Is he really doing this for the money, or to prove a point, or some kind of personal vanity ? I don't think age has anything to do with his removal from Ch4. I don't hear about Francome or Lesley Graham complaing. By the way, after a nervous start, I think Graham is doing a good job.

Re: McCririck absolute madness isn't it personally being the age he was, he was lucky to be in a paid job, he probably hasn't got a pension so now ****ting a brick !! he does things for effect and its just a waste of money of you ask me. If he has a contract, then surely he can produce it and will win. I doubt he has.
