....still only 2-1 to be in the top 4 at the end of the season.

That's because so many of the gormless clowns bet an absolute fortune on themselves which brings the price down.

Yes. However within his role he is gong to have to deal with people who have opposing views to him. Getting as riled as he did at a few muppets singing "sacked in the morning" hardly demonstrates those skills.

In the end that is a judgement call for his employer. You or I may disagree with his employers judgement. However to make out this is to do with political correctness or an imaginary baying mob "outing" him is nonsense. He outed himself by going on camera acting like a knob.

In the position he is in that is career suicide as has been found for him. Legal firms expect their people to be a bit better than football banter goons. The real world is not The Football factory.

Firstly nobody has used this 'political correctness gone mad term' and I'm sure everyone who's had the misfortune to watch The Football factory would hardly link the two as the same.

But what you're claiming is there's no connection between a fervent sustained attack on social media and this fellas sacking. How have his employers and fellow partners discovered this moral outrage he's committed? This slur he's brought upon their company? This situation that they're now so appalled by that they've had to sack him? Could it be through people's complaints to them directly? even though in that interview not once did he mention who he was or where he worked?

It's funny you said you know the industry, it's workings and the morals a company like this will likely expect. But from a personal perspective it's not what I've seen. For instance I know a leading barrister in London who's a partner of a top firm who's just been waiting for his position on the bench to turn up. He's neck deep in VAT avoidance in the middle of one paternity scandal and fighting another case for child maintenance after years of falsifying earnings. What have the companies partners done knowing this?..Shipped him off to Bermuda for a few years till the [Poor language removed] dies down.

I'm sure you know why he's gone to Bermuda given your background but I'm surprised you haven't come across such low morals and underhand tactics in the profession, it's rife and its never been an industry built on morals simply one built on a better or worse understanding of the law.

WOW, just WOW.

I'm not sure I've ever said I know the industry inside out? I would agree entirely on our summation of the legal profession. The difference is I suppose, that the leading barrister hasn't gone all over TV and started shouting his mouth off about it. Utter stupidity from him.

In answer to your question, of course there will be some connection between the twitter storm and this. It does beg the question why he went on twitter and further exacerbated the situation really? Is twitter filled with idiots? Absolutely. I am amazed at his level he was resorting down to using twitter in all honesty.

I have no idea if they sacked him because of complaints. My own feelings are one of his bosses has watched that, seen him out of control and thought he's a liability that needs to go. I would also hazard a guess that there is some inside manoeuvrings in all of this. The idea that companies such as his sack people over a twitter storm is nonsense.

You obviously feel people complaining have played a key role. I don't really agree but I can see the argument. In the end though when do people have to take some responsibility for their actions? Everyone knows the internet is full of morons. Why if you are in a position of authority would you give them a chance to get rid of you?

There is no "send him to Bermuda" angle on this. Because he did a public video. He then continued with that line of attack on twitter on a twitter profile with his name and face. He also has a blog with the same stuff. It's utter stupidity on his part.

All it takes is one person out of the whole of the internet to send that to his boss and it puts him under pressure and gives them a decision to make. As you've said above they are unlikely to be reasonable well meaning individuals. Sure you can blame the bloke who snitched on him. But if he's honest with himself, he only has himself to blame.
