Well, he has gone.

A little more research and context needed on this thread I think.

That remains to be seen. I hope he sticks to his guns in which case it might be.For starters, it's not a permanent thing.
That's surpr ising. I know nothing of football but he was the nation's favourite for years.

Context...ok here is my 2¢....I am a historian and Jewish:
Where do you want to start with GL...I agree with him....I doubt you want a history lesson...but his comments were about the 1930s...time of the Nuremberg Race Laws that took away the citizenship...ie human rights of Jews in Germany....They used the legal system to make life difficult from a group not unlike what the Tories are doing ...He never mentioned the Holocaust....which began in June 1941 with the invasion of the Soviet Union...GL never said the Tories are killing people ...I hope he quits the BBC....The Tories are hypocrites...they can say what they like ..freedom of speech but if GL does the same ..it is unpatriotic or disrespectful to the Holocaust and its victims....He never mentioned it...never alluded to it....I am Jewish...lost family in the Holocaust...I am not offended! The BBC have capitulated to the Right Wing Tory culture warriors....and they doing to David Attenborough's upcoming series on the British Isles and the increasing damage to its biodiversity.
Yes, I get that. However I'm currently on holiday in Italy and it's all anyone wants to talk about. People are asking me questions about Leeds United as soon as we get past "di dove sei?" and even if I understand the Italian I don't know any of the answers. Ask the TV advertisers if they think football's irrelevant.It was the fact they paid him over a million pounds to talk about over-paid young men kicking a
ball around.
Football stopped being a sport many years ago.
Now it’s just an industry worth millions, if not billions.
