Mr Jenkins 0 Posted January 23, 2015 So the clearout continues. Perhaps if they get shot of their footy editors as well they might eventually produce a decent product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted January 23, 2015 Jeez, at that rate most of us would only need to work for less than 6 months to be pretty-much set for life! And all for just watching footy..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs miggins 0 Posted January 23, 2015 nah, he''s not controversial enough. They like people like stan collymore who''s a wife beater and and gray who''s a sexist. Charles is just just a boring cushion faced sod.....but £4.5m a year, he''s no mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

im spartacus canary 0 Posted January 23, 2015 i like him, think he is a decent presenter was good on MOTD 2 as well... It''s become fashionable to knock the bloke but i think he handled difficult people like roy keane well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,830 Posted January 24, 2015 His only attribute all along has been his slightly quirky character. Everything after the "Working Lunch" TV programme was based around that character and he just doesn''t have much substance behind it to back him up. Likeable and a little abrasive he was good - but once that abrasiveness got smoothed out, there was nothing left but an irritating voice and slightly desperate manner.

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted January 24, 2015 He does the 10 till 1 slot on Mondays and Tuesdays. I''m actually with the sole poster who defended him about him . Liked him on MOTD2 and the format worked with him presenting, and he is a decent presenter on radio who doesn''t shirk away from difficult and important questions.Yes I hated ITV sport but that was about and is about the way they broadcast football, not Chiles presenting skills.He''s an easy target when actually there''s a lot worse out there. Richard keys (thank god he''s only on talkshite now), Matt smith, David Jones, ed chamberlain....(even Simon Thomas).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 2,019 Posted January 24, 2015 Maybe the radio is the medium that most suits him then.I remember watching the England friendly last year that was interrupted by a storm, Chiles and the analysts-Wrigthy, Hoddle and Dixon-had to leave the studio and were broadcasting from a tunnel somewhere. Without an autocue he was hopeless, so hesitant, repetitive, had no idea what to say, it was just the most cringeworthy presenting I think I have ever seen.Although to be fair I''m not sure whether any presenters would have been any better in the same position without an autocue.
