I'm in danger of wetting myself..This is what some of us have been screaming for for a couple of decades.

Sky as a business will be better off without him, and the wider British broadcast media will be better off without his constant whinging about our system of regulation and licencing.
Yes l agree with you that he should have never been in the Sky boardroom as l have always thought of him as daddys boy but with none of the clever instincts of his father who l despise but has had a inmense influence and is very clever and shrewd and yes James made a right mess up in the Sky basics and maybe once they have got rid of him negotiations will be easier with other companies regarding carriage agreements.
