I can see why people may feel he was stitched up, especially if people think his behaviour was just "a bit of banter" - I am not saying you do BTW.

Personally, I do not think he was. His behaviour was reprehensible and there is no need for it in any professional business. Sadly, it does happen in all walks of life, but I would be livid if a girlfriend of mine ever came back form work and informed me of such behaviour.

Just because he worked in football punditry at Sky, it did not allow him to act like a fan on the terraces (i.e. giving out "a bit of banter" to any female in sight) or to treat professional and hard working females in such a degrading way.

His behaviour was wrong, and was justly punished in my eyes. If anything, he should be grateful he kept his job over such a long period of time.

I will hope he has learned from his previous behaviour, but I would suspect he will not.
