Ian Cheeseman (and his VLOGs)

[Danny Hoekman]

I'm sure I saw him walking along the Promenade des Anglais yesterday morning

You did.

 

[meeesh]

Seems as though he's well enough to follow City all over here and Europe then,must have been given the boot

He was walking with a significant limp though.

Hence the limp if he's been given the boot :)

You would think Gmr would give the odd update on how he was doing, but , not heard one yet.

 

[East Level 2]

He was also spotted at Boro last week.
Is it a genuine illness or a problem between him and the BBC, either locally or nationally?
If it's locally then the BBC need to be aware that he's very popular as the City reporter and none of the other stooges ie Wagg, are a patch on Ian.

Just speculation on my part, nothing more. If he's leaving the BBC it may well be he's on "gardening leave" which could be up to 6 months and he's not allowed to say anything I'm sure all will come to light eventually, could he be waiting to join the City media team?

The BBC have a fairly substantial confidentiality clause. I think even ex employees may also be covered by it for a period of up to 5 years after signing the agreement, so even if Cheesy has had his contract terminated, he still may be subject to a gagging clause.

When listening to blue Tuesday Wagg always says he's sitting in for cheesie,so maybe he ain't fully recovered.

I'm sure that he was going in the toilets on CBL3 today

that will only be not say why he was sacked and the BBC will cover there backs with a confidentiality clause knowing others in the media would like to have him work for them city tv will be his next stop why would you not want him he is a true blue but also fair

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

On the OS match feed from BBC Radio Manchester during the game today Jack Dearden said he was "standing in for Ian Cheesman".

That is the first time for about 8 weeks that he's even had a mention on match day.

Suffering from stress according to the Mail

Snidey **** Charlie Sale "outing" Cheeseman in his column today for being pictured with City fans in Monaco last week.

What a turd this man is.

I suspect the BBC have probably leaked that for their own purposes.

 

[Manc in London]

Sounds like negotiations for a pay-off. I would have thought this would include an NDA.

Haven't the BBC got plans to get rid of local sports coverage?

Sale's a muck-raker of the worst kind. Refused to deal with him when he was after a story. More likely he got it from here rather than the BBC though.

I suspect this is at the core of the problem. I'm guessing they want rid of Cheesy to end local coverage of games & reduce costs but don't want to pay him off properly so are looking for an excuse to sack him. so he got in a pre-emptive strike. Also gives him time to sort something else out while being paid by the BBC. Best of luck to him.

BBC radio Manchester is going downhill fast anyway

 

[zandvoort blue]

So the BBC want to get rid of local sports reporting as cost cutting exercise. Then why in the same breath do they send up a national reporter from London to stand outside a chippy in Rochdale covering kiddyfiddling when local BBC news have a reporter there for local news?

And there would have been someone from BBC TV, Radio 4, Radio 2 etc. Only needs one person. And they'll send a fucking army to cover Glastonbury.
