In all the years that TalkShite has been going, how many of their regular presenters have ever had a job as a manager? I can only think of Worncock. The only other person who could qualify as 'upper crust' would be ex-Palace owner Simon Jordan, and that was hardly a roaring success.
The station is operated by a class of incompetents whose opinions are of no more relevance than any Joe Bloggs who sits in front of a TV and gets his opinions passed on to him by the TV commentator. Even I could do that.
