And why cast Chapman in the role that, if I remember correctly, was played by Gary Lineker?
"Well-written"? I disagree.
And its premise is nonsensical. It seems to suggest that the BBC, short of live football in summer, set out to make the Poyet sacking some sort of reality TV event - when in fact they couldn't have known in advance because the club statement didn't go up until the programme had been on the air for 30 minutes.
At least, that's what I THINK it's trying to say ...
What complete nonsense that article is. Poyet, the shrinking violet caught up in a media storm whilst working for £5 an hour to be able to afford some gruel for his poor starved kids. The reality is Poyet maximised his exposure to draw sympathy (with a badly played hand thrown in from the club) and earn his fully paid up membership of RADA.
Whoever wrote that is a gullible soul.

As for the BBC, I was surprised that the grilling they gave him lasted 8 minutes. It didn't make any sense - if, as the show tried to portray, his sacking had come as something of a surprise then why ask him whether he was going to appeal? Surely if you really have just found out you've been sacked after more than 5 weeks of legal wranglings your first course of action is to speak to your lawyer, not blurt out you'll be appealing.
That bit made me squirm, not only because it was putting him on the spot unnecessarily but also because it didn't help the Albion. You wonder whether his appeal was lodged partly because when put on the spot he'd told 3 million people he WAS going to appeal? You wonder whether without this BBC circus his legal team would have advised him not to appeal.

The alternative viewpoint being that you are a cynical bar steward.
