While Roger Hutton made a few pertinent points – not least that the Colin Graves trustees effectively prevented him from sacking the club’s director of cricket, head of HR and chief executive – he also demonstrated why he was not the man to force through change at the club. He was, in short, too weak.
Still, he did make the point that if Yorkshire were to be rid of Graves – and his 4.85% interest repayment rate – for once and all, they could refinance their debt to his trusts (now around £15m) with a bank. It should be a priority of the new management.
Make no mistake, either, when considering how much Azeem has suffered during this process. He is exhausted. He has felt excluded. He is grieving both a lost child and a lost career. He received his latest death threat – a guy coming into his fish and chip shop (which he joint owns with Adil Rashid) and threatening to detonate a bomb – as recently as Friday. It’s unfortunate, then, that the DCMS briefly published his home address at the top of his statement following the hearing.

Whichever way the BBC go on this would cause dissent from a lot of people.
MPV isn't sounding like someone who won't re-evaluate his past conduct and opinions, so that's a good thing. Much as I now find him annoying, I hope he finds a way back.
Seems he's working for an Aussie broadcaster this winter.
