been a long time process and my salary has gradually come down. but, no, obviously i was in a fortuitous position. i was sought after by numerous channels over the years. and football is global, it's big business, it does the biggest numbers on television, more than anything else we've seen on the euros again this summer. so, and there's a lot of competition and bbc had to fight... i hate talking about this for myself because obviously i realise how fortuitous i am, but bbc wanted me to have... football on television and i'm very grateful for that. and as we get this plurality of output from the footballing world, notjust in terms of punditry but where we can see the games committee, you think there's a risk we are asking too much of fans?
