Sack Peter Reid, BBC Urged

Last updated : 17 March 2005 By Covsupport
The BBC have been urged to sack Peter Reid as a summariser and panelist.

The former England international has been working for the BBC for a number of years, but his time at Highfield Road which left the Sky Blues on a collision course with League One before his decision to quit has left many feeling that Reid is out of touch with the game.

It is also felt that if that was Peter Reid using his football knowledge to take a team to 21st place in the Championship, then how can anyone believe anything he says?

Peter Reid angered many City fans when the Scouser spent the first month of his employment at Coventry City on a jolly in Portugal as part of the BBC's coverage at the European Championship.

A boycott of any programme featuring Reid has already been mounted and the BBC are urged to off-load Reid before the problem escalates.
