Yeah - I spotted the Graham Oliver reference, too!
Perhaps, he was sacked but was involved in the recruitment of his replacement. It's happened before, but I do find it difficult to believe.
I would have thought that Biff would be calling the shots, so it may be a mistake by the interviewer.
Valanx - yeah, there really does seem to be a very formal, brisk manner when a discussion of Graham Oliver's departure comes into the conversation. Nigel Glockler - a bloke so obviously nice and polite - even states simply 'He was sacked' end of discussion let's move on.
Wish there were more interviews with the saxon lads to read, however!
