I'm no great fan of Carl Chinn, but having said that I think are more reasons behind his sacking than the reason given. It's laughable to say it's about the money he is being paid as has been suggested. To be quite honest I would have thought he was on a lot more than the amount suggested. I don't suppose we will ever know the real reason, but somewhere behind it all I think it will be mixed up in the BBC's obvious horror of all things Birmingham, well that's my opinion anyway.

But that's the point we don't even come second. As the second city which they say even that is disputed if we came second after London then it wouldn't be so bad, but as far as anything goes most people don't even know we exist.

If anybody does a survey, it's London, Cardiff. Manchester, Edinburgh, Brum never gets a mention. If TV does street interviews for public opinions it's never in Birmingham. You never even see Brum on the weather map unless there is a flood or a hurricane expected.

Mind you back to Carl Chinn, perhaps he will drop that dreadful affected black country accent now.

I know he has many fans and I wish him all the best for the future.
I am not a huge fan but I don't understand why they have taken off someone who was popular.

im so pleased for carl....all my children went to perry beeches school which has made a massive turn round for the better in recent years...great news that he will now be reaching out to the younger generation..i wish him well
