Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

I think in fairness many have engaged with you, and even those who are kind of mean to Ryan have been quite good outlining where they might see him.
I don't think you can convince people that Ryan was a great broadcaster, I may not think this, but I think it is subjective.
Do I think he could launch a podcast, I think others are right to say it would have to be something very different to what he does on Radio. It's a lot of work and he would really need to sit down now to work it out. It would be a massive long term investment.
It has kind of a bat signal look to it. Seems fun.
Tubridy being the displaced hero and all.
In the last few days the posters here haven’t exactly been “passionate” about kicking Tubridy- more just matter of fact - he did wrong he has to go kind of thing - I don’t think anyone is wishing him bad now that he’s left- I’d say even “fans” of Tubridy are probably saying, “while I don’t like that he’s gone I can understand why he had to go “-
I’d guess a lot of people in Ireland feel similar .
Bathurst implied even RT's team that worked with him were split on a return. That is saying something!
Podcast won't work for Tubs. Not interesting enough.
He has a profile, I will give him that. Could he do a series of high profile tv interviews with another broadcaster, a limited run of maybe 6 very high profile people?
Now he is a terrible interviewer and it says something that this is still the only thing I can see him doing but if he could line up top top guests and do well prepared interview, it would get an audience..... a way back possibly.
Problem with prepared interviews is they are really bad, you need to be an interviewer that can adapt to the guest - something RT cannot do
Perhaps he could introduce the guests for the Tommy Tiernan show?.......70K per guest though 😁😁😁
Yeah, but what's even more telling was Bakhurst saying that RT was taken aback (or words to that effect) when he found out that "his" team were split on the issue of his return.
After everything that has come out - the secret pay. Not taking any pay cuts. Pontificating from the mic "we're all in this together". These people had to listen to it all day in, day out; and THEY did actually take pay cuts, despite being on small money. (It emerged in the PAC that it would take a researcher on the RT show 10 years to get to €50k/yr).
And yet, RT still just assumed that all of these people would not only welcome him back, but actively want him to come back.
It's so delusional, it's actually bonkers.
The world of corporate presentation videos coukd await him! Soft interviews with the CEO and CTO and reading from a script for the rest of it.
I was thinking about that the other day- something similar to David Letterman?
I don’t think that will work for the following reasons:
* may not be totally true but there’s a limited amount of people in IrelAnd worth interviewing and many have been many times already
He had 19 years of people being lined up for him for interviews and he made a balls of it. 5 years of Tubridy Tonight and 14 of the LLS.
We've mentioned it ad nauseum for nigh on a decade or more; almost every time he gets a major name he makes a mess of it due to nerves. He's often arrogant and condescending when things start to go wrong (Juliette Binoche) and is a bully when he thinks he's above someone.
Any time someone says something he disagrees with, he's straight in with an interruption. If there's one job he's terrible at, it's actually interviewing people on a serious level.
He does little to no prep and I've no cause to believe that after 30 years of mediocrity that he'll suddenly start to get his finger out and do some serious hours in preparation. He had a golden goose and he killed it.
Tell ya what. Why don’t you use your own hard earned money and back his next business venture - as you say yourself, how could anyone lose on the deal given he’s so brilliant.
was the owl with NKM?
Ua that's his biggest problem. A guest could drop the bombshell of.a lifetime and tubs would hit his cards on the desk and say..... tell us about your Irish roots!
Still, I can't see him doing anything else at all.
I don't think he'd ask me, but obviously I think it would be a good opportunity. I do know you are being sarcastic towards me, and there's no need to be like that.
He could always do a sequel to "Patrick and the President". Perhaps he could call it "Ryan and the DG".
Regards...jmcc
Surely "The Boy Who Would be President" - a gripping sequel to his first Booker Prize winning novel Patrick and the President (for all ages under 6 years)
He'd have trouble getting the DG to agree to it, she seems difficult to find, notwithstanding Moya Doherty calling her a visionary on her appointment.
Rid of the owl.
Rid of the Ghoul.
Bye Tubs.
Surely I can't be banned for this? 😂

Warned. Threadbanned poster.
I like Anton savage too, likeable and intelligent
Chairman Moya might be back before the PAC and the Media committee again along with Forbes. The whole RTE fiasco is not over just because Tubridy was dumped. Politically, it has become a major problem due to RTE's financial management, corporate management and waste. People have not been renewing their TV licences and the figures for last week's "sales" should be out in the next day or two. Tubridy may have become the face of the scandal but it is far from over.
Is this a comedy post?
It's quite good if it is
Or Patrick and The Warren Commission, where young Patrick, on holiday visiting his aunt in America in the 60s, gets caught up in the investigation into JFK's assassination.
If he rushes it out maybe it could get him a gig with RFK Jr's presidential campaign
At one stage he was getting so much (justified) criticism on the radio thread that his one or two supporters got mods to set up a thread which was entirely dedicated to saying nice things about Ryan - negative comments about him were completely banned.
But the "say something nice about Ryan" thread died after a very short time because there was nothing posted on it. It was one or two posters who had gotten this thread set up and these posters have mysteriously disappeared since the scandal broke.
Olly deals only via Noel Kelly, so it was a non runner for Kevin B.
Me: Monika, display an image of ryan Tubridy in a mankini.
Monika: Im sorry. Doing that would violate my requirements.
Clearly Monika's interpretation of the laws of robotics extends to not showing RT in the near nip..
sunny disposition and a few others on here asking about RT supporters -
My two cents - having been out and about the last week or so, there is genuinely very very little support for RT and his hubris.
A few middle class comfortable book club ladies who lunch types - (predominantly female over 30s) “wish him well” in his next career steps.
The support is all very lukewarm and flaky.
But on the other hand there is a lot of anger and disgust out there at how RT essentially misled and deceived the nation and his own colleagues in Montrose over pay, particularly when others were being ordered or simply told their pay was being cut no ifs no buts.
as RT would say Its all a bit bonkers.
Not sarcastic at all- you’re the one spouting rubbish about his talents- like I said offer to fund his first venture if he’s so bloody talented
You can disagree with me if you want, but your comment about funding him is clearly not sincere. You’re not being very nice, just because I liked Ryan’s programme and you didn’t.
