Following on from main thread in Current Affairs about Tubs in general (now closed and mod suggestion that Entertainment category is more suitable).
Indeed, entertainment in certain respects is what Tubs has provided, albeit perhaps in a way not intended. And still awaiting 150k payback to the licence fee holder.
And of course, his new career in Virgin Radio which is imminent.
copying some frequent posters from original thread.

Cat-Mod: See post here regarding off-topic segues.
I think that book was about successful Irish people in the UK.
I think all of us would agree that's nasty, and he was Warned
In fact I recall the people you come on here daily to moan about didn't like it either
He gets 2 pound fifty pence for every post
And obviously needs 68000 posts per annum to make his 170k
That's weird thing to say.
Where's your "be kind" sign off gone?
Also why did you change your name on boards?
I am not saying it is a huge sum of money in the grand scheme of things, in fact I think I would regard it as cheap if it results in change at RTE.
It's meaningless to those who come by it via public funding. At least toyman is in a commercial station now, even if he might be paying for his seat there.
Christ almighty
Given that the Sindo/Indo were singing his praises for months, it is odd that they never offered Tubridy a column. The Irish Mail is a compartively small player in the market.

Perhaps "they" might also have to have a word with Mario Rosenstock and crew. The Gift Grub sketch (already mentioned here) is saying pretty much the same as we are. Most of the comments here are fair IMHO.

Ah now, ye don't mind giving out a bit of negativity yourself.
So it was a far right plot that scuppered Toyman!
At least when he gets bored of talking about books he can gush over the royals as Irelands self appointed Buckingham palace stalker. Didn't an Irish lad find his way into the queens bedroom a few decades ago? Toyman could do a reprise of that caper!
How can you endure it?
The substantial pay cut he was forced to take with Virgin just further exposes the "peculiar" nature of the Renault deal. €25k per appearance for Renault was fair market value for his time in his eyes, but then he goes on to accept a 75k per annum role for substantially more work and inconvenience with Virgin. I appreciate his reputation has been tarnished beyond repair in the meantime but it highlights the fact this Renault deal never appeared to be on the level in the first place.
I don't listen at all I just enjoy the thread
Personally I find this thread to be very positive in its negativity, there's a certain genuine feel to it apart from the fake praise that is
His supporters are certainly not "decent" people, they are the types of people who benefit from the same type of nepotism in Irish society.
where's the failure. He's very wealthy, has an excellent income, well liked by decent people. There are a type of sad group that dislike him and rather that switch to another channel they almost ingratiate themselves into him to feed their need to spout hatred.
A bit like the uneducated types that are so gullible that they believe anything far right agitators say about refugees.
I believe and I'm sure our nk colleagues here will agree, it was nk's exquisite management that got that 150k for tubs and tubs Just saw the paypacket and was oblivious to what went on, like some of the chaps at the nuremburg trials
Some people can't accept failure, which is why they brigade threads like this.
and they are all on this thread too 🤣
Just check to see who thanked your post. What time do you and the rest of the NK tag time clock off the thread.
Ray was involved, sure, but the statement wasn’t “crafted” by him, alone.
And has fanboys on the internet shaping the narrative surrounding his investments. No stone unturned.
I mistakenly thought they were fans of Tubridy, people who I dont think I've met in real life, but they are just a fan of NK Talent Management
Tubbs is back on Radio 1! Well just in the form of an ad for a column he has with the email On Sunday apparently telling us all about his exciting life these days. I’m not expecting Mail On Sunday sales to soar.
There is no doubt and never has that nk is an amazing turd polisher
Was it your PR man Ray Gordon who came out with the statement which eventually caused Kevin not to renew the contract?
Music is picked by the producers, Q102 is really 1990/1980 pop music station, this is why they choose that station over FM104.
Yeah but he said he’d pay back the €150,000.
@Gregor Samsa
Is this the work of an out-of-his-league chocolate salesman?
I always disliked this, as soon as it was said. Particularly considering how out of her depth Dee Forbes had been, though she had all the experience and qualifications required, and she couldn't even take the time to turn up to the Oireachtas.
Along with the fact that it came from a Politician, if your a party hack your qualifications and experience mean little, and sure if you had a falling out with those up there in Party HQ in Dublin all the better for your career as an independent politician.
I think overall this is a case of people waiting/wanting RT to fail because of their dislike of him. I think you just have to wait or see how it works out. We can have an opinion one way or another, and we won't know for at least another year.
We also have little knowledge of RT's actual pay packet.
At the end of the day if you have a hard neck ... experience means little.
Suggesting the 150K and the structure of how Ryan was to be paid it is due to a failing on RTE's part is quite disingenious. It was clearly arranged between RTE, the world's greatest agent NK, and possibly Ryan himself to allow the facade of a pay cut in public.
