The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

That they are even thinking about bringing him back is bonkers. Says it all about RTE if they are….

A bit like FF, they haven't changed a bit.

is this why they are delaying announcement of a new presenter for Arena? Because Tubridy once read a book he’s qualified

if this happens Rick O Shea can feel aggrieved

This whole respect for Sean Rocks delayed announcement of a new presenter doesn’t really ring true for me

TBF Fianna Fail weren't stupid enough to run "president Bertie" to dig up old graves.

His return was inevitable when he paid back the Renault money. In his eyes he has a clean slate, and it must be said he was the only one of the whole debacle that came out of the PAC with an ounce of credibility.

It's truly is bonkers of RTE to bring him back. RTE hasn't fallen apart without him. They don't need him and shouldn't want him.

He won't get his "welcome home" appearance on the Late Late Show and if he does the jostling will be hilarious. I'd imagine it'll be akin to having Neil Armstrong and not asking him about the moon.

Ryan joins a long list of great Irish people who have made a great success of going into the media show business world in the UK. I am old enough to remember Eamonn Andrew, Val Doonican, and so many more.

He hasn't mentioned that in the last week. Seems like he wants it to be forgotten now. He spoke about it relentlessly for two days. I doubt that it will go ahead now.
