To be honest Gary parting company with the BBC would probably be a win win for both sides
Gary will go and work for another broadcaster and probably get paid at least the same if not more, for equally prominent broadcasting and will not have his salary analysed every year
The BBC get to save money on his salary, get to promote someone more diverse up the football presenting hierarchy, and will probably still get exactly the same ratings for MOTD and other live football as they do now. Plus they won’t have to deal with this sort of controversy next time Gary wades in on a political issue
