Very interesting twitter posts from BBC radio Sheffield breakfast presenter Toby Foster. A few hours ago he tweeted that he had gone to a meeting with a manager from the BBC and basically was sacked and called him the C word. These tweets have now been deleted and he is now saying this:
@TobyFoster: Phone ringing like mad. I've spent 11 years talking about S Yorks. If it finishes now , I'll be sad.

This one should be interesting

    Only listen to RS for the sport. However Toby has pissed off all the blades with his one sided 'specials' on blades who have done wrong but totally ignoring Owls who are currently doing jail time!! Goodbye!

    I've been listening intermittently this morning and not heard a single word mentioned about him not being there so something's going off that we don't know about guess we'll be the last to find out.

    If true it's sad for Toby after 11 years but now at last he'll know what Tony felt like who got it after 30 years.

    Why would Hallam want someone who sounds like the MC at a Working Men's Club?

    Steve White going back the other way though is not a bad shout.

    Sheffield Forum has a 6 page thread on it, half hate him half love him. it's great reading.

    I can't stand the bloke and ever since his "opinions" on Ched Evans and where our Arab millionaire was born and that country's laws.

    Glad the fat git has lost his job. Waddle on Tubby Foster.

    I've always very much enjoyed Toby's shows.
    Without a shadow of any doubt, the best BBC local breakfast show in Yorkshire.
    I did always wish he had continued with the afternoon shows though, as the light relief of music and comedy always brightened up the end of my working day. Toby & Jamie Campbell (Producer) made a cracking afternoon team.

    If all he's done is have a row and fall out with one of his bosses then that doesn't necessarily mean he's finished there knowing the beeb he probably has a hundred bosses, guess we'll find out soon what's really happened.
