Bose leaves BBC


Mihir Bose, the BBC's lacklustre sports editor, has resigned from his job with immediate effect for personal reasons.

The 62-year-old is currently staying with family in India and has no plans for other roles at the moment.

Bose has been a controversial figure within the Corporation since becoming its first sports editor in October 2006.

He has failed to bring in the exclusive stories of contemporaries such as economics editor Robert Peston, his blog has been derided and his haughty manner has upset some.

The BBC has not yet decided whether it will appoint a replacement.

Bose was unhappy that head of sport Barbara Slater had decided to move his role to Salford in 2011, when he had originally been told he could stay in London.
