Just saw that Ed is leaving the show and Mike will be joined by Ant Anstead shame they didn't get rid of Mike

[JLR1969]

Has Edd gone to get a haircut, that mop would take a while to tame. Shame though as he is a legend

[philiper1]

He wasn't in the most of the one in latest shows in US as Mike had to get his hands dirty!

Edd was declared bankrupt at the end of 2016 - maybe this had something to do with the decision

Really? Mike didn't pay his wages? All that free labour finally caught up with him

[a803sgo]

Strange as he's one of the exec producers.

I wouldn't call Mike an expert though

[blackpear]

Mike is enthusiastic, but beyond that I'm not convinced about other skills whatsoever

Bankrupt to the tune of £685,614.00 to be precise.

That's not much then

What the hell? Where did you read this?

I cannot imagine Edd wasting his money on flashy or frivolous things, so I can't see how he would be bankrupt?

His main trading company caused the problem

[philiper1]

Ant was good in the other car program which I can't remember what was it called!

[Wills2]

That's a pity, I liked Ed.

Many reasons why someone would/can go bankrupt doesn't mean they wasted their money on flashy or frivolous things as someone said.

I do wonder what exposure some people have had to life.....

[mikeoz]

May be the production company just wanted a change?

sounds like a right car crash!

Looks like a case of style over function.

Wonder how much the directors took out prior to liquidation.

[dizzy619]

Gutted.... Tho they needed someone new to help mike, this last season has been painful to watch

The chip on Wills2's shoulder strikes again!

From the Grease Junkie Garage liquidation statement it looks like it's exactly that, spending £450k on making the garage look flashy!

[isleaiw1]

I read it and thought they hadn't done their homework (proper due diligence) or market research regarding employment and retention or what the market needed or wanted.

The refurb spend is a symptom of their lack of business acumen and not "frivolous spend" - expanding when they had foundations of sand is an interesting business model....

[xenon]

Yes it's very strange. Why didn't they just ask the experts on here when they got into difficulties?

Program won't be the same without Edd. Although it's been said that others were the real experts he nevertheless was a great presenter.
