Richard Keys' wife slams Sky over handling of sexism row
Add to My Stories The wife of TV presenter Richard Keys has blasted Sky as being 'offside' in how it handled the sexism controversy.
Keys announced his resignation from Sky on Wednesday night, following the sacking of Andy Gray on Tuesday.
The football pundits were dropped after they made sexist remarks about assistant referee Sian Massey before the Premier League game between Wolves and Liverpool at the weekend.
'Whether you like them personally or not, professionally there's very few who would knock them.
'I feel the wrong two guys were given the red card. It doesn't quite make sense in a way and it's questionable the way it has been handled.
'I think Sky was offside in the way it handled it. It's very sad after the career Richard has had that it has come to this but I do not see it as being the end of it.'
