The nominations for SPOTY are put together by an independent panel and then the viewers vote for who in their opinion is the most deserving.
Personally I wouldn’t have been against O’Sullivan being nominated but until that happens nobody can vote for him or indeed other Sporting favourites
Farrah has been an outstanding track athlete as his record confirms and he has now left the track in favour of Marathon running.
I suspect the nomination and the votes for Farrah were based on his outstanding achievements as a track Athlete with another World Championship won in the Summer and him retiring from track Athletics to concentrate on Marathon running.
Farrah was nominated by the independent panel and perhaps somewhat surprisingly he got the most votes from the viewers when Anthony Joshua was the favourite.
Farrah has just returned from living and training in the US and his wife is still out there still sorting things out whilst he is back in the UK allegedly his son was ill which is why he wasn’t in Liverpool when ideally he should have been.
Like Benni I’m not sure the programme hasn’t run out of legs currently and at the very least it probably needs a bit of a revamp if not perhaps it has run its course.

Pagan, the BBC in recent times has lost it’s personalities. It’s steered in a way where there’s just ‘YES’ men and a network more than ever that’s PC.
Maybe one of the other channels or broadcasting networks could take this off the hands of the BBC or just create their own anyway.

Interestingly the viewimg figures for SPOTY were 9.4 million and I suspect the BBC will be happy with that and wont be looking to give the event away to anyone else. Doesn’t mean that it can’t be improved though and I’m sure the BBC will be looking to do that.
