Well he's resigning sometime in the next 12 months....probably should have several years ago. 

But will still sit on the board of Sky only stepping down as CEO within 12 months.

Sounddude: New blood required to take Sky into the 20th century. 

It's too late for Sky for the 20th Centrury, what with that having finished 19 years ago. But I guess they've sucked all the blood from their subscribers and Fellet must be pretty drained by now, so a new source is required to keep them going a bit longer...
