John Geary Retiring

[SFSAC]

Surprised not to see a mention on here (until now) about this. Far fetched assumption to see if the over the pond prank had any influence at all.

I worked at a few station he managed before he went to Entercom, always seemed like a good guy

It's hard to tell what softsac is implying with this poorly constructed sentence. Could you clarify please?

I find it interesting that he's finally ready to leave. I heard it from him directly 15 years ago that he had just one more year to go, then he'd retire.

Of course! Manny Miguels, over the pond is an often used phrase to reference the body of water between the US and our neighbors in England. There was a phone call made from a morning radio show where one disguised themself as Queen Elizabeth. A nurse answered and put the imposter through to her room. The nurse ended up committing suicide allegedly due to the prank. JG was at the helm at Entercom when a prank went wrong with a radio contest and a listener's life ended. Sorry for not starting the sentence with "It's", that may have clarified the implication a little more clearer for you. Hopefully this explanation suits your grammar specifications sufficiently.

Doesn't matter, had no influence in his decision.
