Pretty much this. I've read around some sites and noticed that the ones who wanted Clarkson out haven't considered any of those options. Sure, BBC reserves the right to do whatever they want, but they should've put some thought on this because it's bad business. The producer is the victim here, I won't deny that. But firing Jeremy made him a target.
I believe that the only thing needed was a fine and some disciplinary measures, but nothing as brash as firing him.
