The sacking of Tony Gallagher

The Telegraph had been said to have taken a 'great leap into the digital unknown' by sacking editor Tony Gallagher purely to put the internet first. The reasoning behind this could only be described as absurd, Gallagher was apparently making 'exemplary profits' and performing solidly  against any competition, he also wasn't one who opposed digital media, so one may ask why he was sacked even after his speeches regarding the Telegraphs transformation. He was although sacked for the fact that the Telegraph wanted to reinvent the way they worked and they wanted to move beyond just putting news and information online as they believed that newspapers were not there only competition. 

Has the Telegraph made a good or bad decision in sacking editor Tony Gallagher ? 

In my opinion, sacking Gallagher was a bad decision, looking at the stats, you can see how Gallagher has changed the landscape of The Daily Telegraph, Gallagher was praised many times by Maclennan the successful chief executive of The Telegraph. They have also represented the best result for any full service paper in Fleet Street, digital monthly uniques were also up by 7% during the same period, proving to one that the sacking of Gallagher was absolutely absurd, they made a £60M profit between them the two telegraphs and the profits have been up not down. Gallagher was also not against digital media or putting it forward. The Telegraph media group however saw differently and got rid of Gallagher completely, for me Gallagher should have not been sacked instead another editor could have been appointed just for the online side and Gallagher could have stayed for the print side.
