Jermaine Jenas must make a surprising return to Talksport, in a controversial movement that has triggered serious disturbances within the station, the mail sport can reveal.
The former Newcastle and England man, who was fired by the BBC in August in the midst of accusations of misconduct in the workplace, has been designed to be part of the comment team for the game Aston Villa vs Tottenham of this end of this end of week.
It is believed that the decision led some staff members to tell the bosses that they would refuse to work with the former midfielder and have left other angry in the midst of a lack of perceived consultation.
A source close to the situation said: 'This is a decision that seems to have been forced to staff without consultation. There is a lot of shock that there were no consultations with the employees. Wouldn't you see at least your views?
Jenas, who presented the only program, has not been heard in the waves from an appearance in Talksport that came at the same time that his BBC departure was announced.
The bosses at the station realized their dismissal moments before it air.

The former midfielder also attacked the BBC because of the way the corporation handled its elimination, saying: 'The management of the situation was not great. It was fast, and hell.
'I don't think there was a game plan for when they were going to announce that they had fired me.
