Loved Stelling but probably time to freshen it up

Won’t be the same, don’t know the name of the guy who steps in every now and then and midweek sometimes but it’s just not the same.

Jules something. I like him.

Stelling is good yes but we'll get over it.

Please not Alex Scott!

Is Phil Thompson still on it ?

He's a plank

Julian Warren. He’s very good, and the natural successor to Jeff Stelling. Sky’s job will be to find somebody to act as his understudy, and that won’t be easy.

Reminds me of when Tim Lovejoy left Soccer AM and that absolute tool Max Rushden came in

Agree, MR wasn't great.
Fenners is the best mind.

Oh shit, well I guess I can always watch the scores coming in with the sound turned off!

They'll do very well to improve on Jeff Stelling - wonder what the viewing figures are in response to the shake up they had last year? Nearly all of these things have their time and place and I'm struggling to think of many successful programmes that have been improved once they started going down the rebrand/relaunch route - more often than not, it signals the beginning of the end.

I was wondering if it still got the same viewing figures it did during its peak anyway.

I feel like this would have been a much bigger story 10 years ago.

Do you think the viewing figures are likely to have dropped? If so, why? I know the BBC have tried to do a similar show but that’s looked a pale imitation on the handful of occasions I’ve watched it.

I won’t miss him . Overrated presenter whom Sky overpaid. I could read the scores off an autocue and sound more interesting.
I remember when he had a Hartlepool shirt on , during a crucial relegation day . A complete fool. Glad Newport stayed up that year. Get shot of him, and get someone in his chair who’ s not plastic ,but knowledgeable and interesting at the same time. In other words , someone with a bit of class .

Don't agree with this at all. He makes the programme interesting and watchable. He is a fan like the rest of us. Possibly your opinion is based upon the fact that he supported his team against Newport in the relegation fight ? Well, wouldn't you do the same if it was City V Newport ?

Exactly I think him being a bit biased (especially as it’s towards an unfashionable team) is what makes him good. Shows he’s an actual football fan who attends games rather than just another presenter with a media degree.
