..so says Ian Wright.
I for one really enjoyed tuning in to Soccer Saturday on a wet afternoon when City were away. The banter between them and Stelling was excellent..
It probably did need a shake up. The stuff between Stelling and Nicholas was a bit weird and always felt like they were in more on the joke than the audience.
All 3 weren't the best but there was also nothing wrong with them.
I hope this is to bring someone better in and not for tokenism's sake
Thompson's best days as a footballer were more than forty years ago and Nicholas' not far short of that number ago and you're seeing the same in cricket where Gower and Botham have been absent from the recent test match coverage, at a guess, two thirds of those watching would never have seen them play..
I don't care what colour their replacements skins are or what sex they are, just whether they are good or not - that's why I would hope Clinton Morrison for one isn't one of them.
Alex Scott is always good
Sue smith is OK
Matt Murray and micah Richards are the 2 best now.
I see Ian Wright mentioned Richards, Scott, sol campbell and Clinton morrison. He went onto praise the first 2, I assume he didn't do the others as both come across terribly.
Agree with tobw that the majority of people watching probably have never seen Thompson and Nicholas so lose their appeal.
If they're the best for the job who cares? Alex Scott is decent but she's on everything.
Problem is half the skill with the job isn't actually the punditry it's the rapport. That takes years to build and no guarantee it will ever be there. Look at Kammy, he's an idiot but it's what you tune in for.
Its SKY , they are all shite
Mind you look at shearer
I don’t care who they get in as I ditched Sky a while ago.
However, the only criteria for any sporting pundit ,on any channel ,is that they should be relevant to the majority of viewers and that they add to the viewing experience in terms of being able to explain or highlight aspects of the game that may go unnoticed by the majority of viewers.
I think Clinton Morrison is very good once you can understand the way he talks. He’s extremely well prepared wether I listen to him on radio or watch him on tv. He knows the championship well too.
Micah Richards is terrible Imo, he’s just got that Rusty Lee laugh which I think will wear thin after a while.
Sol Campbell is awful. I don’t know why he’s even in the conversation.
I like that ex England hockey player, mixed race woman
Sam Quey ?
I don't know why but whenever she's on telly I watch
I'm glad Le Tissier has been bounced out, the conspiracy theory pushing c**t.
And the only reason Wright opened his mouth on the subject was withing seconds of Sky making the announcement Twitter was full of muppets screaming "watch them hire some black people to fill a quota!".
Matt Murray and Micah Richards come across well. But as for Alex Scott, cripes, she turns up everywhere. And she is hopeless, she juts witters on talking rubbish usually. And seems full of her self importance.
Caitlin Jenner got to be worth a shout!
Absolutely agree the more folk that ditch the better, I did a while ago.
Somehow I don't think relevance to the viewer will be a strategy in the future as political correctness overwhelms society.
I guess Matt Le Tissier was always doomed over his questioning of his bosses at Sky around wearing the black lives matter badge and his opposition to their defined the police policy .
The 3 guys going are though getting on and a bit cringy at times ,as is Wrighty , I just hope Sky make sensible choices and not political ones .
I hope they employ Garth Crooks and Sol Campbell.
Sky Sports is getting crap. NFL channels. 40 year old has beens on boxing PPV.
Employing them 2 I think will be what it takes me to knock Sky Sports on the head.
Oh and throw in Hartson as well.
