Sterling says he is now considering his position wether to stay or leave.
This stinks and looks political and not in the interest of the show. I hope Sterling resigns enough is enough.
The country has been set back years with this BLM movement and is creating division within our communities. The majority in this country are now being discriminated by the lefty snowflakes, who support BLM and anything that is anti British.
If this discrimination does not stop and stop now I can see racial tensions similar to what we see in the USA, but with white faces not black
Raheem Sterling?
Stelling mentioned a while back that he wouldn't be doing this job forever, which suggested he didn't plan on doing it much longer anyway.

Funny how it's "the lefties" that are always described as snowflakes and bedwetters. Seems like it is those claiming this are the ones constantly throwing their toys out.

The snowflake lefties are making me upset by replacing some of the pundits on a programme where they talk about the football and it has totally ruined this country.
The lack of self-awareness is next level.

If anyone has wondered what it means when people are referred to as "snowflakes" this post is a perfect illustration.
Admittedly the last line is just batshit mental rather than "snowflake"

Gillette sponsored show needs to be diverse to keep the money flowing in. Whether the viewers agree is another matter - time will tell and the viewing figures will tell the story. I'm happy to watch it on mute if it becomes a cringe fest like BBC final score.

"Stelling says he is now considering his position to stay or leave"
Jeff used to be joined by his former cronies Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier and Charlie Nicholas advertising and promoting Sky Bet on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps he is also to lose that gig as well which I am sure provided him with a nice little earner.

I think some posters have such suspicion of blacks that they can't trust them to tell the correct score.

If he goes then he goes, they'll find someone else to step in.
Interestingly I'm listening to talksport right now with Jamie O'Hara, Jermaine Pennant and some other lads like Trevor Sinclair and tbh it's more enjoyable than the last time I watched Sky Sports on match day.
I'm not suggesting this lot are the answer to replacing Stelling & Co but they could certainly do a lot worse.
There's a group of lads on 5live who're on for about an hour on a Saturday who are enjoyable too

There are less than a handful of people saying they will miss the broadcasting talents of the axed presenters. Plenty claiming they are victims of woke snowflake libtards. That is the issue right there. The reluctance to give opportunity to upcoming talent even when the outgoing presenters are pretty unanimously seen as mediocre. Make the case for their talent if you're so desperate for them to stay. The silence is deafening.

My take
I like to hear (and respect) the "informed" comments from any pundits who have played at a similar level to the game which they are watching
If a former player from say National League level was invited onto the panel I would find it difficult to take them seriously

I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to ask Jono and Carl who play for the Queens Arms in Brixton to do it.

Jeff Stelling, Mark Chapman and Des Lynham have never played pro football yet they're all respected for their work in the world of football as pundits.
Oddly the ones who're mainly being frowned upon on here are former pros who happen to be women who've played at the highest level of the game.
I can't quite put my finger on why that would be though

And there are plenty of pundits who have played at the top level who are considered by most to be appalling.

The panel on Soccer Saturday is often dull, negative, poorly informed and prone to in-jokes that do nothing to enhance my experience as a viewer. The 3 presenters are pretty interchangeable to me, and you can add Cottee, McInally and Merson to the list. I would welcome some new voices and perspectives.

Agreed jojo, it's a different proposition being the anchorman and requires a different skill set.
I would also prefer ex Pros on the panel who can provide a better insight into mindset and tactics than those who haven't been involved at the highest level, the recruitment of the right individuals is key here. Gary Neville types, he's excellent.

They still give their opinions, partake in discussions and are well respected.
They're more than just front men/presenters, but I suppose that's an easy mistake to make.

What they should be doing with recruiting is drawing up a pool of people who would be interested in taking the job & asking the viewers to decide, the viewers are paying with the subscription fees & are more than entitled to decide what they are spending there money on & who there want to listen to & who there want to see. It's not rocket science that way it encourages the subscriptions to keep flowing in knowing that people have the choice & freedom of input.

Sure, it is practical in the sense that it could be done. That is not the same as it being desirable though. Using my analogy, it is unlikely that Dwight would have got his chance because relatively few people had seen him play.

By & large & in the main, SD can be trusted to do that because it's been demonstrated that he's capable, we are talking about something completely different here, people could vote by the red button on a massive scale through multiple choice. I don't understand why some people are opposed to giving people the freedom of choice in lifestyle decisions.

Haha...and who has decided SD can be trusted? Those that are accountable for the outcome and consequences.
I am not against more choice in lifestyle decisions.There are a lot of things that would benefit from more consumer input but most consumers have neither the time nor inclination. Who selects the candidates that we get to vote on? How do we get exposure to fresh talent so our decisions are informed?

Not sure why you're persevering with this. You have already exercised your freedom in choosing not to subscribe.

It's forced freedom though if I've chosen not to subscribe because I can't play a part in deciding what presenters front up & feature. Freedom should be about choice I've exercised something with no choice given if you think thats freedom I disagree.

Do you ever have to delegate in your working life? Are you involved in the selection process of every public employee and every private sector employee of whose products/services you consume? Would your freedom be enhanced by spending vast amounts of your leisure time on deciding these things?

Time? It's a 10 second decision, regarding the inclination if they abstain it's a no vote, there's nothing extremely complicated here, yes I agree that those will be accountable & for the consequences & outcomes which could be completely taken away if the viewers decided. The candidates would be from a mass pool who are interested in the job & then whittled down until the number selected was right, the exposure to the fresh talent can surface in any number of other ways, I don't understand why you seem to be ideologically opposed to giving the subscription fee payers the opportunity to decide when it's there money that is being spent.

It's forced freedom though if I've chosen not to subscribe because I can't play a part in deciding what presenters front up & feature. Freedom should be about choice I've exercised something with no choice given if you think thats freedom I disagree.
You're on a wind up yes?

Are you being serious? Is this the machine you want to rage against?
As a fee paying Sky subscriber I vote against you, a non-Sky subscriber, getting to decide who I watch on my TV. Now, back to my valuable leisure time...

The sky subscriber can only vote once per box, I wouldn't be allowed to vote unless I subscribed, you the subscriber are in complete control of how you spend your hard earned, now wouldn't that feel good!

What about people with multiroom subscriptions?

Well that's a good point, however multirooms get a vote each, the subscriber can despise eg Alan shearer & like Jermaine jenas but can exercise that choice & can influence who gets the job instead of being lumbered with somebody they can't stand or deciding to cancel or switch off.
