    I assume Clem was down at Sparrow's Lane this week

    Actually we're (for the neutrals) quite an interesting story, getting promoted despite all the off field issues

    Yes, nothing new but nice to see Bowyer in action on the training ground, especially doing one to ones. He's definitely seems to be a "track suit" manager rather than someone who delegates most of the actual coaching

    Doesn't have enough other coaches to do anything else.

    Delegates to Gallen.

    I think he enjoys it though, the one to ones with players. I imagine he's happy to delegate some of the off field stuff to Gallen

    Football Focus is to end after 52 years, BBC Sport has announced.

    Launched in 1974, the Saturday lunchtime television programme provided fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game before the weekend's fixtures.

    The only interest in football focus is in the Premiership. 

    Long given up on this programe and final score also has no other interest infootball other than Premiership and foreign football scores really. 

    Sign of the times really . Football is nothing what it was.

    The biggest problem Football Focus has is that the world has moved on. I've watched a couple recently and the content falls into 2 categories: Stuff I already know, stuff I don't know because I'm not interested in it.

    That's the problem, there's simply very little content they can put into Football Focus that the intended audience haven't already found out online already. It was different back when it was the only real source of up to date news in the build up to match day, but those days have long gone.

    Yes the world has moved on but the BBC is obsessed with chasing the youth and being more balanced with their outputs.  But the people that watched programmes like this and even Question of Sport are older and hate the gimmicks, so they lose their residual viewer base.

    Too much focus on women's football has essentially killed it.

    Hardly anyone is interested in the women's game, as the poor attendances show in relation to cheap as chips prices. But still the BBC persist with it.

    I agree. I guess it ticks the ‘diversity’ box for them 🙄

    Same as Q Of Sport. 
    Tinkered with something that wasn’t broken in the name of diversity - and broke it.

    Talking of women's football, I wish they'd put the women's scores on a separate page on the BBC Sport website and App, as unlike other sports there are so many games going on, and football in general is so big, that it becomes overloaded.

    For example on Saturday, to see the EFL scores you had to scroll down past 25 women's world cup qualifiers. There will be lots of interest in the home nations of course, but for most of those qualifying games, there would be more interest in the National League.
