    So what makes you think it's perfectly fine to stereotype people by their race, age and sexuality?

    It does nobody any good. Shame on you.
    Still waiting for an answer to that question by the way.
  • So it seems it wasn't all a woke/BLM plot after all.

    What a surprise

    If they could have found someone who ticked those boxes, but had similar broadcasting traits to that of Jeff, then I am sure they would have.
    Stelling should have just left the show to plummet, as it has over the years.

    Stelling made it fairly well known he wasn't happy with his mates being sacked and that was why he decided to leave but has had a u turn for some reason.. I guess money or influence on how show is run.

    Money i guess then because what can he change about the way the show is run?

    Preview the big games, read out scores and scorers as they happen, throw in a few facts and one liners, get updates around the grounds, read out full times, get match reports. Not really much to change.

    The entire thing is about money.  And so what, stelling is within his right to seek a better contract if that’s how he feels.

    For anyone who thinks that Sky or any other “MSM” outlet is going to sack all its middle aged white men for “wokeness” if it damages its bottom line then you must’ve skipped business studies.
  • I think it was more about where he might go next to broadcast. He would take a big audience with him, and maybe the programme sponsors too. 
    Not convinced it’s all about money, my guess is he has gained some degree of  “editorial control”.

    Maybe join Keys & Gray
    on beIN ? 😁

  • Well that’s saved us from some 28 year old bird who kept goal for a couple games being installed as a Premier / EFL football expert.

    Go on bring it on…..

    Wait till you hear about how many games the guy who this entire thread is based on has played.
  • Broadcaster Jeff Stelling has announced he will leave Sky Sports' flagship Soccer Saturday show next month.
    The 68-year-old's final show will be on Sunday, 28 May - the last day of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign.

    "It is groundhog day, it is that time of the year, every year, where I announce I am leaving Sky Sports and Soccer Saturday," Stelling joked.

    "But this time it is true."

    Would Julian (Jules) step up ?  He does the midweek games so a natural successor. Or are Sky wanting a more "prominent" frontman ??

    I advocate Scotty Minto !
  • Shame Hartlepool won’t be playing on his last day, would have been great if they won for him!

  • A couple of years ago when we won 4-0 at Hartlepool, we scored something like three in five minutes in the second half. Jeffs response was to throw his hands up and say “Please stop, we surrender!” A hard act to follow.

    I See Souness is hanging up his microphone as well, he was one of the best pundits on the live games IMO.
  • I doubt it will ever be quite the same. Some things are what they are because of what they are.

    Hopefully the new crop of pundits will actually have some brain cells. 

    Did think Jeff Stelling did well at presenting though, even if he's just reading from a teleprompter and notes. 
  • I just hope whoever the new presenters are that they are not from Liverpool. 
    Far too many scouse accents on TV as it is.
