BT Sport Coverage.

To change the subject from regime issues etc. Just watching the Spurs match on BT and I can't believe how many people they have 'working' on the coverage. The commentator, TWO co-commentators, including the virtually illiterate buffoon Savage, Howard Webb 'refcam', the presenter and THREE pundits. Why on earth do they need all these people? I can understand why they need Hoddle there as backup to Savage, who can't string more than one sentence together, but why not just Hoddle on his own? Thats EIGHT people being paid to present just one match, not including the many people working in the background, ridiculous. If they cut some of these totally unnecessary people from the coverage they might actually be able to charge us less to watch it.

    Harry Redknapp chats some shit though don't he.

    Talking about Defoe.

    "He scores goals, always has done. Even when he was in the Under 10's, I used to watch him in the youth team every week at West Ham"

    Saggy faced liar

    Jesus, was just asking people's opinions, I thought I might get some intelligent, thought provoking responses, I should have known better I guess...

    Lol. Sorry mate, but you left the door wide open for that one.

    I guess they are just trying to be a bit different. Anything with Savage is always going to be a bit marmite, but at the end of the day it is something we can all choose to buy or switch off - unlike the bbc for example.

    I didn't say that I don't like the coverage, and sadly if i want to watch live football I am limited in my choices. The point I was making is that is it totally necessary to have quite so many people, who I am sure are being very highly paid, to present just ONE football match?
