They should do what Top Gear did and take the whole show to another channel

Unless they took Jeff with them it wouldn't work.

Why would that mean I know why they were sacked?

It’s been widely reported that Sky Sports is cost-cutting, and Sky have said that they’re shaking up and refreshing some of their football coverage. The three of them are hardly compelling viewing, and two of them you couldn’t really accuse of displaying cutting edge tactical insight.

Take your pick.

Or, despite no replacements being named as yet and with myriad more likely and sensible reasons, just suggest that they were sacked because they’re too white and too peeeenisy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
who suggested thatread back you idiot

I personally think the change is needed and would welcome a more diverse panel.

Matt Murray and Alex Scott the best for me

I also think Sue Smith is ok.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Several posters have more than suggested that.

And what do you think it reads like, in context, when *you* write:

“what you fail to see is that the 3 that were sacked were all white and for no apparent reason.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well not me and that is what has happened and if the shoe were on the other foot arab who I was responding to would be be fuming.

Personally I don't give a monkeys although as mentioned I thought Le tiss was good at his role.

Scott Minto sacked now. A great pundit according to most.

Minto was terrible. The other guy David Prutton is much better.

You forgot to add in your opinion. My mates who are fulham fans thought he was good.

Couldn't stand Le Tissier. One of the most anti united pundits out there. Up there with Waddle.

They were rubbish. They were losing viewers. You're better off getting analysis from YouTube videos that do a much better job covering it then these fools. Best ones are now making these short videos online. And you don't have to put up with these idiots talking like idiots. Them being white was probably what kept them in the job as long as it did.

Yep, it's the elephant in the room we're not allowed to mention, ethnic minorities are being shoe horned into everything in the media, tv etc etc, the irony.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's wrong with ethnic minorities?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The irony is that in the likely scenario the 3 replacements are black/female/both, is that the 3 who got sacked lost their jobs because of their gender or the colour of their skin. But because they are white men nothing will be said about it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
lol, this is the biggest snowflake response. Those 3 idiots weren’t sacked because of their skin colour, maybe just maybe it’s because they’re awful pundits?

How many times have we all spent here over the years belittling the likes of Phil Thompson for his Liverpool bias and his absolutely shiiit opinions? Or Le Tiss with Southampton and vice versa. They’re three crusty old middle aged farts that Sky finally realised needed freshening up. That’s it. They won’t be going on the dole after this if you’re worried.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Should all pundits be given the elbow as soon as they hit middle age?

it should really be the next best candidates even if they are white and that should exclude women. Getting a woman to talk about high level PL football is like asking someone from the conference league to be a pundit in the Liverpool V United game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that is rubbish because as has been mentioned a few times, Alex Scott is decent and better than most Sky pundits
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If she looked like Clare Balding you won't say that

They do, some on here are that arrogant they think they speak for everyone.

I wouldn’t mind knowing what the viewings have plummeted too. I personally like the chemistry they had.
