genome Reading between the lines of their statement I wouldn't be surprised to see Eni Aluko let go by ITV
Quoted, to save people having to look - as I had to (poor nobbing genome

):
"As one of the UK's most respected and much-loved footballers and sporting broadcasters, with a career spanning nearly four decades, Ian is an incredible advocate, ally and brilliant broadcaster of women’s football from a grassroots level as well as at the highest international competitions."I really hope she is let go by them. I really don't like her at all, and think she's putting more people off the women's game. She also says some completely ridiculous things about games, where it makes the women's sport look stupid. It therefore plays into the narrative of some that women's football isn't serious and we should all ignore it.
For her to mention Ian is a monumental error - of epic proportions. A man who firstly is widely and well regarded, as both being kind, genuine, loving and good humoured. Not only that but he continually supports the women's game and has paid for treatment of one woman footballer who needed a year of physical therapy. He's also been a pundit on the men's games and mid-sentence dropped some references to the women's games in, clearly demonstrating knowledge and helping once again to raise its profile.
She's damaging to the sport in my view and I'm sick of seeing and hearing about her - even before this.
