Who's going to replace the two sexists?

[cmonurz]

As a serious guess, Logan and Redknapp.

But preferably Kelly Brook and lots of mirrors.

[Seal]

Ben Shepherd & Redknapp - see my post on the other thread.

[Whore Jackie]

Wouldn't be surprised to see them put in a big money move for Lee Dixon too.

[Hoop Blah]

I'm caught in two minds over Redknapp to be honest. I prefer him over Gray by a long way, but he's not a commentator or co-commentator who can raise the excitment like Gray is/was (it's the one thing he was good at and even if he talked bollocks the delivery was very good for adding to the atmosphere), but much like Gray he's too close to the players and the old boys network. All you generally get is him defending the players and making excuses for them.

However, and this is interesting in light of Seal's comments, I do detect a bit of a change in him this season. He's been more critical of what he sees on the pitch this season, the Torres comments being the most high profile, which has been a welcome change. I'd kind of put it down to Torres not being part of his network of pals because he's a new era at Liverpool and not one of the Lampard, JT, Carra, Stevie G set that Redknapp is close to. It might be that he's been directed that way by this new guy who wants a fresher look to the presentation and one that's more balanced in it's appraisal of the players.

Sheperd I can take or leave, but wasn't massively keen on Keys who just seemed a bit of a suck up anyway. Even when he challenged the likes of Gray and the other guests he seemed to be apologising for doing so.

Frank Mcavennie and Charlie Nicholas... fine upstanding individuals

What is Gavin Peacock up to? Always thought he was an excellent summariser on Final Score, and has the personality to be Tyler's wing man.

No makes too big a deal out of it and puts the pundit under immediate pressure.

Much easier to ease the new team in under the radar. I imagine Shepherd and Stelling will share the work load (mainly Shepherd), no big announcement, just someone from the existing family filling in, then before you know it, Shepherd will have been there every week and you'll barely have noticed the transition.

[winchester_royal]

Won't be amused if Shepherd gets it...he's horrendous on GOS.Doesn't seem to be much of an alternative though. Obviously Stelling is head and shoulders above the rest of the Sky presenters, but he's too damn good at doing the scores on the games at 3 for them to move him elsewhere.

[cmonurz]

Who is Stelling's understudy, the wet schoolboy looking one who generally does midweek football scores. Always disappointed when I see he is running the show and not Jeff.

Ed Chamberlain I think?

And agreed on that, but TBF to him, Stelling is a seriously tough act to follow. His apparent armoury of stats and other trivia is astonishing.

[Gloria Gooner]

Lee Dixon would be good if they could poach him from the BBC.

LOLz it's like he knows every player in the league

[Hoop Blah]

Totally agree. It needs a different presenter.

Is it David Jones who does a lot of the other leagues games? He does ok, albeit without quite the same smoothness of Keys.

A lot of the good points with Keys is purely down to the familiarisation. Sky have probably made a rod for their own back with him over the years, he's pretty much made it his own. I'd expect in the future they might be a little more canny about it and have 2 or 3 that rotate a bit more, leaving the more senior of the options to do the big Super Sundays.

He moved to Canada to Study Theology and become a minister. Probably rules him out.

[weybridgewanderer]

manish bhasin and steve claridge

[Hoop Blah]

I actually quite like Clarridge, although I tend not to watch the analysis on the Football League show so I'm basing it mainly on his previous work as co-commentator and You're On Sky Sports contributions when he was quite aligned to my views on Sven and the England team.

[paultheroyal]

and

[paultheroyal]

Or this man will be back with Rednapp....

[Skyline]

Or this man will be back with Rednapp....

God no.

Like the idea of the guy who does the Football League stuff (and the Victory Shield as well I think) - Dave Jones?

[floyd__streete]

His career took a nosedive after he murdered Dr Black in the Billiard Room with the Lead Piping.
