I'll put you down as undecided.
I'll let you know when I've made my mind up.

Come on, now.
Don't sit on the fence; tell us how you really feel about him.
How long have you got.

How come Alan Green and the coronavirus have never been seen in the same room at the same time? #suspicious

Utter **** and an example of why the BBC shouldn't be funded by the tax payer. £8k a year to carry his bags, paying for him to take taxis for hundreds of miles. Idiots like this twat are why the country is on it's arse.Haha. Good riddance.
Most likely sacked.
A small reminder of why he is so unlikeable:

I think we should sack all commentators on football, they all talk shite and I don’t need some smart arse ex player what I can see with my own eyes. Would prefer just the crowd noise.
Not sure that would work on radio...

He won't be missed , the semi-scouse c*nt
Not all bad I suppose;-
Green had a long-standing dispute with Alex Ferguson[14] following an incident in which Green said on air that he was "learning not to believe the propaganda that comes out of the Manchester United manager's office".[15] Green felt that he had been deliberately misled by Ferguson giving him inaccurate team news the day before a match.[11] In 2009, Green said of Ferguson: "He either bullies or frightens. It's the way he exerts his control over the media. He would be a fantastic propaganda minister. He knows how to manipulate and some of my colleagues take it in."[11]
In 2006, Green was banned from Bolton Wanderers' Reebok Stadium after accusing manager Sam Allardyce of playing "ugly" football. Following Allardyce's departure to Newcastle United, the club invited Green back.[16] In an article for The Belfast Telegraph in 2010, Green wrote: "Am I alone in thinking Sam Allardyce must be the most arrogant football manager that's ever lived?"[17] In January 2013, Green criticised Allardyce's style of play at West Ham United, which he described as "hitting the ball long and high to a big man up front."

I seem to recall he once (on air) berated Graham Taylor for calling him stupid. As if an ex-England Manager would know more about the game than Green.Jimmy Armfield put him in his place a couple of times.
And another time, when he was hosting a radio 'phone-in, he cut off the caller mid-sentence "I'm not listening to stupid opinions".
I think the best I heard was when he was moaning about some spectator constantly standing and blocking his view. He told the "offender" to sit down and you could hear, over the air, the fan teling Green to "Fuck off, I've paid to be be here"
