Oh no. What will we do.

Being serious, I hope there’s nothing wrong with his health.
Me too, liked him as a player and even more as a pundit, didn’t mind the odd ‘one eyed dipper’ take on things, I’d expect nothing less from most who support a particular team, but in general I thought he was very balanced and gave credit and a blasting where it was due most times.

He was fair and honest and that's all you want from puntits.

Personalities like him are a dying breed in these times and for me it's not healthy.
 
Keane, Carragher, Neville, Keown, I could go on. There are loads of ageing white men commenting on football. The blacks and women won’t steal it from you, I promise.

I have no problem with any pundit so long as they know what they are talking about.
 
Brilliant player and an excellent (balanced and fair) pundit. Pity he’s leaving but times move on.

No doubt we will get someone whose good at banter and incapable of hiding their loyalties.

Being an old man I prefer pundits like Souness and Keane who just say what they think.

please let them be replaced by “blacks and woman
Carragher should have been sacked when he spat on a kid and TV would be much better without Keane, Neville and Keown
 
One of the reasons he towered over other pundits is that his views are shaped by a far richer experience. He had not only played and had managed at the highest levels, he had also experienced playing abroad at a time when that was most uncommon. Similarly, he could remember a time before the Premier League, so in that sense, he bridged both worlds. He also struck me as someone who has a deep love of the game of football, whereas most other pundits are players who have crafted their personalities and who have a deeper love with being involved in the razmatazz of football.
 
Simon Jordan / Keown saying that Sky flirted him and saying a bad move.
Was the best pundit on the box
 
I liked Souness, he's the one pundit that got every rag I know frothing at the mouth regularly and can't remember him being nasty about City that often (probably due to his wife as others have commented!). He brought a wealth of knowledge from playing and managing at the top level across decades and whoever they replace him with will almost certainly be a downgrade.
