Very sad to see, hopefully it doesn't become more prevalent.

No doubt the BBC will take the opportunity to get out the diversity checklist when considering the replacement.

Ot just maybe, as a completely left field suggestion, the best available candidate might turn out not to be a white male?
Crazy I know.

That's very true but it also might really be a white male. Depends how much weight is given to experience of the men's game (as far as I know MOTD is a program about the men's game`, why not have a version of MOTD for the women's game?)Ot just maybe, as a completely left field suggestion, the best available candidate might turn out not to be a white male?

The relevant skill for presenting a TV show is the ability to present a TV show. Allied to that primary ability would be someone who has an interest and knowledge about the sport itself. This criteria can be met by either sex.

They will have soon, and that will be presented by a team of women, maybe the BBC will choose to show both men and womens football on the program.
They will have to intermingle it though because as soon as the men's football finishes it'll be off faster than a political broadcast ;-)

He commentates for loads of other channels he wont go short, I don't know how he'll manage financially maybe we should all chip in at #hardluckbigears because rich people have feelings too.

However, there are some of us who don't have 24 hour coverage elsewhere!!To balance things out, I agree with most of his political comment.
I think that he has been the best presenter of recent times. MOTD has become rather irrelevant now though, as we get 24 hour coverage of the game elsewhere.

Then it won't last long, a bit like Question of Sport!!This thread has gone exactly the way you would expect it to. '' It will be a woman '' '' It will be a black woman''.
Will be funny when it's Paddy Mcguinness again.
