Totally agree. Nedum happens to be black, but that's neither here nor there. He is one of the most articulate, balanced, and perceptive commentators around. In my view, he is streets ahead of virtually any other analyst. He's fond of City, obviously, (and a boyhood fan, which Micah never was) but he gets the balance between showing that fondness and being clear-sighted right far more often than not. If he were to get the gig, it would be on merit. He's a very intelligent young man.
Micah laughs a lot, and his laugh is infectious, and I suppose the powers-that-be thought, “Let's get someone sunny onto the team”.
As a general principle, I'd only have pundits analysing matches involving teams that they weren't formerly involved with for most of their career. But hey, I don't subscribe to Sky or BT, so it doesn't matter a lot to me either way.
