Ratboy has been on Sky's payroll for donkey's years telling other managers how to do their jobs - because he was such a roaring success at it. And that has been the company's Achilles heel for a long time now, way way too eager to pander to the Redshirts and their sub-human followers.
Look at Spitman Carragher, absolutely disgusting behaviour from a so-called professional tv pundit, yet Sky welcomed him back after the incident with open arms. Camelgob is a convicted drunk driver who cheated on his own wife while she was dying, but for some reason Sky didn't bin the inarticulate, cockney prick.
This vast, gigantic corporation obviously knows that the average football fan on the street despises their 'employ a former dipper/rag at any cost' attitude, but they continue to employ these former players, regardless of the fact that they all biased and overly-protective of their former clubs, and the fact that to a man they are all mostly uneducated, ignorant, semi-literate troglodytes without a single functioning brain cell between them.
