Jeff Stelling leaving Sky end of season

Wonder if it will be someone like Alex Scott doing it ? If they get the wrong person might as kill it off as Stelling was the show

End of an era.

A lady will be stepping in to the seat would be my guess......

gok wan is the name im getting from my contacts

whys he leaving?

His decision 30yrs and time to let someone else have a go,said its not retirement so may have had an offer.Leaving SKY though...

soccer saturday went to **** when le tiss & co were shown the door imo
this will be the final nail

Too right it’s proper **** now
With mers left only person on it I like

last nail in the coffin for sky  im ofski

Dragon..pm me

done twizz

Dianne Abbot in running

Virtually impossible shoes to fill, he's the reason why many of us have stuck with Sky on a Saturday afternoon I would have thought.

They'll stick in some numpty that ticks all the b.s. boxes and like T.D. count me out as well.

Don't think this will end up as another PC box ticking exercise, I reckon the guy who substitutes for Stelling will get the job full time, he's decent IMO .

unbelievable jeff

might apply for this position

would any of you muggs be willing to give me a reference

He should have resigned when they sacked all his pals.

Irrespective what we thought of them there was a chemistry between him and the other pundits.
Not been the same since with the replacements boring in comparison. Not surprised he's leaving.

I have it on good authority he is totally pissed off with the way the show has gone re the old gang and who replaced them

So are we.

It’ll be a box ticker

And the sad part is they are losing all the viewers but the eejits running the show will claim it’s a great success and “moving with the times” sick to death of listening to them now

Can't listen to Clinton Morrison ,makes my ears bleed.

Maybe some of you lot would have more success with the opposite sex if you didn't spent your Saturdays watching men watching football matches.

give gig to james richardson

Or Harry Hill even

Alison Hammond odds on to be Jeff's replacement

Bradley Walsh's agent on the blower (NAP).

There's no coming back for Bradley Walsh after the abomination that is the remake of The Darling Buds of May.

One almighty bag of sh01te that is

As someone said needs to be a box ticker, bloke in a dress most likely.
Bit like Question of Sport completely ruined by box tickers, my Mrs can't stand sport
but she loved that program.

I wonder if the candidates for his job will need to have a cervix?

It shouldn’t matter what car they drive

For me Bradley Walsh lost his appeal a long time ago.  But how can I knock the guy?  He has beguiled the media into believing that he can do no wrong?  That is modern day talent.

Brilliant Crisp77.  And even though I backed Rummy that 1973 day I still wish he'd got beat! 

Almost impossible to replace Stelling,
He's perfect for job.

Good luck whoever follows him.

bradley created a record the other saturday evening he was on five programmes at the same time the other evening

Soccer Saturday with Jeff compared to the BT Sport equivalent... A vast canyon in quality. imo.

sally webster gutted
stelling early presenter on on sky sport racing winning post etc

i've given up the sports subscription. been meaning to for ages and this was the final push i needed. it hasn't felt like good value for a long time. now i'll have to start looking into other ways to stream it again

Why would anybody want to watch a bunch of chancers in the 21st Century to get latest scores when one can virtually watch every game live on the internet?

it was relaxing filler on a Saturday afternoon, lots of people like the banter and updates on a variety of matches but it went massively downhill when they got rid of all bar Merson and Stelling and this is the end, for me anyway. I was already wavering, as I often work weekends, so not even able to watch as often as I used to.

If they could encourage him to cut down on his sleep time to say 2 hours a day then surely its got to be RYLAN

could slap stelling till ermintrude wends her way home from tramps

A great shame to see this brilliant presenter finally leave our screens on Saturday afternoons.

The figures will drop big time, but they don't care, all about ticking boxes, talent and work ethic are secondary considerations nowadays.

Viewing figs will fall even more once JS leaves. Some customers will cancel contracts. Less viewers equals less advertising equals less readies for Sky.

So when does box ticking become overshadowed by loss of revenue?

I don't think Defoe will be in the running.

Maybe some lezzer with a nose ring.

Definite that a woman will get the gig.

Gabby Logan then maybe Mac?

Probably promotion for one of their many touchline woman reporters Slippy.

Pity there is not a betting market for it.

I'll have £500 on the usual stand in getting it, and them looking for a new stand in.

Stelling + unbelievable jeff + merson

they caught lightning in a bottle

If Sue Smith gets it... I wont be watching  

Love Bianca, but cant help my mind wandering about possible chaffing...

I Just like an afternoon of lads and football....

Surely Richard Keys must have a shout?

The revolution will march on. Certain to go to a woman.

alex scott sam quack clinton morrison emma hayes rachel brown finnes and karen carney will replace the old team probably

He was never gonna stay long after his mates got the boot. As for all the talk of a woman taking over, wouldn't be the biggest ever shock but I would be surprised tbh. Probably go to the chap who has done midweek last few seasons. Competent enough but truly the end of an era.

yes as i said i loved to watch sat afternoon scoreson sky but its crap now and i dont blame him for going.

you can tell hes not as good as he was as he gets no feedback from the morons that are now on. only merson lefy the rest are a total rabble and a disgrace to football journalism

crickets going the same way

whover is making theses decsions needs to hanf their head in shame

they've got to move with the times, i see that but it was too tough an act to follow. the next generation will be fine with it. my sister's eldest thinks alex scott is great

maybe but they wont be getting my monet to watch it any more

Michael Gove
They ****** the program.  Might as well finish it off in lack of style.

I hadn't seen that before MJK, what a top man Jeff is and whoever it is that gets the job it will be a Herculean task to get anywhere near as good as he has been over the last 25 years or so.

In his opinion "The best job in the world" but he wants to carry on working...

Got a feeling this is how Sir Alex went about quitting.... Sky will give him another 50p an hour...

to be fair the show has been going downhill for 2/3 years at least,rinse and repeat week after week,went from been a magazine amusing pub chat for 2 hrs  pre match to taking themselves a bit seriously and rubbishing managers/players/var etc and when you saw the highlights/pics later proved he and the panel were the mugs not those they,d been taking the pish out of

It's essentially a radio show on tv, televised for the sole purpose of Sky showing ads. You don't need anything visual at all from the format.

20 years ago it was fine but the model is outdated and looks very cornball when compared to something like NFL Redzone.

The beauty of Stelling was that he was a proper fan, he knew the lower leagues really well. They don't need to appoint a name, they need someone who knows footy, and has a bit of personality. Little or no chance of this happening obviously

Good point about knowing the lower leagues, Father Maguire.

Might as well get Julian Warren to do it as he handles the midweek shows ok, doesn't need a 'personality' or a change. Or give Nicholas, Thompson and Tissier their jobs back and keep Stelling.

I wouldn`t think his mates sacking has anything to do with him leaving. If it had, he would have resigned immediately when they lost their jobs. He`s a survivalist. Maybe been offered a better paid job somewhere. Maybe with Skybet as their main propagandist.

I agree and I respect him so much for not throwing the toys out of the pram at the time and carrying on.  He has given it a go and I wish him the best of luck.  A great presenter.

"my sister's eldest thinks alex scott is great "

boy or girl?

Give it to harry , bring in big sam, warnock and wally downes, job done  feck the wokes

Ally McCoist would fit in comfortably.

god forbid cant understand a word he says

They are not going to employ an old man. Just got rid of them all.

Can someone on Twitter please contact BF and ask them to put up a betting market on next anchor.

I have a certainty.

just bin it and report scores on a screen, and listen to radio if you want further information.


most of us will be watching horses anyway and if in pub want to make sure we control tv rather than idiots listening to well paid idiots, taking over TV.
