It feels like a lot of the ex-players in media are just coasting with a cushy job and not a lot of work to do. 8 hours ago, Zatman said: He got a lot of hype over the weekend but still dont know who or what he is. Seemed just a typical United fan Sky Sports still employ Jamie Carragher who spat on a child he is a youtuber/tik tok "star" who makes his money on views of just yelling at stuff in the videos & mispronouncing names/countries in Fifa games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 On 16/11/2022 at 11:20, VillaChris said: On the Quest EFL coverage they had Ali Maxwell and George Elek from not the top 20 football podcast and they were very good alternating most weeks and giving quick concise information on league 1 and 2 teams alongside an ex pro/manager on the highights. Neither have been used by ITV yet despite claims they would be but they're two of the best I've seen and many more around if you look hard enough as you say. Everyone shat on it, but 'EFL on Quest' was about as good as any highlights program gets really. Mostly good pundits, took it seriously, and Colin Murray is a highly-engaging host. Bring it back IMO (and take Murray off his 5 Live show where he talks about politics, I would gently say that's not his forte, jesus). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I think there must be more media there than fans talking up the decent accommodation. Every random commentator, media rep is there. Even Pien Mulensteen is there doing interviews. Usually commentating on League 1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football media & punditry has been a closed ole boys' shop for years with only "old ex pros" who end up getting those cozy high paying with little working gigs. But they almost never give any quality in depth tactic looks, or other really nuanced arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
