Rumours are just rumours. Manish himself tweeted earlier that he doesn't know, or gave that message.

On the Mirror website.
"Insiders claim the Football League Show is being axed because it was too expensive. The BBC has seen 15% cut from its sporting budget - with football coverage under serious threat."

I'd just come on here to admit I must've been wrong! (And post the same link from your facebook )

How long before sky sports start showing their own Championship highlights show then?

 

[Chicken Runner61]

More likely to go back to ITV

For Fudge Sake! Just when we move up the pecking order and you don't have to stay up until 1:26am to watch our 2 seconds of footage they axe the frickin' show. Outroooooogeous!

What the f*** is the point of a state broadcaster if it doesn't/won't show the nation's most popular sport's highlights because it isn't as economically viable?

Could it be something to do with all of the money they've spunked/wasted moving everything to frigging Manchester (so they can be closer to f***ing Man Utd?).

The cash thrown about is ridiculous though.

BBC News - Sky Sports and Football League agree £195m deal

Its players wages that are the problem - they are paid too much for what they do.

You can blame Sky but its also down to players wages. The Premier is only the best league in the world because they pay the highest wages and the best players want to earn the best wages.

I've always wondered why they need a great HANGER of a studio to present the show.

Bring back Saint & Greavsie!

 

[Seasider78]

Well they can't have been paying that muppet claridge much for his dull weekly post match 'analysis'

 

[7:18]

great program that I would miss sadly, think they need to find a way to cut costs and hang on to this one...maybe no "presenters" at all, just show us the highlights with some voice over! Definitely don't need the emails and texts read out!

They could easily cut costs by showing just the highlights with narration from a voice-over (Nick Halling ?) , I would forego the 15 minutes of a main match with commentary and punditry from the studio and present the show in the style of Trans World Sports.

Anybody (well, almost) except Nick Halling. Arrogant, self opinionated big-head that he is. There must be someone else? Agree, though, that the Trans World Sports style would be better than nothing.

i read somewhere that BBC had lost the rights as of next season to show football league, and that SKY were going to do there own sat night show?

Cut a slice off Hansen's £40K a show on MOTD

I repeat, Hansen gets £40,000 each and every MOTD he does

Meh

Really hope not.
Would add to the inbalance of the BBC hyping PL, Manure & Spurs.

Surely Gavin Peacock would charge fraction of that...
