Jeff Stelling, the Monkey Hangers most famous supporter . . . actually the Money Hangers only famous supporter.

Whereas I discovered on Twitter yesterday that his son is an Albion fan!

Maybe he figured his dad wouldn't mind too much if he followed a more successful team, as long as they played in blue and white stripes too.

kelly cates? one lady who knows her stuff.....

Hopefully bland Ben Shepherd is off radar as replacement. Probably because he's on everything else.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Reckon it will be Jim White replacing.

Also similar to top gear I wondered whether Jeff and boys have been snapped up as a package elsewhere for next season?

 

[nickbrighton]

I think whoever gets the gig, it would be a big mistake to try and just replace him and carry on with the same format.

The show developed over years to become the entertainment football show that it eventually turned into and the relationship between JS, the panel, and the viewers grew organically. It simply wouldn't have worked if they started out like that. Apparently the wholesale change of panel damaged that chemistry (haven't seen it in ages) and it hasn't been quite the same since

I think they would do well to go back to more of factual show and let it develop , change the whole presenting team.

It may be a bit like Top Gear that took 3 or 4 seasons post Clarkson to hit on the right mix of presenters.

The show has been the stuff of legend in the past providing some great comedic moments, (Chris Kamara stands out as being the provider for a lot) and as others have said was simply unmissable at one point

Jeff Stelling is the best studio football anchor bar none and the only reason I watch Gillette Soccer Saturday, he's also been very complimentary about the Albion over the years and I can't see who is good enough to replace him.

 

[chaileyjem]

Julian Warren has stood in for Stelling multiple times, does an excellent job on Soccer Special in mid week with the same format and must be the favourite if they keep it in house.

I'll be sad to see him go. Saturday afternoons just won't be the same when I'm not at a match.

This, a very tough act to follow

The box ticking will now begin .

In which case.........Alex Scott!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Seems to me a straight swap: the boy Stelling back to Countdown, the witch Robinson up to Sky Sports

 

[Randy McNob]

ah yes, it must be a white middle aged male otherwise it's box ticking, fulfilling gender and / or race quotas and British existence is under threat

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dion 'Stairs Leading Up To The Bedrooms' Dublin would seem like a good shout IMHO. Always comes across well. Tho possibly a bit too matey with the current crop of old lags for it to happen. Shame

Someone with lower-league knowledge is essential. Clem could probably do a job, but I guess he's not diverse enough these days.

In other news, despite his disgusting past, I quite like Clinton Morrison. Comes across well, has a wry turn of phrase and IMO turns in some succinct analysis. He clearly enjoys what he's doing, I like his enthusiasm, whatever game he gets lumbered with.

I particularly enjoyed Clintons "game over" comment yesterday when Liverpool scored their second

Although to be fair to him, he did back track quite well second half and was quite complimentary about us.

That’s sad, who’s Jeff Stelling?

In fairness I gave up on my wonky stream when that 2nd goal went in, I was thinking exactly the same.

To be honest l can't think of anyone worse.
