Time for Gary and Alan to move on. They have bored the shit out of me for years. We need fresh new presenters. Alex Scott is nailed on to get MOTD when Lineaker goes, which can't be far off. He must be older now than what Jimmy Hill was when Des Lynam replaced him.What has age got to do with it? If he’s doing a good how old or young he is doesn’t come into it.

Did he not stipulate that he would only play central defender instead of his best position as full-back? If true, another example of the shit-show we were back then; allowing players to tell the manager where they would or would not play.
