The wife said to me the other night whilst watching the one show.. ‘is that an ex footballer on the sofa?’.. I asked how she could tell.. and she said he’d clearly had no media training, looked out of his depth abs spoke in a monotone voice with no charisma.
It’s ironic as I thought broadly the same the first time I saw him as a pundit.
i suspect his ‘out of his depth’ appearance on the one show is more to tick a diversity box as he has zero experience on current affairs shows on prime time telly so cannot be getting employed on experience or track record.
his constant employment via sports media though is still baffling me... he’s beyond boring to listen to and he never speaks with confidence. Surely there are better options out there....?
