I have to get this off my chest having foolishly devoted three hours of my time to Sky's final transfer day coverage. It was such utter garbage. Ignorant presenters with the obligatory dumb blonde or two obsessed only with Man U, Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea etc. Gormless reporters smiling inanely outside grounds, freezing to death or bored out of their minds, repeating the same things again and again. All interspersed with dreadful advertisement breaks.
Broadcasting at its very lowest bar with a bizarre group of pundits made up of ex footballers like Kris Boyd and Clinton Morrison who have nothing to offer bar guffawing amongst themselves from time to time like thick schoolboys. Its bad enough when they put on a match these days but yesterday evening was truly dreadful.
Sky need to look in the mirror and realise just how poor this all is. Football supporters are more intelligent than they seem to believe and should be provided with a far more thoughtful and insightful presentation. But I predict things will continue as they are, full of false glitter and glamour and lacking any substance whatsoever. Much like the football world itself right now they reflect the superficiality, vanity, greed and sheer folly that has ruined much of the game. And now to add to this mess we have the Saudis and Qataris throwing bucket loads of money at anything that moves and can kick a ball. Clubs are toys for the boys. The inflationary spiral has only just begun. £150m for a 31 year old Salah and £1.5 million a week. And supposedly prepared to go to £200 million. Bribery and corruption writ large.
Ok that's it! COYW
