Clive Tyldesley "Sacked".

I can see why he’s put something like that out there if potential employers are now asking him if he’s facing health issues etc.0
-
By the way, this is his replacement before you get too excited.19

Does this mean that they have sacked his idiot co host Hoddle as well?0

So he's not actually been sacked. And it sounds like he will still be commentating for ITV.
So what's the story then?

I have just three words to summarise my thoughts on Clive Tyldesley:
“Cushion faced prick.“
😎1 -
I really find it hard to watch any football on ITV with Clive commentating I find him infuriating, I welcome the change.7
-
I heard old complaints re-surfaced from the Fergie era. Clive made staff feel uncomfortable because he'd get inappropriate boners whenever United were playing2

Blimey has the guy shat on everyones pillows or something?
Why the hatred? I dont feel passionately one way or the other over any football commentator personally! Bit OTT.3 -
They’re taking him off the England games.Off_it said:So he's not actually been sacked. And it sounds like he will still be commentating for ITV.
So what's the story then?He’ll be there number two guy which means he’ll get the joy of commentating on games like Finland v Russia at the Euros.0 - Sponsored links:

In all seriousness, I personally find his commentary style patronising, overly opinionated, fawns endlessly over ‘celebrity‘ players, unnatural (in that he’s very scripted as opposed to reactive to events), trivia obsessed, thinks he’s amusing while being anything but, tries too hard to be ‘your mate having a chat’ while often rattling on about fuck all and passing moral judgement on anything that doesn’t fit his view.DamoNorthStand said:Blimey has the guy shat on everyones pillows or something?

But this only contributes to why I dislike him so much.The reason I always refer to him as a ‘Cushion faced prick’ is because he has repeatedly, like a prick, made ‘comic’ references to how players look (examples being Luke Chadwick, Ronaldinho, Peter Beardsley etc) in his ‘look at how funny I am’ way, while being apparently blissfully unaware of his own distinct lack of supermodel looks and looking like he could be the illegitimate offspring of the aforementioned cushion and Bungle Bear.He’s a cushion faced prick.

It’s life always someone younger breathing down your neck!!
Shit response from him as he’s still got his job and presume salary!0 -
Made a long statement about how disappointed he is and that he won’t be making a statement!!0
-
Can't say I love or hate his commentating really but what a weird statement to make, particularly with what's going on in the country right now. Who does he think will give a shit with his predicament of having to commentate on the 3rd place play off at the next Euros instead of the final. In fact he probably has done more damage to his future opportunities at ITV by making that statement.6

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.0
-
Not wanting to put the boot in on a man who's down but add me to list of people not liking his commentary. He seems like a nice guy but he hates Spurs with a passion.
If I turn on the official international PL stream for a 3pm ko and he is commentating on Spurs, I tend to switch streams for NBC coverage now.0 -

LMAO Unless you've got insider info I think you're overreacting a bit,BrentfordAddick said:Sorry but what a prick. 22 years in the entertainment industry is a hell of a good run. He gets well paid to fly around the world watching football. Gets him a decent garden. Not even sacked, just doing the semi final not the final. He could say nothing, put out a jokey tweet asking if Sam Matterface can sort him two together for Villa on Sunday but he does this stupid whoa is me thing. Same moan that that prick from 5 Live Alan Green came up with.
At least Motson admitted that he was fed up travelling and was happy to carry on working wherever. (he's odd, worked with him a bit, hates foreign food and is amazingly nervous before a broadcast).

I struggled with Motson and Davies, and the shocking Alan Green on Radio 5 who thought his personal views mattered.
Steve Wilson who commentated on the Mendonca wonder show at Wembley was/is superb.
Clive Tyldesley's voice was fine, and becoming a number 2 at 65, seems a good idea as folk began to feel he was the reason England lost big games.
1 -
Way he used to say "and it's Wayne Rooooooney... Really irritated me, I was delighted when Rooney retired for that reason.
Think he said his name more then anything else during games.0 -
65 and not short of a few bob?
He should just move over gracefully and give the younger generation a chance.0 -
What used to annoy me was any England free kick in the opposition half and he would pipe up 'Beckham territory....'1
