Yep, it'll be him, if Agnew is to be directly replaced.

Though as a previous poster has mentioned, the 5Live correspondents for other sports were not formally replaced when they departed, i.e. Cornelius Lysaght, Mike Costello, James Allen, to name but three.

Whilst listening to clips of the Rangers v Celtic game last weekend, it dawned on me that there's another BBC sports correspondent that hasn't been replaced; that being Roddy Forsyth, formerly the Scottish football correspondent, who stood down last year due to being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

For many years, his voice was the soundtrack to many major Scottish football games, for club and country. Last weekend's Old Firm game had Vicki Sparks behind the mic (with Pat Nevin alongside her) for at least the second time this season.

An outsider feels like a good choice in these circumstances. Hopefully he gets the opportunity to undo some of the damage done during Slaters tenure.

Agree that an outsider is needed. But no broadcasting experience at all (whether in the boardroom or in production or on-air) feels like a red flag to me.

On a less serious point, am i the only one who sees an uncanny resemblance to a younger Lothar Matthäus?

Probably time to book an eye test Rhys.

Bit of a rarity for a weekday Match of the Day to be on BBC Two after Newsnight, rather than on BBC One after the late news.

A change in the standard weekday running order policy as well. With Tuesday's only fixture, Arsenal v. Chelsea, being essential in the title race, the highlights of that game was shown after the highlights of the other title influencing match, Everton v. Liverpool. The usual policy has all Wednesday matches shown first then all of Tuesday's action.
