Alex Scott for MOTD role ( fav according to some reports) 19:04 - Nov 13 with 7112 viewsFrimleyBlue

I must admit I think she's brilliant tbh. Shame about some of the usual thoughts that go with it. I understand some of them ( ms Aluko for example) But on Alex I think she's perfect for the role.

She’d be fine and it doesn’t really matter. They only need someone to read out a few scripted wisecracks between the briefest of highlights and Shearer’s mind numbingly uninsightful analysis. And besides, most people probably watch it when they’re pissed.

I actually think she might make motd more watchable again with a bit more presentation which isn't just wise cracks and laughs. Some actual fair discussion about the games being shown.

I'm not a sexist but ....... I don't want to see Shearer in a short skirt trying to steal her limelight.

Everyone will just moan about her enunciation as has happened before.

It should be Mark Chapman.

I think she is just very bland and has been elevated beyond anything which her screen persona really warrants at this point.

No. She is absolutely awful. But that's just my opinion.

Haven’t watched it much for years tbh. Only this year a bit because of town. Linekers been there more than long enough and someone else deserves a chance. I do like Mark Chapman but realise he may not be what they want. Mind you it’s the format I don’t like rather than presenter, preferred the old main game format with goals from the rest rather a wish washy 5 minutes on each game.

Lets be honest, she ticks a lot of boxes. I don't mind her as much as some people do.

Do people actually sit there and watch them analyse everything/talk twaddle. I prefer to record (or watch on iPlayer) so I can fast forward it all.

Lol what a shout. I've hardly watched MOTD this past decade but Manish may be the man to reel me back in. Only drawback is he's another Leicester fan.

She seems quite down to earth and likeable as a person but I can’t say I find her to be a particularly slick broadcaster. I don’t think the host needs to have been a player at any level, I’d rather just have a really good presenter in the job tbh. I think Gabby Logan is superb personally.

Not for me. I just don't think she's a particularly good presenter. I don't see why some rate her so highly.

Chappers, or Logan would be better.

She can't even speak well.

I have nothing aginst her, but she's an awful presenter. Someon that can't even pronounce the end of words should not be presenting flagship programs.

But of course she ticks all the boxes, woman tick, black tick, gay tick

Now thats all great if she was good at her job, but i personally don't think she is and i would hate to think she is getting gigs based on ticking the boxes rather than actual merit.

And before anyone says i'm anti-woman presenter - Gabby Logan would be superb for the MOTD gig. A proper presenter. So was Hazel Irvine, they exist but Alex Scott is not one.

I'm not sure that's her strong point. There are better candidates, female and male.

Not sure why Colin Murray doesn't seem to get much TV work. He's superb on Radio 5 and hugely knowledgeable in comparsion to somone like Alex Scott.

Chappers is brilliant at the side piece shows like MOTD2 and Monday Night Club on 5 Live, they always seem to always hit a slightly more humourous light hearted note. I'd rather see him carry on with that - not sure the Lineker role suits him, as good as he is.

Dan Walker would be great but I don't think he's BBC anymore which I assume would rule him out. Gabby Logan otherwise.

What I like about Chapman is that he's not afraid to ask "normal person" questions, which someone who'd played professionally probably wouldn't think to ask. So in that sense I prefer a non-footballer as a presenter, and Logan would be my number 1.
