Jordan labelled her not 'particularly enlightening, illuminating, engaging or charismatic' as a pundit directly to her face.
He added that he didn't feel Aluko 'comes across as particularly likeable' and told her: 'The language that you use, Eni, is to me steeped in a sense of entitlement.
'I mean, the sheer weight of the entitlement that you seem to believe that you have would re-sink the Titanic.
I think you've been quite fortuitous. I think because of initiatives like DEI, they've allowed people to be put into positions in the men's game that I don't think they've merited and now that sort of seeds an attitude that you become a stalwart in the women's game.
'And I listened to your observations about Ian, and Ian Wright is in the Ian Wright business.... Ian is not in any shape or form obligated to provide any support structure for you or to give you a sense of entitlement. And your position now as a broadcaster will be determined by the value of you.
'And the fact that people potentially aren't booking you now should give you pause for thought about why they might not be.'
She now claims the reason she isn’t working is because she told ITv she is stepping back from broadcasting for a while  |  | | |  |

What an utter pr1ck he is.
Thats not owning, it's bullying and proving her right about sexism. She was wrong about Wright though. |  |

A thread on which tetchris commented with "She’s no oil painting that’s for sure." which makes one wonder why tetchris has started another thread on it. [Post edited 12 Feb 0:04]

That's the thing innit. Aluko is a rubbish pundit but Jordan is also a massive prick. |  |

Jordan is a cock and has one of those faces I'd never tire of punching.
However Aluko is an absolute dimwit who is on my telly to do nothing more than tick a box. Talented footballer so I hear, but the drivel she comes out with should make broadcasters feel embarrased for hiring her
"Richarlison has a great record, scored 19 goals in 40 appearances, I mean do the maths on that, it's 1 goal a game pretty much"

The only vague point I can muster in her defence, Alan Shearer has been a pundit for at least 20 years now, despite never knowingly being informed, expert or entertaining whilst also being about as blandly white and bloke-y as you can get.
Had she gone for him rather than Ian Wright(who's been an outspoken champoion of women's football and also not a bloke to take racism lying down) you might think she had half a point.
Simon's Jordan's vague hinting around 'diversity quotas' kinda of ignores the fact that the likes of Shearer and Mark Larewnson have held down cushy jobs for years despite offering far less than even Garth Crooks. [Post edited 12 Feb 0:43]

Hold fire, Lawrenson, who I was never a fan of, retired years ago. Shearer is fine as a pundit ( and having met him seems a nice bloke).
I've no idea what your line "blandly white and bloke-y means" but it probably sounds good to people who really care about approval from strangers on the Internet, so all the best. |  | | |

Fair play to Simon Jordan, not like he’s said it behind her back. She chose to go on there and knew full well what it would be like. |  |

She may well not be a great pundit but there’s a lot of former footballers who are also poor. Are they also box ticking?
As for the dimwit comment - she’s a qualified lawyer so I doubt whether she is indeed that. [Post edited 12 Feb 8:04]

Shearer gets a free pass because he has scored loads of goals, he seems to do no research on anyone and offers very little on most things I would say |  |

The default is he was England Captain and won the Premiership, played against the best players in the world. Has experience. But not a great pundit with technical analysis.
Marcel Dessaiy would come to the same studio and do a deep tactical analysis and pickup pn far more in the game on motd. |  |

Indeed, this is the key point. There's lots of abysmal white male pundits who get no stick whatsoever from people like the OP. I wonder what it is about a Black woman giving her views on the men's game that triggers these people so much? |  |

I don't particularly like either Simon Jordan or Eni Aluko, but if you find joy in seeing someone "get owned" on a sensationalist radio station you are a very sad individual. |  |

Shearer may be a nice bloke, but he’s very much in the same camp as Aluko in only having a job because of his successful football career. He offers no insight to the viewer. |  |

Jordan said it as it was. She went on, he told her some home truths. She is totally wrong about Ian Wright. |  | | |

Shearer makes me laugh with his analysis.
"X passes to Y. Y passes to Z. Z shoots and scores"
Yea thanks Alan, glad you were here to break it down for us. |  |

Being a rubbish pundit is a long established football tradition.
Mark Lawrenson was paid good money to do it for decades. | | | |

Michael Owen is the best example. You'd think he'd never actually played football before. |  |
