Alex Scott will take over as the presenter of Football Focus after Dan Walker announced he was standing down at the end of the season. The 36-year-old former Arsenal and England full-back made more than 200 club appearances during her playing career, earned 140 caps for her country and represented Great Britain at London 2012. Alex becomes the show's first permanent female host in its 47-year history and spoke to BBC Sport about how it feels to bring in a new era in front of one million weekly viewers. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57096067 Castro will probably go thermonuclear.
Was never going to be anyone else, ticks everyone of the modern day boxes that the BBC have to tick Edit... as some have decided to twist what I've said, I do also think she's a good pundit
Apart from being one of the most intelligent and articulate pundits who knows her stuff, some people will still insist she’s only on the BBC because of her race and gender. These are the same people who whinge about others constantly bringing up race.
She's a decent presenter with experience in the relevant field. Suggesting otherwise is a bit **** on your part.
FF as been ****e for years,can't see it improving whoever got the job,just about every pundit on bbc and sky etc are rubbish.....swan n burns could do better.......
I'm not suggesting anything, I think she's a good pundit, but that doesn't change the fact that it ticks all the modern boxes the BBC have to tick.
Well, she’s leaps and bounds better than Souness and Redknapp (both sr. and jr.). Being a decent player or coach doesn’t make a good pundit.
Good choice. Seriously. She knows her stuff and comes across very well. Is there actually anything wrong with saying that she is also very 'photogenic'? It's fine for women to say "he's fit", "nice bit of eye candy" or whatever (yep, those were the more upmarket comments!).
