Will Motd Introduce New Talking Heads?

************William Hill MOTD….MONEYBAGS’ DERBY SPECIALS**********

WILL MOTD INTRODUCE NEW TALKING HEADS?
WITH Match of the Day coming under some criticism for the recent quality of its punditry, William Hill have opened a book on a number of potential replacements for the existing panel, offering odds about whether they will be invited to guest/appear on the show before the end of the season. And Hills reckon that the ever newsworthy Robbie Savage is the most likely to turn up on the sofa – quoting him at 5/2 to do so. ‘You’d imagine that if the powers that be at MOTD are looking to audition for new pundits the best way of doing so would be by trying them out on the programme – so we’ve made Savage favourite, closely followed by Martin O’Neill and Phil Brown, both of whom would appear to have few other things to be doing if asked!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
