Just how did he get a presenting role on the one show? Kids go to stage school for years and he swans in as an average footballer turned presenter...

It's a warm up job before the ease him into the MOTD chair instead of Linekar whose salary and Twitter is an issue for the new DG, and who could earn substantially more elsewhere anyway. |  | | |

Peter Crouch too in the summer. In fact, whatever happened to 'Crouch on the Couch' or whatever it was that brought about that legendary thread of some years back? |  |

Less of a mystery than how he got 21 England caps. |  | | |

That's true too, although never watched him on his show.
Funny world we live in when ex footballers become TV presenters.
Is that true Clive, about Lineker and Jenas being lined up to replace him?
Speaking of football presenters... Did anyone see the recent photos of Greavsie? So sad what that disease has done to him. | |

Like Jermaine Jenas as a pundit,
MOTD2 on Sunday night said Eze was 'brilliant' and puts a 'smile on his face watching him play', highlighted how he breaks the midfield line and is taking pressure of Zaha and even getting Benteke on the score sheet!
Jermaine, imagine how we felt after he led us out of the joyless football desert for the previous 3 or 4 seasons! | | | |

Known faces with a potential fan base already and also considered experts.
Problem with ex-players presenting footy shows is they are rarely critical of the current players as its all bit of an old boys club.
I really like that Spanish presenter Guillem Balagué, when he was on he used to criticise the players club and all, and it was constructive not a bunch of mates talk like "he will be disappointed with that". And instead, we got "that tackle deserved a red it was reckless and the manager will very angry with him, he may not play again this season." |  |

and to be fair to him, did accept some of the blame on behalf of the 'media' for the farce that is VAR, last Sunday on MOTD2. | | | |

I'm a fan of Jenas as a pundit. Not very polarising and a bit vanilla, but comes across as affable and young enough to relate to a lot of the current players. Prefer him as a presenter than a pundit though. Nothing tops Neville/Carra on MNF. |  | | |

My bug bear is less about footballers getting this gig, but more about the fact that their may be an "education" route priming people for this type of career. What a waste of time and cost. FFS, read a autocue, speak coherently, smile and engage in conversation.
You either can or you can't. Is there really classes to do this? |  |

He's quite good in the role, the Match of the Day X show he does is really good |  | | |

I thin k I must be in the minority then who actually think he's pretty good at being a broadcaster. |  |

I thought it was Andy Hinchcliffe that was being lined up for for the MOTD gig

I think he has more potential in presenting than he has with being a footballer
He is an inoffensive and affable presenter and don't mind him at all on the box tbf.
Footballers today get media training from a young age if they near or at the top level and seems Jermaine was paying attention to those chats perhaps more than those to improve his football game
Not very controversial and a pc appointment - I think he got a decent career ahead of him in tv myself... |  |

I like Neville as a presenter but Carragher I can't help thinking about when he was filmed gobbing at a car when the driver goaded him about Liverpool losing to Man Utd and his phlegm hit the 14 year old girl in the back seat.
Was suspended from Sky for two weeks
Should have lost all hope of a lucrative contract with Sky - but got away with it with little more than a slight slap..
Lost respect for him since that and hate seeing him on the screen ever since
He is bit painful at best times anyhow !!!!! | |

Totally agree, absolutely disgusting thing to do. Keys & Gray lost their jobs for a lot less n comparison. |  | | |

You can hear Balagué most weeks on the weekly Euro Leagues podcast (it used to be a separate podcast but is now part of the BBC Football Daily podcast). |  |

As mentioned above, his criticism of pundits and them media for their demands around consistency and then disliking VAR was very good. I just cant get over the fact that he still looks like he's 14. | | | |

PC appointment in that he is not divisive in anyways good or bad and like others said quite vanilla as a presenter ie inoffensive and calm and assured way speaking.. etc | |

Right yeah get what you mean. Think sometimes people use PC (sometimes rightly) where someone gets a job they don't deserve, which in the context of what we were all saying didn't make sense so was a bit confused makes sense now thanks 
I like him comes across way better than most footballers. | | | |

| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |
