Merson only continues to be employed by Sky because of his personal issues, I'm certain of it. He actually came across as an ok bloke during a couple of programs he's been in that focus on said issues. But as a pundit, he's beyond parody.
Yeah I have thought that for a while too. All the other changes at Sky but he's still around. I think if he didn't have that job and being around football he'd be in a bad place and the company know it.
I've come to like him on a personal level. Especially as the guy who I used to think was the sensible one on that panel when it came to football chat has turned out to be an utter cretin in every other facet of life (Matt Le Tissier).
