Jermaine Jenas won’t commentate on Man Utd clash for TNT Sports after BBC sacking

Jermaine Jenas was fired by the BBC, and TNT Sports has not yet commented on his long-term status. However, the former midfield player will not be working for them this weekend.

Following his dismissal from the BBC due to inappropriate behaviour charges, Jermaine Jenas will be taking a temporary leave of absence from television.

The BBC fired Jenas on Thursday due to his “improper behaviour” and “workplace conduct.” After the BBC purportedly received a complaint regarding the presenter’s text messages sent last month, more women have apparently come forward.

Jenas expressed his displeasure with the situation on talkSPORT, saying, “I’m going to have to let the lawyers deal with it.” We all know that there are two sides to every tale. That’s all I have to say at this time.

The 41-year-old former midfielder for Tottenham and England will no longer be a presenter on The One Show and a pundit on Match of the Day. The broadcaster has not yet commented, therefore it is now unclear what his future holds with TNT Sports.

But one thing is certain: Jenas won’t be employed by TNT Sports this weekend. One of the most well-known co-commentators on the show, Jenas covered Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Ipswich during the inaugural weekend. However, she will not be there for Brighton vs. Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.

Presenter Lynsey Hipgrave will lead TNT Sports’ coverage of the 12.30 p.m. kickoff, which will also feature pundits Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole as well as pitchside reporter Jules Breach. Ally McCoist is contributing as a co-commentator alongside Darren Fletcher.

For the past few years, Jenas has been employed by TNT Sports as a pundit and co-commentator for its Champions League, Europa League, and Premier League games. They also hire him to host their coverage of Formula E.

In their £1 million Hertfordshire home, Jenas, Ellie Penfold, his 2011 bride, and their three children—two daughters, Geneva and Olivia, and a newborn son, Jacob—live. Regarding the BBC’s decision to fire him from a position that earned £190,000 to £194,999 year for his football work as well as an unreported income for the One Show, he is currently speaking with his legal counsel.

A BBC spokesman issued the following statement on Thursday: “We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line up.” It happened after Alex Kay-Jelski, the company’s director of sport, sent a staff email at 3:39 p.m. on Thursday informing them that Jermaine Jenas had left the BBC.

The staff WhatsApps were instantly buzzing with what was going on, an insider told the Mirror. Although there had been rumours that something was going on, managers had kept the probe under wraps.

The BBC is currently operating in an extremely delicate environment due to the several controversies that have recently plagued the organisation. Should there be any indication of misbehaviour at work, they had to act with extreme force.

(4-2-3-1) Ugarte first Premier League start, Confirmed Manchester United line up vs Crystal Palace – The Most strongest lineups ever

Published

on

In the Premier League on Saturday night, Manchester United plays Crystal Palace.

United is confident going into the match after winning 3-0 against Southampton the previous weekend and a dominant 7-0 over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount’s return to full training at Carrington earlier in the week has given Erik ten Hag’s team momentum.

In the Carabao Cup, Crystal Palace also advanced to the next round, but their start to the Premier League has been disappointing as they have only managed two points from four games.

BREAKING: THEEE Arsenal’s major starters including the only player who has been impressive this season are not in contention to face Man City today tomorrow as leaked information surface online

Published

on

On Sunday, Arsenal will go to the northwest to play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a match that will determine who finishes top of the Premier League league. William Saliba has cautioned the Gooners not to get ahead of themselves; winning the league will need more than just defeating City, even though winning that game increases the Gunners’ chances of winning the league.

In their road match versus City during the Premier League run-in last year, Arsenal and the defending champions drew 0-0. Following that tie with City, Arsenal’s detractors asserted that they lost the title match because they chose to play for a draw rather than a win, which would have given them three points and won the league by a single point.

The Gunners haven’t defeated City at the Etihad Stadium in nine years, but on Sunday they have the opportunity to disprove the doubters.

For this weekend’s heavyweight encounter, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should have a stronger team despite the absences of Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino. Hopefully, Kevin De Bruyne’s injury will prevent him from playing for the Citizens.

Arsenal’s defensive star Saliba has expressed the team’s resolve to win on Sunday, but even a victory over City will not guarantee them the title of league winners. Saliba says that beating City on Sunday is undoubtedly in the cards, but he also says that the club needs to work hard to play consistently after that.

(4-3-3): Mikel Arteta excludes FOUR first team players from the squad to face Man City tomorrow to create room for new signings and academy players

On Sunday, Arsenal will play Manchester City, their likely title challengers, at the Etihad Stadium, capping up maybe the most difficult week of the team’s season.

Even though this big match takes place just a month into the new campaign, it is impossible to overstate how important an away victory in Manchester would be. Although Arsenal has not lost to the Cityzens in their last three meetings, they have not triumphed at the Etihad since Pep Guardiola became manager.

Since Brentford in November 2022, no visiting club has actually taken all three points at City’s stronghold. Without a doubt, it’s a difficult location to visit.

The visitors are without skipper Martin Odegaard and still carrying a very long list of injuries. Here is how we think Arteta’s Arsenal starting lineup will appear on Sunday in an attempt to avoid losing. Arteta may go all Tony Pulis on Sunday.

Arsenal vs. Man City lineup prediction
Potential starting lineup for Arsenal:
Raya; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Trossard; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber
