Then why are the majority of football pundits, ex footballers. I couldn't form an opinion on how good a footballer was until seeing them in action.
I would have put money on Gary Neville making a rubbish pundit but he's turned out to be one of the better ones.
There's millions to be made from being a football pundit, so if you're a player and a TV company with money to spend comes knocking on your door. You'd be the fool if you turned them away, if you turn out to be rubbish. No problem, you've been payed a bundle of cash to give it a go and if you're B.T. (Although it's risky) a scatter gun approach may well unearth a few gems.
