As for Owen will they replace him or will they not want to admit they've made an error in the first place by hiring him? I'd imagine he's on big money too so how long will his contract be for? I'd even take Townsend over him!

Owen will continue to cover PL and FA Cup as he has another year on his contract but Champions League is new so perhaps they may try new options, and with so many games to cover they might use Owen for second choice games with Jake. We'll know soon enough.
As to Townsend, no better than Owen in my view, just a different type of annoying.
Mind you if you are drawing up a list of potential co-commentators not on SKY who would you pick after Gray? Sorry in danger of going way off topic.
P.S - La Liga UK Rights bidding gone to second round after SKY bid lower than before and BT showed interest. Would certainly increase the value of BT Sport Europe.
