Can't blame BT Sport for wanting him, he is the best pundit around.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Here is the latest news on Sky Sports 5.
http://www.theguardian.com/business/...5-broadband-bt
BSkyB falls on Sky Sports 5 launch and free broadband offer
Investors sell satellite broadcaster and rival BT after plans for new channel emerge
BSkyB has launched a new attacking move against BT but seems to be scoring a bit of an own goal as far as the City is concerned.
The satellite broadcaster has unveiled Sky Sports 5, which will show European football, but crucially, customers who sign up for the new channel will be offered free broadband for two years. The move seems designed to take on BT's growing presence in sport as well as attempting to attract more broadband customers to Sky.
The move has damaged the share prices of both BT and BSkyB. BT is down 11.4p at 394.7p while BSkyB is 12p lower at 864p. Analysts at Berenberg issued a sell note on BSkyB, saying:
We do not see the [new] channel as a driver of customer growth or upgrades, but regard the aggressive broadband offer as confirmation that Sky is upping the ante against a resurgent BT.
The new channel will be the home of European qualifiers, Champions League, Spanish and Dutch live football, plus a host of associated content. The most important, clearly, is the Champions League, the rights for which BSkyB has for only one more year. From August 2015, these rights will be exclusively held by BT: we expect the company to focus on using these rights to further drive market share gain and revenue growth in its consumer business.
With only Dutch football being incremental to the existing offer – the other rights were already held by BSkyB – we do not regard the new channel as likely to drive either upgrades to Sky Sports, or incremental TV customers. However, with customers required to register for the new channel (from 12 June), this gives BSkyB the opportunity to sign up households to its latest broadband promotion: free for two years.
As highlighted previously, BSkyB's average revenue per user has flattened out, despite record new product sales. This reflects increased discounting. The latest deal is more aggressive than usual, however, being two years rather than one. Another current offer is for half price TV + free broadband for a year. We thus expect Sky to continue to post strong broadband adds, even if the financial benefit does not come through.
We retain our sell rating and price target of 680p. As indicated in previous research, we see the company as under pressure in its TV business as a result of accelerating rights cost inflation, while the maturity of the broadband market means that Sky must either face lower gross margins or declining market share. In our view, the plan for "Sky Europe" indicates that management, even if not admitting it publicly, understands that the UK business is under pressure.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
And yet this site reports that the BT Group shares slip on rising competition from BSkyB.
