Good riddance. Pass go. Do not collect 200
She was the one who claimed that Pep only made a bid for Rice, in order to help out his mate Arteta.

Writing was on the wall for her. Good riddance.
Hopefully she finds a career path which still involves football.
Maybe she could become a football and get kicked down the road. One of the most unlikeable people in the media.

If you listen to the actual audio, what she said was not that bad.
She should have been wise to cover her bases but I think she was making a general harmless statement but forgot to add a disclaimer for her Ian Wright bit. It was fleeting comment on Ian Wright and immediately jumped on larger point of male pundits taking female punditry jobs.
The quotes look worse on paper but the actual conversation has the tone, you can hear her contemplate etc.
I would have felt bad if someone lost her career if she was anyone else, without her history.
Am I also right in thinking that it was the interviewer who brought up Wright specifically, rather than Aluko deciding to bring his name into the convo?
To be fair, after hearing the whole segment, she was set up a little. The host kept repeating Ian Wright’s name and Eluko took the bait.
If this were her only crime, you’d probably ignore it.
Roy Keane is funny, great timing.
