John Fendley and Jimmy Bullard are the current co-hosts and the final edition is expected to be broadcast on May 27. The light-hearted look at the game has evolved over the years and has been on air since 1995. The impending decision to cut Soccer AM at the end of this season - 10 more episodes - came as a shock to fans. With the axe looming on employees, Sky also say they are going into a period of consultation to discuss proposed changes. 'Our proposal would mean the creation of new roles, and the closing of some existing roles, and we are currently in a consultation period with our people.' There were numerous job cuts in the football department in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.Īnd on the fresh round of restructuring, a Sky spokesperson said: 'Our coverage of football is evolving to reflect the changing habits of our viewers and ensures we continue to deliver the best experience for customers,' He has vast experience in the game but will fear his time at Sky will be coming to an end. Shreeves' seniority within the ranks at Sky Sports will not necessarily protect him 'I'm not one of your daft, young players.'Īrsene Wenger also 'wanted to hit' Shreeves after he asked about mounting pressure and whether he would be sacked. 'The boy hardly speaks English, you're f***ing bang out of order. 'You and your f***ing questions, you're f***ing out of order,' he snarled, Shreeves explained. In his book, Cheers, Geoff! Tales from the Touchline, he wrote about Sir Alex Ferguson's fury at him questioning whether Cristiano Ronaldo dived.
His cut-and-thrust with the major figures in the game have made for occasionally awkward moments down the years, with Shreeves revealing a few anecdotes of run-ins. Longevity with Sky appears not to protect any current employees and Shreeves' exit would send a clear message that no jobs are safe. The process around the future of reporting jobs is separate to the decision to bring down the axe on Soccer AM. This is refuted by Sky, who claim the operation is about restructuring in a search for evolution and diversity. Sources told Sportsmail that the reporters had been asked to reapply for their jobs this week. Pictured here with Arsene Wenger, Shreeves has seen huge change over three decades
