Cos over time, she’s known to be naturally unintelligently outspoken

Can you you match her intelligence and football ability?

I love her naturally dark skin.... that's all am seeing. If I wanted I'd date her😎

There a lot of media tv stations in UK..you can apply for job there are be a football pundit..Ian wright is not the owner of those media tv stations

OLAADEGBU:
Ian Wright should cut his teeth managing a football team like the likes of Gary Neville and Thierry Henry before claiming to be a good pundit. If managing a football team especially at the highest level was easy all pundits would have been managers. Let Ian Wright go and manage the Jamaican National team and then come back as a pundit for real football fans to take him serious instead of dragging punditry in the women’s game.

not all players must be coach, so relax

The answer is very simple: she should start are own podcast

With the Internet at your fingertips, the sky is the limits.

She could start on Youtube, Twitch, Tiktok, X and others.

She's made a name for herself already. She would easily get a massive following on her first week online

MilestoneMillet:
I feel sorry for her that she has continued this attack, and she is obviously attacking the wrong person. What she ought to realise is there are limited opportunities extended to ethnic minorities in England, which has nothing to do with Ian Wright. If plenty opportunities abound, no one gets in each other's ways.

She is implying that there is a quota, and once they need a black commentator, Ian Wright snaps it up... ah...haha... There shouldn't be a quota for anything in a fair and just society.

Ian Wright is petty for not accepting her apology. You are right for saying that the racist ITV company is using this excuse to edge her out. She should know that ITV is a liberal left leaning company and that they have got a ‘useful idiot’ in Ian Wright to play their race card. Eniola should broaden her horizon and not restrict herself to broadcasting in England alone.

Q

Eniola would be better appreciated if she takes your advise on board.

She isn’t a strong pundit, and she isn’t particularly insightful either. That’s not a controversial claim — the evidence is everywhere. Her comedy analysis are easy to find. Punditry isn’t awarded on identity; it’s earned on ability. Michael Owen is also widely criticised as a poor pundit and doesn’t get the top jobs either. Ian Wright is a good pundit. He understands the game, communicates it well, and has done more for the women’s game than she who claims the moral high ground. Young fans don’t look up to token appointments (imagine if Ian was a white man - she'd be spitting feathers) — they look up to strong role models, and who clearly know what they’re talking about. Ian Wright ticks every box. And for the record, I’m not even an Arsenal fan.

The fact you guys can't even comment on sm without gpt's shows how dimwitted it's making people without em realizing. Imagine outsourcing even basic sm comments. Na wa.

OLAADEGBU:
For Ian Wright not to accept her apology only shows him to be crude and unforgiving. Ian Wright is only exposing his hatred for Africans, especially Nigerians. If you know you know and if you don’t get it forget about it.

She's British...she represented England not Nigeria....if na white man , u go label am racist ...but as e come b say na black man...u tirn am to e hate africans ... victim mentality

This social media world is going to destroy all of us. None will be spared. People say wacky stuff just to draw social media attention to themselves. At the end of the day it's all these contrived controversies are really about.

Who are they never heard of them before

Na because you be Indomie Pikin.

By the way, Ian Wright used to play for Arsenal. He had the highest goal record for Arsenal before Henry (Hornry) overtook him. He analyses football on UK media. He adopted another footballer called Shaun Wright Phillips who played for Chelsea, Man City, etc.

Aluko has Nigerian blood but played for England in the female team. Her brother Sone Aluko played for the Super Eagles instead.

Oya thank me.

What is wrong with u people...always playing the race card.. Aluko is a terrible pundit ... person wey talk say player score 18goals in 40 games averaging one goal per game .... she has fumbled multiple times during her punditry....reason she doesn't get jobs again..she blamed Wright, that men are taking up jobs in female football... but do u see men complain about women in mens sports doing ref , commentary and punditry.... I think every gender should have their own

Always choose your words carefully. No amount of apologies can unsay them.

Abe shut up. Na only we're money de una de like Hussle. Why you no go pundit for women sport since you about supporting women. Wetin una really know about ball sef?

you lack coherence and suggests a troubling absence of sound reasoning.

Just follow his comments carefully and see every reasons to disengage.

Good point.. There are other platforms across the world with bigger audience and opportunities.

Flangelo12:
Why are people always claiming she attacked Ian Wright without stating what exactly was said?

You no dey read abi you want people to spoon feed you information?

What she said and the fallout was mentioned in the very article attached to the thread and yet you are waiting for someone to distil it and spoon feed you?

OLAADEGBU:
She previously suggested that Ian was blocking female pundits from being given broadcasting opportunities 😬

This topic made me open the topic I have on my profile. I also made this comment on another thread for women in men's sports

SixSeven:
I don't care. I don't enjoy it. I was watching Chelsea's recent match against Napoli and I also saw other people also say the same thing. I don't care about political correctness. Super Sports has some female anchors and analysts, no problem but I don't want them for the men's football commentary. Women will bring in unnecessary controversy and distractions to our game, then they will play victim. Watch how Ẹni Aluko blamed Ian Wright for preventing women from their own sports and dominating it. They will spoil the sports for us. Just last year, you saw those female presenters on the pitch wearing boobs revealing clothes, women know how to draw the attention to themselves, we don't need that

I am sure if these organizers did a poll to their viewers asking them if they wanted a female commentator, they know what we want. It's just too much political correctness today and people feel hurt.

I love the FIFA women's world cup. I watch it even when people think it's a waste of time but I prefer men for men, women for women. Let's have sense and respect each other.
Thank you.

Your claim is like saying all of us on Nairaland should first prove ourselves in politics, entertainment or technology before we can contribute to issues. Ian has proven himself as a player. There's no need to manage a team if he doesn't want to. Not every pundit played the game, not every coach also played the game. So your analysis holds no water. Analysts are what they are, analysing events.

Ian is still of the old school stock so I am not surprised. They were trained to be respectful in their generation.

She's also a millennial but their set isn't as grilled as the old school prim and proper in discipline and respect. Ian's generation was trained in a way that you will see it in their manner and conduct. There are certain cues you see that you know they raised this one well, even in writing. If I tell a Gen Z to watch this video below and tell me what Ian did that was out of respect, they will struggle to find out.
