Alan Brazil has been criticised for his comments on women's football on talkSPORT, with some listeners calling for the former Scotland striker to be sacked by the radio station
TalkSPORT presenter Alan Brazil has been labelled a "proper dinosaur" after suggesting fans aren't interested in women's football.
"With the greatest respect, when you talk about Manchester United," he began. "Women's football is getting more important now but when you talk about Manchester United, this is the men's we're talking about, the Premier League when we're talking about mission impossible, not the women's." "No, the bigger picture is fans want to see Manchester United in the Premier League challenging. That's the bigger picture. It's not that important compared to the bigger picture. I'm not going to sit here and lie because it's not."
Aherne added: "That's unbelievable from you. You're the one with the granddaughter playing football, listen to yourself. Right now, that's important."
