Thinks the caf is 'wokeish'.
Seem an odd time of the season to bow out. Why not wait till the season ends? Not a month before.
Must be some reason.

Interesting. I must admit to being one of those who expected the opposite.Not a great pundit in terms of his thoughts on actual football. But had spoken eloquently and in support of gay players, attend gay rights parades etc so I will always respect him for that especially when it would be easy to assume he would think the opposite
They’ve marginalised him there too. He’s absolutely rubbish.He's not been used much for months. Been on Talksport more often.
He's 70 next week so probably planned to retire thenSeem an odd time of the season to bow out. Why not wait till the season ends? Not a month before.

Sometimes he sounded weirdly reactionary and old fashioned but he was also vegan and pro-gay rights. He's comes across like a stereotype but he does seem more interesting than that.Interesting. I must admit to being one of those who expected the opposite.
That said, I’m still delighted to hear this news. Off you jolly well feck, Mr Souness.
He'd finally chased Pogba out of England so he could retire gracefully.It's just not the same for him without Pogba this season.
Yeah he spoke really well there. Fair play.
He quit TalkSPORT after becoming a laughing stock. Couldn’t hack the backlash.They’ve marginalised him there too. He’s absolutely rubbish.
And what's worse was he would have it explained to him over and over, usually by Neville although I'm sure Keane did it once too, why Utd fans hate the Glazers and why it's total nonsense to claim they put any of their own money into the club and he'd just ignore it and parrot the same ill-informed bollocks whenever the topic came up.I'm surprised by how many comments have claimed he's a good pundit and we'll miss him when he's gone.
He has defended the Glazers on more than one occasion by saying that they "took a huge risk when buying United" and that United fans are only protesting against their owners because they're not challenging for the top honours anymore.
He clearly was ill-educated on the subject matter but has still felt the need to be staunch in his defence of the Glazers. And the less said about his weird agenda against Pogba, the better. Having to watch him come out with some proper tripe over the years has made for painful viewing. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
You must be on a wind up? The guy is a grade A bellend. Biased prick!Sorry to hear he is retiring. Was a superb player and I enjoyed hearing his views on football. No idea why he appears to be disliked in here.
Really? Never knew that, my doctor has prescribed a low sourness diet so I avoid him but fair play, because yeah, like you say, not exactly what I'd expect!Not a great pundit in terms of his thoughts on actual football. But had spoken eloquently and in support of gay players, attend gay rights parades etc so I will always respect him for that especially when it would be easy to assume he would think the opposite
Exactly. He struck me as a bitter old man who is too stubborn to admit when he's wrong. Same thing when calling Casemiro a 'steady Eddie' after United signed him. Neville called him out on it a couple of months ago and Souness refused to admit he got it wrong.And what's worse was he would have it explained to him over and over, usually by Neville although I'm sure Keane did it once too, why Utd fans hate the Glazers and why it's total nonsense to claim they put any of their own money into the club and he'd just ignore it and parrot the same ill-informed bollocks whenever the topic came up.
He was a fecking shite pundit and I'm glad to see he's gone.

You can justify that if you're Talksport or a YouTube fan channel but you'd expect better from Sky Sports as they charge their audience a pricey subscription fee. For that kind of money you'd expect their pundits to do their research before going on-air, and maybe even offer the occasional tactical analysis, instead of continuing to employ dinosaurs like Souness so that they can go on the wind up for the bants.It is what it is, producers target big reputation ex-players who is clearly biased or a fan of the ex-club.
To gain what? To gain wind ups, banter and controversial takes on players on their rival clubs. It worked.
Anyway, good riddance Greame Souness! Enjoy your retirement!
Didn't he get a heart attack or something? Looks good for 70He's 70 next week so probably planned to retire then
Like Roy Keane?You can justify that if you're Talksport or a YouTube fan channel but you'd expect better from Sky Sports as they charge their audience a pricey subscription fee.

No wind upYou must be on a wind up? The guy is a grade A bellend. Biased prick!
He is one of the best pundits out there.
Pogba is feckedHe’s joined an Italian football TV channel. Their equivalent to Sky pretty much.
Yep. Keano is hardly my favourite pundit either but at least he's not defended parasitic owners on multiple occasions. He usually sticks to topics that he's well-equipped to comment on.Like Roy Keane?
Most ex players are absolutely clueless. Michael Owen has a whole list of stupid things he has said including liking a player with 2 feet (should hope so). Scholes, Jenas, Richards. Countless names of players who don’t do research and go on air just to launch click bait style rants or primary school level analysis.
The number of times since then where he's used faux-outrage to say things like "Mourinho could've caused a riot with his celebration" or "I could've been seriously injured from an empty beer can thrown by United fans" has lost him all credibility. If you're going to incite a riot in a Turkish Derby (and continue to stand by actions) then you can't pretend to offended by far more trivial incidents.I don’t particularly care for the man as a pundit but he has my respect for the flag incident with Galatasaray and actually coming out of that alive.
Souness was bang out of order with the flag. Why respect that?Like Roy Keane?

Souness is just another one who said too much although he did bring up valid points at times. I don’t particularly care for the man as a pundit but he has my respect for the flag incident with Galatasaray and actually coming out of that alive.
Yeh he has had heart issues.Didn't he get a heart attack or something? Looks good for 70
