ALEX Scott’s BBC future is in jeopardy over a perceived “lack of support” surrounding Football Focus. She was “deeply hurt” by their response after she was blamed for falling viewing figures – prompting the star to make a complaint to bosses last year.
The ex-England footballer, 40, is now “considering other offers” – including a possible move to America – as her contract comes up for renewal next year.
It comes as it was revealed last night that she will not be in the presenting line-up for the BBC’s Children In Need next month for the first time in four years.
“There are no guarantees she will be with the BBC next summer – her contract is up for renewal and she is in talks for a raft of other exciting projects.
“Football Focus turns 50 this year and Alex is now seriously contemplating moving on from the show.
“Last year she was hugely hurt by unfair criticism about falling viewing figures – and felt she was thrown under a bus. The viewing figures were not as reported and she feels no-one backed her up and issued the correct viewing figures.
Male football fans have never warmed to Alex’s football punditry. Her voice is a warning siren for very little footballing substance. She is a long way from Ally McCoist.
