To tie or knot..? 5:08pm on 22 Apr 2008 It's an interesting idea that people read so much into what presenters wear when appearing on highlights or live shows. I have to admit that when I heard Ian Wright's comments I thought that his criticism of the 'jacket and tie' format he was criticising not what his fellow presenters wore but the way that the program was presented?

Correct me if I'm wrong but Wright was a favourite amongst fans because he was different and didn't fit the mould of most presenters. Sometimes he was a little over the top and biased in his views but overall he was a refreshing change from the repetitive analysis of goals and offside decisions offered by the likes of Lee Dixon and Gavin Peacock.

Fans now have access to more mediums through which to view football and make their own decisions on key occurences and debates. It's fantastic to have a professional view on these and the likes of Alan Hanson and Gordon Strachan are two individuals that always seem to offer pertenant and incisive points of analysis. However, too much viewers are offered the same repetitive half time and post match analysis. They now crave something different.

Similar to how Andy Gray changed Sky Sports analysis with his on screen graphics i think that the BBC needs to offer something, different, more eye catching and most of all more interesting in order to hold viewer attention.

I still like it when they wear ties though ;-)
