      And the veteran broadcaster has reportedly wasted no time in looking for a new gig.
      The Telegraph claim Stelling has been sounded out by both Amazon and the Beeb.
      It’s claimed Amazon chiefs are eager to have him head up their growing footie coverage.
      They will, however, have to wait a while to secure Stelling’s services as he must first see out a period of gardening leave before he can join one of Sky’s immediate rivals.
      Stelling emotionally announced his departure from Sky on air in late April.
      The beloved broadcaster received a thunderous applause from the in-studio pundits and the camera crew.
      He said: “I’ve been at Sky for more than 30 years and loved every moment of my time as part of the Soccer Saturday team.
      “It is now the right time to move on and give Sky Sports viewers a break from my relentless rants, bad gags and over-the-top celebrations of Hartlepool United goals.

      “It’s been a lot of fun – for me at least!”
      Sky paid a touching tribute to the now-departed Stelling after his departure was announced.
      Director of Football, Gary Hughes, said: “After a brilliant 30-plus year career at Sky, including over 25 years as the much-loved host of Soccer Saturday, Jeff Stelling is leaving Sky Sports at the end of the current football season.
      “Jeff has been synonymous with Saturday afternoon football for decades, exciting and enthusing football fans everywhere.
      “His unique broadcasting ability and passion for the game has made Soccer Saturday an unmissable fixture for fans and has won him a multitude of awards.

      Logan Paul tapped out in a submission to Israel Adesanya
      And Paul found himself in some bother after Adesanya locked in a triangle choke, forcing the American to tap out.
      That was after the New Zealander, 33, and UFC featherweight king Volkanovski, 34, penned a deal with Paul and KSI’s Prime.
      Paul had fans stunned at his body transformation after posing for a picture with the pair of UFC champs.
      He has always been in good shape having wrestled at a good level in high school.

      But he truly transformed his body when turning to boxing in 2018 to fight online rival KSI, which ended in a draw.
      They then went professional a year later for their rematch, which KSI won by split-decision.
      The two are now good friends and business partners following the launch of their drinks company Prime.
      Paul, 28, has boxed once since when he took American legend Floyd Mayweather the distance in their exhibition bout in June 2021.

      The American was due to return to the ring in January but a knee injury while wrestling for the WWE left him sidelined.
      Paul last wrestled at WrestleMania 39, losing to Seth Rollins and it was later revealed his WWE contract was extended.
      But he has also teased another boxing match after recovering from his knee injury.

      Doué, 17, had been brought on to replace Lovro Majer in the 69th minute.
      But 18 minutes later he then found himself being substituted off for brother Guéla Doué.

      “When you say it once, it’s normal. Twice, it’s one time too many.

      He added: “It does not mean I don’t have great trust in him and that he’ll fail to make a great career.

      Premier League ‘ready to DITCH Sky Sports and BT Sport and show football in new way in dramatic shake-up’

      by

      THE Premier League are ready to ditch Sky Sports and BT Sport in a huge shake-up to football broadcasting, reports claim. Sky Sports have been at the centre of the Premier League since its inception in 1992 and have helped fuel the huge financial boom that has made England’s top-flight the richest division in the world.

      While BT have become an increasingly bigger player in recent years and boast Champions League football among plenty of other packages.
      But when it comes to domestic football, the broadcasting world could be on the brink of change.
      The Mirror report that the Premier League are prepared to leave behind their traditional broadcasters and show games on their own platform.
      If this change were to happen, it would not be immediate.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The current TV deal runs until 2025 after a £5.1bn deal was signed in 2021.
      The Mirror claim that only one more multi-year deal might be signed before the Prem “cut out the middle men”.
      It would be a radical change to broadcasting with fans currently having to fork out on multiple subscriptions to follow all the live games.
      Sky normally show four or five games across a weekend while BT Sport have Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      Meanwhile Amazon in recent years have had one or two full rounds of fixtures during the Christmas period where they show every game live.
      Reports have also suggested that channels like Disney and DAZN could try and get involved in Premier League broadcasting.
      Broadcasters still have to fit their scheduling around England’s 3pm blackout and the Premier League would also have to do this unless rule changes were introduced.
      If the league were to take control of the broadcast deal, it would also give them more control over kick-off times.
      Fans have expressed frustration in recent years over asocial kick off times that supporters have had to put up with to satisfy TV schedules.
      And Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters Association, said footy followers are also under the cosh over the money paid to watch football on TV.

      He told the Mirror: “There’s no question that supporters are increasingly feeling the financial strain.
      “We’re not untouched by the general cost of living crisis but the more platforms there are, the more subscriptions we have to find.
      “For those fans who want to watch everyone of the club’s televised games the costs are really starting to mount.”
      The reports come as Sky Sports make huge cutbacks on their output with iconic shows like Soccer AM getting the axe.

      Meanwhile, BT Sport have also been making changes with their Saturday Score programme set to be scrapped.
      The channel is also set to get rebranded next season. More
