Paul Merson admits his former Sky Sports colleague Matt Le Tissier was given "a couple of warnings" before he was let go by the broadcaster.
The Southampton legend was a long-standing member of the Soccer Saturday panel, providing insight and commentary on various fixtures. However, following the coronavirus pandemic, Sky made a host of personnel changes as they looked to freshen up their line-up.
Le Tissier was one of several names, alongside Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas, to be given their marching orders. It came after Le Tissier was particularly outspoken regarding the outbreak of the pandemic - views that he aired on social media. Merson concedes that certain opinions are better left unsaid, with his friend and colleague being warned previously.
