Just announced on CWR that, after today, (unless we make the play offs of course) Clive Eakin won't be covering City match commentary any more.

Such a shame, really enjoyed listening to him.

I hope they find someone else who mixes up white players with black players and our opponents with clubs we haven't played for over 20 years. He will be missed.

Nothing more said about a replacement.

Strange that Rob Gurney isn't on CWR today as well.

Actually find that a little bit sad. He's been a massive part of our recent journey, he's put his voice to the best moments some of us have had. It'll feel quite odd listening to someone else.

I suspect she’ll replace Gurney and he’ll take Clive’s job.

End of an era. No longer able to ignore prophecies of “danger here” and always the possibility of complete misidentification of city scorers. Clive said MVE had scored Paterson’s goal. Easy error as MVE seems more naturally right footed than Pato. The word “broodje” is Dutch for batch (well bread roll).

Whenever Clive says Grimes I think he's merging into Alan Partridge in his later years.

I wouldn't worry too much. Knowing our Clive, he probably means next season.

What a legend. That roar from the crowd when him and Oggy came on the screen at Wembley against Man Utd will live long in the memory.

I really hope he reconsiders over the summer. An outstanding commentator!

I haven’t understood why they have needed 4 or 5 to cover our matches.

I wonder if Oggie got an appearance fee from Sky?

Think Clive’s days were numbered once Gurney returned to CWR sadly. Been slowly squeezed out.

Loved Gurney back in the 90’s, but haven’t really warmed to him since his return.
