I will really miss him. Football’s answer to Murray Walker!

I can only hope he’s going to Sky F1. Him and Martin Brundle would be the dream team.

I can hear him now, just as Norris laps Verstappen, saying “Norris in real danger from Senna now”.

The guy’s a legend.

Clive been bought by Tranmere for a small fee perhaps? Lorna is a passionate and professional presenter and has a great voice. She is good at conveying the atmosphere amongst fans. However she needs to realise that it's not about her and boring mentions about non football trivia (or her or her family) are going to put people off from listening. Rob Gurney makes it about him too much and its very annoying and uneccessary. CWR has been great last few years and they put in great effort that few other BBC Local Radio stations do. Lorna will be fine if she gets the gig and settles down. Will miss Clive though, a real football statto!

Got no problem with Gurney commentating, but LB is bloody dreadful, she'll put me off listening to the post match part of the show on the way home from the game.

I think he’s awful, he’s incompetent. Usually when I listen to the oppos commentary it’s better researched and more insightful. Sorry.

I don't think Lampard liked him, Geoff Shreeve was all over him on Saturday which Frank Loved, Clive is not your average Sky Sports presenter. I don't think this had any sway in Clives desicion by the way

I find Gurney to be overly critical and negative these days.

Having Doug’s brother retweeting stuff about King taking care of the Clive situation for Lampard isn’t going to help stop the rumours.

LB was asking Clive how the play-offs worked at half-time and how it’s decided who we’d play if we got in. She clearly has little to no genuine interest in football.

Yeah I can honestly see this happening.
I think Rob's live commentary is actually pretty decent, but he can fall into despair when we're losing, especially after the game with the callers.

Clive usually has a more balanced view and doesn't see the game as a fan

They were saying on CWR that Clive's first commentary match with Cov was the first game in the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League.

Would be pretty mad if his last game is our last in the Championship before going back up

Something slightly ironic seeing people saying Rob gets too negative when we're losing. Does nobody ever look at the match threads on here

Given the great affection that many Sky Blues fans hold for Clive, this is pretty incendiary stuff.

What? She's genuinely bad and clearly not a genuine football fan.

Brushing my teeth this morning and got sad thinking of not hearing Clive commentating again. Voice from my childhood unless I'm getting him mixed up with a prior commentator

I don't believe for a minute that King has had words with the BBC and got Clive the push but its not a great look to have his brother doing stuff like this as it will fuel people who do want to believe it.

He posts a lot of nonsense on twitter and most of the time its easy to just ignore it but it would probably be a good idea if Doug had a quiet word and advised him to think about what he is posting.

Sprout is definitely the brains of the operation in Wills house.
