It’s official (well, sort of) – Adrian Chiles is leaving ITV’s football coverage.

The broadcaster has announced that Mark Pougatch will be their new main football presenter with immediate effect and, although there’s no official word about Chiles’ future, the assumption is that he’ll be moving on.

The reaction on Twitter has been predictably joyous – the good people of the internet never need much of an excuse to lay into everyone’s second favourite West Brom fan.

So with apologies to the Chiles family, here’s what the internet has to say about it.

This man might be on to something…

But there were a few people who had some more positive things to say.

Whatever you think of him, it’s certainly true to say ITV’s football coverage will be very different from now on.
