True - but when you've got someone in to present a sports segment they should at least appear to know more than the main programme host.
From a presentation point of view though it generally does look better if you've got a sports segment to have a seperate presenter for it.
Re: The David Mannion interview - I notice he mentions a possible comeback for Trevor McDonald
Mr Mannion is lost at the moment with many of his friends leaving ITN, with Craig oliver gone, the network output is beginning to show cracks in the team, staff morality must be really low at the service and for trevor coming back i think he means in other programmes

I've never entirely bought into this idea that whoever reads the sports belt has to be a sports specialist. It's ITV News, not Wisden. You don't need a particularly deep knowledge of sport to do it. It's all very populist, wide-appeal stuff - not obscure sports trivia.

The departure of Mannion's mate, Sir Trevor McDonald, who presented the news for the final time at the end of last year, has not affected ratings. Mark Austin has proved a capable replacement, and McDonald will still appear from time to time. 'Before I knackered my ankle, we played tennis. He's a national treasure and an icon and all of that and we're talking about doing something on the Trinidad and Tobago's World Cup game with England.'
