Sky Sports name surprise host for new show that was controversially scrapped
The Sunday Supplement ran for 20 years as top journalists analysed some of the biggest talking points in football, but the show was axed by Sky Sports bosses in 2020 over scheduling concerns Sky Sports has picked veteran presenter Dharmesh Sheth to lead the revamped version of Sunday Supplement - five years after the show was controversially axed. The newspaper review show ran for 20 years and featured some of the top journalists in the country discussing the biggest headlines in football and in the Premier League. It was originally hosted by Neil Ashton, former chief sports reporter for the Sun, before Sky presenter Jacqui Oatley took over in 2020, but the show was cancelled later that year. But now Sky chiefs are resurrecting the programme and have made a surprise choice to helm it, with Sheth set to take up presenting duties, according to the Daily Mail. Sheth is a long-serving member of staff at Sky who can often be seen on Sky Sports News breaking down the latest transfer news. He is set to switch up his focus by hosting a show for the first time as he told the Mail: "To be given the opportunity to present the show is all a bit surreal. And I can't wait to get started." There was previously speculation that former BBC Radio One DJ Roman Kemp could take on the role after taking up a job with Sky. Chiefs were expected to give the show a new name but have decided to stick with the original title. The report adds that the show will continue a similar format to the original, with major football stories being discussed by industry insiders. The first presenter of the Sunday Supplement was Jimmy Hill, when the show was initially called Hold The Back Page back in 1999. Football fans will fondly remember how it was preceded by the Goals on Sunday highlights show, hosted by Ben Shepherd and Chris Kamara. It comes at a time when Sky are making major changes to its programming schedule. They cancelled beloved and long-running show Soccer AM in 2023 and have also made major changes to its Gilette Soccer Saturday line-up, with Jeff Stelling leaving after 25 years at the end of the 2022-23 season.

EXCLUSIVE Sky Sports name stalwart as surprise new presenter of weekly revamped Sunday Supplement progamme and the FA's stance on Crystal Palace's demotion is revealed
Dharmesh Sheth is to host the return of Sky Sports' Sunday Supplement – which is to be called…Sunday Supplement. As Mail Sport revealed, bosses at the broadcaster are to bring back the popular newspaper review show, which was axed after a 20-year run in 2020. They were expecting to give it a new name, as part of a rebrand. However, after much deliberation, it is understood that they have decided to stick with the original title. Speculation over who would host the show had been rife, with some wondering if Roman Kemp, of the BBC 's One Show, would take over after agreeing a deal to work for Sky. But Sheth, a reporter and presenter for Sky Sports News who has been at Sky since 1998, is to take the reins.'To be given the opportunity to present the show is all a bit surreal,' he told this column. 'And I can't wait to get started.' FA's Crystal Palace plea They may have been tight-lipped around the Crystal Palace case, but Inside Sport understands that the Football Association did throw its weight behind the Eagles' fight to stay in the Europa League. Officially, the FA has declined to comment on a sad situation that has seen Palace demoted to the Conference League under UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. However, it can be disclosed that the FA wrote to UEFA in support of Palace's argument, with officials supporting the right of the FA Cup winners to take part in the competition. Palace are now expected to take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, where that backing could come in handy. Positive steps on dementia crisis Positive news for those who have been tirelessly calling for football to tackle its dementia crisis. Campaigners led by John Stiles, who was key to Mail Sport's campaign, wanted to amend the Football Governance Bill to include a legal requirement for the likes of the Premier League, FA and PFA to set up a fund to cover care costs for those affected. While that attempt was not successful, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told Parliament that the Government is treating the issue with 'urgency and the utmost seriousness that it demands'. After namechecking the work of Stiles, son of World Cup winner Nobby, Nandy added: 'They are not wealthy people and they deserve better treatment. As a Government, we are determined to grip this issue. We are clear that football can and must do more.' Hear, hear. Brollies and caps fly off shelves Given the ongoing heatwave that has seen record temperatures, it is perhaps a surprise that umbrellas have been a big seller at this year's Wimbledon. The searing heat has seen many, desperate for some shade, snap up the staple items, usually used to keep the infamous summer showers at bay. Caps have also flown off the shelves. A new Wimbledon icon The Masters has its famous gnomes and now it appears Wimbledon has a retail craze of its own. Pip the Strawberry, an eight-inch cuddly toy, has proved so popular with visitors that stores sold out entirely last Thursday. Given the quiet collaboration between both events, it is to be wondered whether Augusta officials had a discreet influence over the new arrival, making the point that their colleagues in SW19 may have been missing a trick. Agents left incensed by FIFA decision A substantial number of would-be agents have been left incensed after FIFA rejected their cries of foul play over their latest exam shambles. As of 2023, those who wish to work as intermediaries have to pass a test before they are granted a licence. Early sittings were a chaotic affair, hampered by WiFi and connectivity issues. Candidates sat the latest exam from home. However, dozens are thought to have been hampered by software issues which they claim was no fault of their own. Many have asked for a resit, but Inside Sport has now seen emails to some of those affected from FIFA which state that no such move will be made. They say that no 'fundamental and obvious errors' have been identified - despite a seemingly overwhelming body of evidence to the contrary.
