Really poor from Ornstein
Agree. Does he work for the PL?
Probably as a journalist who covers the PL they could make his professional life very difficult. I don’t know why else he would be so pro-PL in there.
I think he's trying to play the role of the smartest person in the room and his method seems to focus around being a bit of a contrarian, but in a really 'safe' way. He was meant to be providing the indepth insight, but completely failed to do so and got frustrated when the neville and carragher kept bringing the focus back to the 20 million.
The guy went into that conversation determined to tell a specific story.

He refused to acknowledge any less than £300m didn't he?
None of what he said was too far from the truth though, but I was fucking furious when he glossed over Portsmouth as "being in the past"
My man, that's exactly what you use when determining a punishment in any system!
He was just playing devil's advocate in a conversation (as he said more than once), otherwise it would be 4/5 people all saying the same thing and wouldn't be a very interesting conversation.
Ian Wright doesn't bring anything to these conversations, and most of the time neither does Roy Keane.
