Sky Sports ‘bring back iconic football show that ran for 20 years' after it was axed in 2020
The broadcasting giant are reportedly planning on bringing back a Sunday media review show - similar to previous fan favourite show Sunday Supplement.
1
Sunday Supplement, which ran for 20 years, was axed by Sky Sports back in 2020.
But, according to the Mail Online, the company has now decided to resurrect the format, but won't be bringing the name back to life with it.
Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too.
Despite its disappearance off screens five years ago, Sky still gave fans a taste of the show in podcast form in the years since.
It's claimed that Sky Sports are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
SunSport have approached Sky for comment.
Sunday Supplement first formed part of Sky's offering in 1999 under the name of Hold The Back Page.
The show was first hosted by former Match of the Day host Jimmy Hill, while other hosts over the years included Brian Woolnough and Neil Ashton.
And high-profile panelists involved in show included the likes of Henry Winter and Oliver Holt.
Sky pointed to the congested football calendar following Covid-19 as one of the reasons they chose to take Sunday Supplement off air.

Ulrika Jonsson hits out at Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with Lou Teasdale while his ex Billi Mucklow 'chooses to put their children first'
has criticised Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with his girlfriend Lou Teasale while his ex Billi Mucklow is at home with their children. Billi and Andy have three children together - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship. The footballer is now in a relationship with make-up artist Lou, recently confirming they had got back together after a brief split earlier this month. Ulrika has been distinctly unimpressed with Andy's loved-up social media snaps with Lou from their travels while TOWIE star Billi looks after his children. In her column for The Sun, she wrote: 'Billi is at home with the three children she shares with Carroll and the two children he has from a previous relationship. She's been going about her business quietly, diligently, with unwavering dignity. Choosing to put the children first. 'She has understood that children need continuity, connection and a daily routine, so while their father has been gallivanting across the Mediterranean with his tongue attached to Lou Teasdale's tonsils, she has chosen to prioritise those she loves the most.' Ulrika asked why is it often the mother who stays at home taking care of the children while the father finds it easier to 'leave his family behind'. 'The mother is the one who remains at home with the children; who doesn't rush into another relationship; who understands she needs to get her ducks in a row before embarking on a new life?' she wrote. 'Why is it that it's so much easier for a man to just leave his family behind and go and satisfy his own needs?' Ulrika added that Andy and Lou's 'summer of love' has been so relentless, she's 'exhausted' just watching their antics. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Andy Carroll for comment. It comes after Andy revealed he is back with Lou following a brief split earlier this week. The couple split after a series of rows, with initial reports claiming the footballer dumped the make-up artist after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour. However, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship. Andy has now vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save their relationship after boozy rows as he confirmed the pair are trying 'to work through their difficulties'. He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple.' Referring to his divorce from wife Billi Mucklow, who he shares three children with, Andy added: 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. 'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life. 'We're better off together and we're trying to work through our difficulties.' The pair, who were together for just over a year, unfollowed each other on social media and Andy wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram. They now follow each other on Instagram and have added their loved-up snaps back to their pages. On Wednesday, a source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The pair began dating last year after he separated from wife Billi last September. Andy and Billi called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year. In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Andy was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened. Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'. Andy said in a statement at the time: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings'. 'It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.' The former couple have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship

Revealed: When Chelsea's swoop for Xavi Simons 'is set to be completed' with RB Leipzig's Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich just days away
Chelsea are reportedly now just days away from completing the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons. The Blues have been in talks with the Dutchman's camp for weeks and are believed to have already agreed personal terms. But Leipzig are yet to receive a bid from the Club World Cup Champions for Simons, who is valued at around £60million by the Bundesliga side. It seems an offer is now imminent however, with Chelsea hopeful of completing a deal for the highly-rated 22-year-old after the beginning of the German top-flight this weekend. Simons' last appearance for Leipzig is set to come on Friday at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich, according to Florian Plettenberg, then the transfer will likely be completed. The former Barcelona wonderkid, who netted 10 league goals last season, is thought to be keen on a move to Enzo Maresca 's side. If the move does indeed come off, Simons will face fierce competition for his place when he arrives at Stamford Bridge. Despite already boasting Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and youngster Tyrique George on the wing, the Blues have strengthened their frontline this summer with the signings of Jamie Gittens and the promising Estevao. And they're also working on a deal to bring in Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho after he was told to find himself a new club by Ruben Amorim. The Argentine, 21, is understood to have agreed personal teams with Chelsea but there remains a gap in the two clubs' valuation of him. The Blues will likely have to chop players from their bloated squad before they splash out the £60m United desire for Garnacho. Todd Boehly and co are reportedly working on doing just that, with up to nine players at risk of being sold by Chelsea before the transfer window closes early next month. It's thought the club are trying to arrange sales or loans for Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Renato Veiga, Alex Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, Tyrique George and Raheem Sterling. Following an underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal last term, Sterling is said to be keen on a permanent move away from the club but his £325,000-a-week contract is proving to be something of a stumbling block in transfer negotiations. Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham United are all interested in securing his signature, with the former England international favouring a move to a London-based club. Chelsea began their Premier League campaign last weekend with a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge against Palace, who had an Eberechi Eze free-kick disallowed in the first half by VAR. After the match, Enzo Maresca was critical of his side's toothless performance. 'We could have counter attacked better, we could have defended better, but it is only the first game of the season,' he said. 'For sure, slowly, slowly, we're going to be better. 'They (Palace) played about eight games (in pre-season). We played just two. We tried our best. We didn't lose a clean sheet.' The Blues travel east to face West Ham in a London derby on Friday evening.
