Why has Soccer AM been axed?

Staff were told the unfortunate news that the show would be coming to an end and that they would be made redundant in May.

A source told the Sun: "It was a complete bombshell.

"Morale is at an all-time low, they are raging.

"It's going to be an interesting watch over the next few weeks."

A Sky Spokesperson has said: “Soccer AM has played an important role in our coverage of football for the past three decades, and we continually adapt to the evolving needs of our customers.

"We now go into a period of consultation to discuss the proposed changes with our people.

"We are unable to provide more detail while these consultations are underway.”
