"My contract at Sky ran out, and they chose not to renew it that's entirely their right. I had over 30 wonderful years there, and I wouldn't say a bad word about them. There was a suggestion that I was retiring which is not true at all. I'm still loving doing commentary and if I can continue to impart my love for the game through commentary, then I'll do it until I fall off the gantry."
"Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher's love of the game is the most important thing and their passion. The viewers expect that when their teams are playing, they are going to get a different slant on it. If their teams don't play well in those games, then that comes though as well! You can easily say we should get someone who is more neutral, but Manchester United vs Liverpool is one of the great days for those in broadcasting."
"You just don't know where they [Gary or Jamie] are half the time jumping up and down in the gantry! With Gary and Jamie, I feel almost paternal toward them."
Martin Tyler left Sky Sports in 2023 after his contract ran out and was not renewed following more than 30 years with the broadcaster. Tyler continues to work for other broadcasters as a commentator and pundit and insists retirement is not the case. Tyler expresses no ill will toward Sky Sports and rejects any suggestion of bad blood with Gary Neville or Jamie Carragher. Tyler describes Neville and Carragher as passionate figures who bring distinctive, emotionally charged perspectives to big matches and says their enthusiasm enhances broadcast coverage, especially for fixtures like Manchester United versus Liverpool.
