He criticised the use of fans on the show

But Allen has taken exception to the guests who have appeared on Sky Sports News.

He questioned the presence of ‘fans’ on the show discussing transfers, rather than experts.

The Northern Irishman tweeted: “Jesus, just turned on @SkySportsNews to follow deadline day…… why oh why are they bringing in fans rather than experts for discussions?

“Pretty sure paying customers won’t be happy with this. Sort it out.”

Allen, 39, is not afraid to voice his opinion – but this is one that has been shared by other viewers.

One wrote: “Podcasters and youtubers 👎🏼”

Another added: “Games gone Mark. Barely watch it now.”

A third wrote: “The whole thing is hyped-up nonsense!”

And another commented: “Like inviting me down to the Crucible to critique you, Ronnie and Judd’s long potting 🤣”

One supporter remarked: “Very poor.”
