The Jenas thing is completely left field, he was commentating for TNT at Ipswich on Saturday, so clearly there’s something about to come out and the Beeb after Huw Edwards have made a pre emptive strike.

Lets hope it’s actually something genuine rather than trail by media?

The best thing the beeb could do is cull the lot, just in case anymore bring them down. Starting with the highest earners

World class presenter, I suspect some won't appreciate this fact until he's replaced

Highest earner - could do with some cost-cutting. Besides, 25 years is long enough - time for a change (regardless how good or bad people might think he is).

No doubt the woke corporation will have someone 'suitable' lined up.

Is it? I'd say 'Man leaves job' is just indifferent news.

But the way he made gammon froth was incredibly entertaining too! The sort of **** who says ‘we is all entitled to an opinion’ but goes ****ing apeshit the moment Gary mentions anything controversial on his personal twitter.

Legend. They won’t be able to replace him. I predict we will see multiple replacements but no one will last particularly long.

Mark Chapman should be promoted from MOTD2.

Innoffensive. Wry. Not annoying. Knows his stuff, but doesn't take it all too seriously. I like him.

I will be happy with Mark Chapman provided he is happy to do it on less money than Lineker

Can't see that being an issue, he surely can't expect to jump to being the highest paid presenter at the BBC. He'd be well aware he'd be replacing a long-standing legend, like Terry Wogan or Huw Edwards.
