[Football] Gary Lineker BBC pay cut.

[Leekbrookgull]

Don't stop there and if they don't like they can always leave. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54119758

Should be a P45 and have someone in who has more recently retired who understands the modern game more.

exciting

Hence why he’s had to get a lodger in

Jermaine Jenas hosts MOTDX which is MOTD'S exciting, sexy younger brother, created for the youth, surely he's the go to guy?? Other than that Manish Bhasin or Rishi Persad?

This now means that Zoe Ball is the highest paid employee on the BBC payroll, a victory for equality.

He’s the presenter rather than the pundit / analyst.

Still ludicrously high as is Shearer and no doubt Wright etc. I cannot see how their salaries are justified considering they do the square root of sweet fanny adams most of the time. Shearer appears to get paid £1k a word per annum. Bin them all.

Is the hatred of Lineker due to his (undeniably exorbitant) salary, or his politics?

If a prominent BBC presenter was on the same salary, but regularly Tweeted pro-Brexit and anti-immigrant or anti-Greta Thunberg views instead, I bet there wouldn't be the same rejoicing or sneering.

Hypocrisy, too, that he's being 'reminded' of his 'responsibilities' over political Tweets at the same time as the Tories are claiming to be defenders of free speech against the 'fascist Left' and 'cancel culture'.

I guess prominent public figures should only express personal opinions which would be agreed with by Daily Mail readers.

Who cares, so long as he pays his dues?

So Zoe Ball, who is losing listeners, gets a ****ing great pay rise just because she is a bint? And they wonder why there is a growing campaign to defund the BBC?

We wouldn’t have time. They’d be straight out the door.

As for the BBC, scrap the licence fee and I won’t care what these lack-talents are paid. Not that I think anyone on that top ten list is worthy of polishing the boots of Clive James, Alan Whicker, or Jacob Bronowski.

Has Andrew Neill ever been rebuked for the same reasons Lineker has been?

I would go for him, I think MOTD needs a revamp IMO,

I've yet to see any allegations of Neill using tax avoidance schemes in the Caribbean.

By whom and for what?

Think that Shearer is a round 500k a year,you can have a go at least you haven't been relegated from The EPL.

A victory for equality would mean they were all paid the same.

Shearer is stealing a living.
