[Football] Sir Gary Lineker - 25 years at the MotD helm

[Right Brain Ronnie]

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

 

[A1X]

What did he do?

“Workplace misconduct” is all that’s been said

 

[Questions]

Yes with Jermaine… Its inevitable

Now that was a tip wasn’t it.

Leaving the BBC after next World Cup.

Leaving the BBC after next World Cup.

Great news

See ya jug

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).

This.

Just wait when they replace him with Eni Eluko.

 

[allystrat]

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

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Great news

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

This.

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.

 

[Jackthelad]

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.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Chapters to MoTD 1 and Rick Edwards to MoTD 2 please

 

[Stato]

Can we have Des back now?

Good shout

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

 

[Soton Seagull]

It'll be Alex Scott.

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.
