I see no way back for him. It was time for a change anyway.

Good news. I might start watching MOTD again. Can't stand this virtue-signalling, champagne socialist bellend.

Story now about Ian Wright backing Gary.
|

By:
i think he walked out and will not be on MOTD tomorrow night

does it mean that incredible bore Jason Mohammad will present now instead ?

To be replaced by Mark Lawrenson

I find Lineker smug and annoying at times, but he's good at what he does (albeit paid far too much). I agree with his assessment of the current tory regime, though. Hopefully the Lineker situation will backfire on them, and this corrupt, self-serving, extremist tory government will live to regret their bullying stance and will be given the red card at the next election.
credit to Ian Wright for backing his mucker. I hope Richards, Scott and a few others will follow suit, then we'll get the bonus of not having to hear them for a while as well. |

going to be replaced by an avatar of Jimmy Hill.

Hopefully match of the day will go back to been about football instead of politics, maybe one day English football will do the same

Not a chance in hell. Great opportunity for them now. |

Mr Lineker used to be carp when he started - he'd not get top grip with the teleprompter. But for what he did previously he'd have been binned ages ago. Maybe his signing-on fee was to colossal to be given the chp at the outset. He was woeful.
Mr Wright has abstained in solidarity. What a bonus! Killing two birds with one stone has never been more fruitful and justified. Well done the BBC and Mr Wright! |

It takes 8000+ license payers to fund his wages for what??...a couple of hours a week talking **** with is mates and that's 5 hours after the final whistle and majority have watched the games "live"...1.3 million a year he's no big deal they could get someone much more likable than him for a fraction of that money.

You're probably right steve. Whoever replaces him will not be an improvement, imo. Please god, not Kelly Cates!
 MOTD has become unwatchable anyway. Bland and dumb comment has supplanted any attempt at serious analysis. Far too much showing off and clowning from nomarks who can't even scrutinise a game properly. |
|
By:
I'm not bothered about Lineker in particular, but Wright is an asset, is one of the few pundits that has charisma, personality and a sense of humour, who would you prefer, bores like Jenas, Paul Scholes or Leon Osman ? It's like with Keys and Gray, nobody gave a sh1t about Keys when he left, but people liked Gray, nobody is going to be that bothered about Lineker going but Wright would be much more missed.

I think he only ever soiled himself once on the football pitch but he seemed to suffer from copremisis every time he is on TV

Ian Wright is on numerous channels all over the world,he won't need to go down the local food bank with some TV license tax payers tomorrow evening.. if wright had played for spurs or Chelsea you would have hated him
|

By:
I take your point about how boring many of the pundits are. Steven Warnock is another, so long-winded and dull that he's almost impossible to listen to. I guess I've got to the stage where I don't want to hear presenters or pundits at all. They add little or nothing of any value as far as I'm concerned. MOTD should show far more of the action, and less of these overpaid tw@ts, and their "expert contributions"
|
|
By:
and how do you know that exactly KIW ?
if Wright was a bore who offered nothing then your point may seem plausible, but he is the opposite of wooden, has a personality, is clearly authentic and has good banter with the likes of Shearer. He's self made and comes from nothing working on building sites and whatnot so making him look guilty for not needing food banks is stupid. His wealth came from football, license fee money hasn't enriched him and whatever the BBC pay him is chickenfeed to what he earned as a player. |

By:
I am not his biggest fan off TV but I actually think he's a really decent presenter.

If you saw the doc on Ian too you'd see he had one hell of a different childhood to others, and has come out on top. Great lad.

This was the lead story on the 18.00 BBC news.
You've got to laugh really, as if there isn't rather more important issues going on in our world than this farce. |

I suppose this is a prime example of what separates us from The Russian or Chinese model of freedom of speech.
In either of these regimes if you speak out about and criticise the ruling elite and their shocking standards you lose your liberty, over here you just lose your livelihood. The significant thing here is that Lineker was supposedly right to stand out against the lgbt+trannys rule bowlucks at the World Cup and go on about it ad infinitum but wrong to voice an opinion on the British approach to small boats - where people die. What a lovely world we are creating. |

Yeah sick to death of all this clapping and silence for depressing non-football tragedies around the world. Don't people go to football for entertaining escape from the world ? No wonder mental problems on the rise. |
|
By:
No need for match of the day. Always see the goals on the Sky App and the extended highlights on the club website before MOTD starts.

made his money, must've known he was getting thrown out the door when he started tweeting - no surprise if he already had something more lucrative lined up when he started typing.
Shearer and Wright walked out, Gabby Logan probably do it if they up her from £200k to something nearer what Gary was on. |

By:
Motd to go ahead with highlights only
No pundits or studio |
|
By:
Its how it should be
Do they really need 3 pundits and a presenter and all that air time to show a game thats already finished? Its a total waste of money |
|
By:
bad night for whoever's been making up linekers end of show witticisms.
fairly niche market. |

By:
Motd to go ahead with highlights only
No pundits or studio Thank Kriist for that! been hoping for this for years. Might be able to watch it now. |

The football is what people want to see and that stays the same no matter who is or isn't presenting. Lineker, or indeed any presenter, brings nothing to the programme. People don't tune in to hear a pundit's opinion; they just want to see the match action. Why the BBC feel the need to hold on to Lineker at a salary way above what others at the corporation earn is a mystery. Ken Bruce was pulling in over 8 million listeners yet Lineker's being paid nearly a million more. For what? To say Hello, welcome to MOTD. Here's the game. Wasn't that a good goal? AI could do that.

Ratings will be sure to increase without having listen to these boring coonts.
There's better fan pundits on youtube than these gravy slurpers. |
|
By:
Who still watches MOTD?? Probably the ones who still bet pre- race
 |
|
By:
They should scrap this carp - would be hilarious.
Most fans only ever want to see highlights without these opinionated coonts. Highlights usually appear on youtube not long after the final whistle |
