I guess they may use this as a publicity stunt and get him in if Lineker is sacked though. They still employ Gary Neville don't they? Doubt they'd be arsed about Linekers views.

Diffco Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Jenas will get the job as the defacto mouldable understudy for Lineker. He takes whatever job he can get, regardless of charm or charisma (or lack of both) at his disposal. The future gets bleaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebfromgrebland Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Yes really horrible and picking up pace. This time round I don't think there's an appetite to fight it. 1 minute ago, Tielemans63 said: Horrible isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been top of the BBC 'Top Earners List' for the last 5 years!! What he earns is irrelevant. If he presented the news or Question Time, then his tweet would of been inappropriate. Then again, Andrew Neil can present a BBC politics show wearing an Adam Smith institute tie and be the chairman of the Spectator, so…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernpark Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Perfect for the Tories. The problems they create get swept under the carpet with daft solutions. As the main news headline is regarding a man with big ears tweeting a fair point of view, and their decision making is not scrutinised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Unfortunately BBC have long since had a rule of remaining somewhat neutral. They’ve never been against someone believing and voicing concern about a humanitarian cause.. but the moment you start taking shots at a political party is when you break the neutrality clause in your contract. on top of that, you then start criticizing your boss. You just can’t do that. it’s almost like he was looking for ways to get out of his contract. I don’t think he liked working for the BBC anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a much improved show that way. Gave up long ago on Lineker's poorly delivered puns and jokes, and Shearer and Wright's basic "he done magnificent" punditry.

A far more serious issue than Lineker. The BBC has made itself the main story when it should be a minor issue. Deflects away from government policy. The bloke at top of Beeb being a Johnson pal is a real story. We have had presenters voice concerns over environmental issues quite rightly that criticise the government but they don't get the sack or suspended 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
