As someone who works in live sport I sadly have to say that its the famous faces that bring in the viewing figures.I've never warmed to Linekar and I don't rate Jenas as a presenter either.
I wish the BBC would appoint the best person for the role, rather than just a famous face. They're yet to replace Lynam, imo.
Or Chappers.Would prefer Dan Walker.
UnderratedOpinionJames Richardson please.
I dont mind Lineker either tbh. I imagine hes not cheap though. Not always a bad idea to freshen things up anyway.I like Lineker. Why is he leaving?
I just think his smugness is quite refreshing. Everyone else seems to be too self-aware. He just rolls with it. Natural.I dont mind Lineker either tbh. I imagine hes not cheap though. Not always a bad idea to freshen things up anyway.
The BBC are having their budgets ravaged by the government which is sadly ironic given the recent state of their election coverage.I like Lineker. Why is he leaving?
Yep same for me but he ticks all the BBC equality lists.He's an alright pundint but he has 0 charisma, rather watch paint dry in all honesty.
I mean, Lineker has already taken a salary cut, anyway.probably on half the money
Ah, so that's it. Ironic, or just same as usual. I can't remember the BBC being radically pursuing truth without considerable consideration to political hegemony. It strangely has some aura of progressive journalism. Oh well, another topic..BBC are having its budgets ravaged by the current government which is sadly ironic given the recent state of their election coverage.
Completely agree with this.I quite like Jenas as a pundit. He seems pretty natural at it but not sure he has the presence needed to head up the show.
