Lineker & Co

[bogsdollox]

No wonder he looks a smug b*****d on Match of The Day when he takes £1.75 million from our licence fees every year to host a show that is well past its sell by date.
Also that other annoying ginger waster Chris Evans £2.5 million for a radio show that is - all in all £30million shared out between 90 so called celebs makes ya puke .

Yep and that's the difference between cost and value.

In Lineker case that job could easily be done by somebody at a quarter of the price with minimum if any drop of quality of the program.

High cost low value

People watch MOTD for the football. Nobody watches it for the jug earred tax dodger who thinks he's hilarious.
just give it to someone who can read an autocue and pay them £50K

scandalous that Chris Evans earns so much and Alan Partridge couldn't even get a second series.

Also it's important to note that the payments list are only those fees paid directly to the "star" it doesn't for example include the fees paid to associated production companies like Graham Norton's company "So" which is paid to make the Graham Nortin Show.

There are other anomalies like Benedict Cumberbatch not making the list, all of those Sherlock appearances are paid indirectly so he avoids being on the list.

Some of those high on the list are a bit crap but most actually pay tax in the UK unlike sporting heroes like Lewis Hamilton and Mo Farah who take the dosh and live outside the UK to avoid taxes.

Lineker treble that with his BT sports & crisps earnings.

In all fairness though, Alan Partridge didn't do himself any favours by shoving a block of smelly cheese in his boss' face.
And I bet even the boring ginger Top gear flop (Evans) & the jug eared tax dodging crisp thief (Lineker) would have been ace at presenting live Monkey Tennis.

Why blame Lineker? He's no different to an over priced footballer. If the clowns in charge wish to pay him a lavish fee then he's bound to take it, wouldn't you?

If he was being paid 30k a year this post wouldn't exist, it's the green eyed jealousy monster that created this post and all the replies that followed.

Good luck to him if he can keep getting paid it.
Oh by the way, don't forget Lineker also hosts Sports Personality of the year, European and World Cup programmes in other words he's an all round performer.

Now for the easiest paid job in the Beeb look no further than Alan Shearer and Mark Lawrenson who get paid an eye watering £300,000 a year for ad libbng to replays of games they will have seen countless times over before the programme is aired so know exactly what they need to say before the camera pans to them. Easy money if you can get it.

You completely miss the point here and have as usual jumped in with both feet - and you do not understand the difference between somebody who is paid via the public purse ie the licence fee and a footballer w played by his club - you need to take more time reading posts before you make immature ,schoolboy replies !

😄😄😄 Mr know it all here. IF you read my post again but m o r e s l o w l y then you'll grasp the fact I'm saying if the idiots at the Beeb want to pay extortionate fees to ANYONE Then they are to blame not the recipient of the receiving wage. Now what don't you understand about that?

Football clubs/ public purse there's no difference if you are discussing vastly inflated wages. Maybe I pissed on your post that's upset you pointing out yours was the jealousy post and not the fact where Lineker' wage comes from. Eh ho...,

The bottom dollar (no pun intended) is that Lineker is high cost but low value.
