Gary Lineker has said he believes the BBC wanted him to leave Match of the Day

[Lolmorgan]

Plus a million viewers you arrogant 2hat.

Interesting listening to his interview

Basically it was everybody’s fault bar his

[Brin]

Everyone on TV has a sell by date and now his time is up.

He?s made millions from TV and well done him having switched from football

[Brin]

Meant to add but he pokes his nose in when he should leave it alone, hence the Lineker haters.

[Ronners]

He's been a fantastic host on MOD with good insight and also the playful and jokey way he took the p**s out of other ex pro's on the show. He did comment on other things political that, in the end, forced the BBC's hand but I personally will be sad to see him go. UTM

[Stovicmiller]

Nowt but a ****er .

Does anyone watch MOTD? I haven't before Lineker. Certainly won't with Kelly Cates & Gabby Logan.

He's clearly not at the same end of the political spectrum as the MP for Avoiding Clacton, hence the predictable responses.

Lineker is an independent thinker. Good for him.

He's also a good presenter.

Independent thinker who yes referring to women getting raped and babies getting murdered as that Gaza thing.
If that?s an independent thinker thankfully I have a greater sense of what?s right and wrong.
I really do question people?s morals and ethical values at times.
He?s a first class champagne socialist with no sense of morality.

Maybe but at least the member for Clacton was elected , with time on his hands Lineker could put his views up for public scrutiny and ditch his echo chamber .
