Lineker & Co

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

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.
