Tops the BBC salary list again earning £1.35 million. I just don’t get it, what does he do to justify that?
Erm, because he's a very good, respected and experienced presenter that knows his stuff about the sport he played professionally at the highest level, and market forces dictate he's worth that? Just a thought.Tops the BBC salary list again earning £1.35 million. I just don’t get it, what does he do to justify that?
But they're not bitter with the democratic result, unlike the remouners, who still whine on about it - factTbf, Brexiteers are easily offended
was my favourite along with Gazza. Yours too ?I’d love to meet him one day
Then his salary should be doubled!!!It's all a matter of opinions and I agree with Mates on this one, especially as his salary comes from the public.
For an overpaid presenter, Lineker was very outspoken in his support as a remoaner & insulting towards brexiteers
But they're easily insulted, you just have to ask what the benefits have been.It's all a matter of opinions and I agree with Mates on this one, especially as his salary comes from the public.

Not wel liked in Ascot where I lived for a while, never met him myself, but was regarded as a bit unpleasant.Had dinner at his Godfather's one night.
He was a ** too.
The length of the highlights is dictated by the TV rights deal. If I remember rightly it is a maximum of 8 minutes from any single game.He seems to have aged a lot recently. Paid far too much. Get rid and employ someone much cheaper.Show more highlights and less pundits. In fact get rid of all the pundits.️️️️️️
So were women… just saying…Black tv presenters have been underpaid for years. So I’m fine with anything that addresses this.
So were women… just saying…
Yeah but he’s a man
Hmmm, not much of one, in my opinion. He went right down in my estimation when his first wife had to divorce him citing unreasonable behaviour…and with four sons, one of whom had been seriously ill….Yeah but he’s a man
In which case, he deserves every pennyIt's all a matter of opinions and I agree with Mates on this one, especially as his salary comes from the public.

National Housing Party. FFS. You don't half follow some shite.Really surprised he hasn’t jumped all over this yet
What nonsense
wonder if it’s because we won 8-0 , The BBC is rotten to the core. Nothing but a bias shit stirring machine. Bit like Jug ears.
Who said i followed them, but hey ignore the facts, it’s what you do.National Housing Party. FFS. You don't half follow some shite.
The fact is Gary Lineker has commented on it. So odd thread to bring it up.Who said i followed them, but hey ignore the facts, it’s what you do.
Gammoning hahah once again ignoring the content as it doesn’t suit your warped agenda and instead attacking me calling me a gammon. Classic Leftism.The fact is Gary Lineker has commented on it. So odd thread to bring it up.
Don't let that fact stop the gammoning

Who says he’s not very good? How do you know what the market rate is for a presenter with his experience?He's not very good, and market rate seems to be about a tenth of what he's picking up.
He is was Mr Stop Brexit despite getting paid by the BBC which are meant to be impartial. That’s a joke. Brexit showed them for what they are.It's pretty clear he's an insufferable self-righteous **. A Poundland Bono. I'm not sure why everyone listens to him. Like going to Rusty Lee for DIY advice. The guy is just a gimp unless he's talking about football in which you can disagree as well.
It’s like he goes out of his way to be a James HuntWent off him when leaving Wembley after the West Ham final he tweeted great !! West Ham back where they belong !! ……….**
You have to give a reason and the decent thing to do as a bloke is to go down the unreasonable behaviour route and apply it to yourself. You'd be a bit of dickhead if you wouldn't do that for your wife and mother of your kids when the simple truth is that you no longer wanted to be together.Hmmm, not much of one, in my opinion. He went right down in my estimation when his first wife had to divorce him citing unreasonable behaviour…and with four sons, one of whom had been seriously ill….
Educated and forward thinking??He is was Mr Stop Brexit despite getting paid by the BBC which are meant to be impartial. That’s a joke. Brexit showed them for what they are.
No his dingy diver mates don’t agree with that sort of thing. He puts them up in his house but doesn’t like to talk about itHas he wished everyone a Happy International Non-Binary People's Day yet?
Do I think he's a good presenter - yes. He also seems a decent man. Is he worth his salary? So long as senior surgeons, medics, Headteachers and Senior Police officers don't get that sort of money - no.
Not seen many people with right wing views criticise the ever growing gulf in CEO pay, or the massive dividend payments made to shareholders while companies refuse to give workers pay rises that are even half way to matching inflation!66
I won't pretend that I have a problem with a sports presenter earning more than a headteacher etc myself but you are clearly more principled than your fellow AVFTT lefties who are defending Lineker's salary because they agree with his political views.
If Lineker wasn't a lefty, all we'd be hearing about is how criminal his salary was and how he shouldn't be getting paid as much during a cost of living crisis etc, etc.
It's not a game for me. Pay footballers well, and TV Presenters but they are not the bedrock of society. I'd pay senior engineers more than footballers any day of the week. Enjoy your heroes, salute them but put your senior, skilled workers at the top of any pile.66

Footballers get paid too much, actor's get paid too much, Lineker gets paid too much, most company executives get paid too much but a large section of the population pick on Lineker because they don't like his views and they say nothing about other disparities in pay that effect many more people.
I think it's a myth that people with left wing views begrudge people being well paid. I'm all for people being well paid, people with special skills and talents should obviously be paid more.69
I certainly have no problem with how much CEOs, footballers, actors or sports presenters such as Lineker get paid.
You have decided that all such groups are overpaid, an opinion that you are entitled to hold and express on here but your views on the matter are not definitive.
I'm not sure Lineker should be spouting the chite he does while employed by the BBC but I won't lose any sleep over it.
I just found it rather amusing to see the lefties defending Lineker's salary when they are up in arms about any other fecker who happens to earn plenty.
Go and read your Guardian and while your at it apply to house some. I heard Gary has them living at his house eating a certain brand of crisp he advertises despite working for a BBC many pay for including the most vulnerable pensioners. No I am not his biggest fan. It’s not me being racist because hi is a man of colour now apparently. Next he will be marching at Gay pride. That must be worth some virtue signalling points.I think it's a myth that people with left wing views begrudge people being well paid. I'm all for people being well paid, people with special skills and talents should obviously be paid more.
What I don't like is a worker being paid 25000, a manager 40,000, area manager 70,000 and then the ceo getting 750,000 plus bonuses!
Where is the logical progression in salaries?
As for Lineker it's rather amusing to see the righties up in arms about his views when they never ever question the large number of people who earn inflated wages and actually have an effect on their lives.
I suppose its similar to them blaming asylum seekers and people on benefits for the countries problems and not the people who have actually been running the country for the last 12 years!!
