Well you both seem to be coming form the same side but have contradicted each over

My point of the contradiction, is that it was said by delmbox Lineker is not a political or current affairs broadcaster and therefore can say his personal views even tho he is paid by the BBC, I also believe, that Warnock is not a political or current affairs broadcaster, so can also say his brexit views, even tho he is employed by a Malaysian.

This is what it comes down to between us I think, the final line in both our arguments.
You believe Warnock has said something daft or offensive and therefore deserves some level of grief - fair enough
I believe what Warnock said is neither daft not offensive, as previously said just a lot of fuss about nothing, and therefore does not deserve any grief.
shall we agree to disagree on these two points?

He said something provocative by its very nature and it was much easier just to say nothing at all.

I don’t think anyone would have criticised him if he came out with a coherent point and showed he had a decent grasp of the situation. Klopp got away with it.
The problem was it was such a shallow and stupid thing to say. He made himself out to be a bit of a fool with the whole topic.

Absolutely he can, I just wish he hadn't because I think it makes him look small minded and ignorant, and he represents us in a lot of people's eyes,

BBC’s impartiality clause isn’t in the contract of sports related staff.
Andrew Neil is who you should be worried about when it comes to stuff like that.
Re: Warnock gets his knuckles rapped.
Where in the original club statement does it say that NW has 'had his knuckles rapped' by the club. It just states that the opinions expressed by him are his own personal ones and not the view of the club. This is typical lazy and confrontational journalism by WO, designed to create a controversy to try to boost their flagging ratings. Certain people on this board have fallen for it and jumped on the band wagon, presumably because they are remainers and/or dont like him and want to discredit him. The UK voted to leave by the way, with a bigger majority than voted for the Welsh Assembly to be created but nobody questioned that result.

Not directly that is why he is free to make political comments. Andrew Neil, on the other hand......

A few of them even said the turn out was too small and the margin of victory was too small. The hypocrisy in this government knows no bounds.
