It's pretty simple - Lineker is a sports broadcaster not a news and current affairs broadcaster so he can tweet what he wants from his personal account. All here

Not offended in the slightest, pretty embarrassed that our manager is so stupid as to say "to hell with the rest of the world" when we're owned by Malaysians, have a number of foreign players and hope to attract more though. He just came across as a grumpy old prick to be honest

What a fuss about nothing. More important things going than what Warnock has said
I never said I do not agree with Lineker ( I actually like the guy) you brought him into the conversation, nor do I agree with Warnock, I said I believe it is inappropriate to talk talk about politics at work/football. My problem as a traditional liberal, is I have lost touch the progressive lefts inability to listen to opposing views without loosing their shit.
I live in the USA, I would do not want us 'to go to hell' over here, but I am not naive or sensitive enough to actually take Warnocks comments at face value, I can clearly see it a non-story, a throw away reference wrapped in the context of what a mess brexit has become.
My entire complaint in this thread is purely - the fact that the quality of discourse in our society has become so poor, that what I see as a non-controversial, throw away jibe, with hardly and menace or thought behind it, has become a big front page issue, resulting in statements from the club...
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?
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.
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.
Oh dear, you mean the Welsh Assembly referendum that they tried to overturn? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-46863044
Also about 20 Tory MPs who said we should respect the referendum result here and all referendum results have been proven to have voted against the assembly even after the referendum.
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.
