Gary Lineker

Re: Gary Lineker

I don’t mind Bradley Walsh on the chase but what the hell is that show where he goes on holiday somewhere with his son and has a good time getting paid to do it and we’re supposed to watch that as entertainment? ?

It is double standards when people complain about the earnings of the likes of Lineker yet the likes of Bradley Walsh (who I like by the way, although he is beginning to grate a touch) seem to get an easier ride while picking up vastly more. They’re both ultimately being paid by the consumer, us, after all.

Re: Gary Lineker

Most BBC presenters earn ridiculous amounts of money for what they do. Take a look at the BBC's own list, it's quite an eye opener.

Lineker is at the top with Zoe Ball a close second!

the equivalent list of people who work for ITV or Sky earn a lot more - it's just the going rate for that work

Google a few of the ITV and Sky lot, it’s a wonder the BBC brigade don’t go on strike:hehe:

TV is full of programmes where millions of people watch other people doing the most mundane things that they could be doing themselves.Watching people watching TV must take the biscuit though and so-called reality is built on artifice and manipulating the gullible viewer.

End of sermon.

P.S. Sorry, young lady, you are a wonderful singer but you don't have a back-story involving tragedy that the viewers can shed a few tears about....

Re: Gary Lineker

I can't see how the BBC can justify paying anyone that sort of money, just to present a weekly TV show. And as for Zoe Ball, she is completely talentless. But then there are a lot of people like that - Claudia Winkelman is another. Why?

Re: Gary Lineker

Over £1m a year from the BBC alone. That might not be a huge salary to you but it is for most people.

It's a lot for me but its market rate for someone who is one of the best at it.

the BBC justify paying it because that is the going rate for those jobs. if you want that kind of money too then why not become a prime-time TV presenter too, especially if you can be completely talentless and manage it?

personally I would be absolutely terrible at any of their jobs

Re: Gary Lineker

Isn't it funny how threads turn out.
Some get really deep and throw up all kinds of unexpected stuff.
Some you'd think will die a death and end up a ten pager while others you think will spark a fierce debate but ends up in a personal slagging match.

This particular one was started by myself and was just an observation of a phrase that the subject uses very frequently, "in many ways" and not meant as a personal attack (though he does irritate me along with his supercilious cronies).

The other one was the Micah Richards thread. He must have said the word "Incredible" seven or eight times when waxing about Citeh's performance.

Its a funny ol' fred

Re: Gary Lineker

Mad how people are so obsessed with Gary Linekar’s earnings since the tabloid newspapers told them they should be and have completely let this cloud their opinion of him.

Have you dorks ever considered having an original thought?

Re: Gary Lineker

That's only his BBC salary. No one knows what he gets paid from his other work with BT Sport and Walkers. What is almost certain is that if the BBC didnt pay him as much as they do, he could earn more elsewhere.

Jeremy Clarkson paid £160 million for The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime. :yikes:
