Apparently Gary Lineker will stop presenting MOTD at the end of this season and leave the BBC at the end of the 2026 season. I wonder if Alex Scott will replace him, especially as Jermaine Jenas, who was favourite to replace him, is out of the picture.
Jason Mohammed?
Good call !Quote:

Odds-on it will be a woman, probably AS.
Gabby Logan tipped and Laura Woods.Quote:

I don’t watch it now. But if Laura woods gets it I’ll definitely never watch it again. Jimmy hill for me……
Not for me. Annoying voice.Quote:

Meh. If it’s going to be a female I’d rather it was a broadcaster that’s earned her stripes like Yorath, Dalglishes daughter or Natalie Sawyer and not some fast tracked ex female footballer.Quote:

Never been a huge fan of Chappers for some reason.
Nor me. Never been able to put my finger on why exactly, and I don’t dislike him as such, but I’m not a fan.Quote:

I'd like to know how he got the job in the first place.Quote:

Obviously a racially balanced team.
Laura Woods brings to football the same magic that Nigella Lawson brings to cooking.

Never happened. His replacement was a bloke who’s absolutely ****ing useless, while the panel is as male-dominated as it was when he left.
