depends who the alternative is

Does it matter though? I mean, no one watches MOTD for Gary Lineker, or the shit punditry/analysis, so why the need to pay him so much?

Isn't this just a scheme to destroy the BBC, like the government did with British Rail and are doing with the NHS atm?

No, it isn't. I can watch MotD when it's guest-hosted by Dan Walker or Mark Chapman and it's no different. Gary is far from irreplaceable.

BBC doesn't need destroying, but it's revenue model needs a radical change.

People are pissed because they are essentially forced to pay the TV license so the BBC can pay some utter nomark on Casualty £400k a year

No, and in the interests of equality I think he should be replayed by Nadiya from the great British bake off.

>Alan Shearer is paid 400 grand to turn up and say literally nothing of value

This is even worse.

Chapman yes, but Walker is just too bland of a personality

Why does it matter? No one watches MOTD for the personalties

> earns twice as much as based Graham Norton

what the fuck, Britain?

Tbh I would rather Norton turn up than Lineker, he was pretty based with the Eurovision banter

>Jason Mohamed is paid £300k to cover Mark Chapman when he can't make MotD2

Norton gets paid in suits
And sexual favours from Jermaine Jenas

He doesn't though. That is just for his radio show. His Tv program is independently produced

lol Shearer is by far the best pundit they have.

Actually Keown is pretty good too.

>Actually Keown is pretty good too.

claire balding probably

She's never done MOTD before, so no

>like the government did with British Rail
Is the british rail really in a bad situation?

I think lineker is worth it. alan fucking shearer shouldn't be getting £450k a year for his inane punditry though.

does this include his twitter feed?

>I think lineker is worth it.
How exactly FFS? How is he worth £1.8m per year to do a job he doesn't necessarily have to do? It's role that others, who don't demand the amount, can do.

No, that is completely unrelated to BBC

Why do you plebs have such a hard time understanding Linekers salary??

>English
>Successful footballer both home and aborad
>Nice guy image
>Literally a house wife and grannys favourite
>Non threatening
>Can actually talk and present a show in a way that does not border on exciting, but is not dull.
>Consumate professional
>Can actually provide insight into whats happening as opposed to somebody like Adrian Chiles on MOTD2
>Has shown absolute loyalty to the BBC when he has better offers elsewhere in a period when MOTD needed to replace one of its most iconic presenters in Des Lynham

That Lineker does not draw complaints, does not turn viewers off makes him a worthwhile investment.

Look at the viewing figures for MOTD vs MOTD2 vs MOTD3. Even on reduced capacity weekends where there are little to no fixtures Lineker still pulls in a minimum of 4m viewers on a bad day.

>Why do you plebs have such a hard time understanding Linekers salary??
Because what he does at the BBC does not require him being paid that much, you stupid cunt.

People watch MOTD when Logan, Walker, Chapman host it, so Lineker is not an integral and vital part of that show.

wish they would let gabby logan do it every week desu

>Has shown absolute loyalty to the BBC
By being paid nearly £2m a year and subsidises his earnings with a BT Sport contract and Walkers endorsement.

I wonder how loyal he'd be to the BBC if he was paid a tenth of what he is.

>chris evans the highest paid

fucking how?

Because the BBC is fucking deranged and rewards cocksuckers who vehemently defend the organisation on the press and on social media.

he's a nice fella - never booked you know - and he makes it comfy.

FACHT

You're not forced to pay for it through threat of prosecution and criminalisation though.

rail is a devolved issue, but it's a disgrace in scotland.

an 8 year contract was awarded to the Dutch company who run the rail network in Netherlands, and all the profit they make in Scotland goes primarily into improving the Dutch services. They also charge us the highest rail fares in the whole of Europe. And it's not like they even do a good job, they are fucking disgraceful at it and have the cheek to charge us an arm and a leg and then spend the money on the Dutch services.

the situation in England is bad as well, although i don't know the details. they have bad problems with delays and cancelations in routes going into London i believe

I dislike Chris Evans but he gets at worst 10m listeners a day, it floats around 14m. That's a feat. I get why he is paid so much, even if I agree it is far too much. But Lineker is entirely replaceable.

The worst part that most people aren't picking up on is that Gary's salary isn't even his biggest earner. He also now has those connections within the BBC to get his own shows (he owns Goalhanger Films) put on the air and he gets a comfortable payment for those too. He even saves a bit of money by hosting a lot of them himself.

How much did they paid for Mbappé and Pogba again?
Those are some pretty bad weekly jokes.

Hopefully they succeed in destroying the bbc

>All those Radio 2 and 5live presenters
Haven't heard of 90% of them but the only one I can say with confidence deserves nothing for his show is Simon Mayo

Terry Wogan got a similar audience prior to him and Evans successor will likely too. People will tune it because it is BBC Radio 2 Breakfast.

Oh and his show gets 9m listeners. telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/26/chris-evans-listener-figures-drop-after-his-departure-from-top-g/

>"People will tune it because it is BBC Radio 2 Breakfast"
>Proceeds to link an outdated article that proves people do actually tune out at times

What did he mean by this?

It's clearly OP and he's been autistic all thread

Are people still listening to it or not?. The brand that appeals to most is the BBC, not Chris Evans. Only Attenborough is bigger than the Beeb, everyone else is expendable, so why is it necessary to pay them huge sums of public money?

And if the date of the article annoys you. Post a recent one that supports your claim he gets 10m/14m listeners.

BTFO of any bollocks you've posted though

I think a child Syrian refugee should take his place instead

Basically yes

Enjoy Americanisation.

southern and overground(owned by london) are the bad ones in the south
the rest are ok

If the BBC is as great as people make out than surely it can reform its revenue model and make it purely a choice-based subscription

>Lineker costs an average of 50p a year per MOTD viewer
>Evans an average of 25p a year per listener
>WHY DONT THEY GIVE 25P TO OUR BRAVE NURSES?

>he thinks viewing figures matter for a publicly funded broadcaster

lmao

That logic assumes viewers want quality tv. Mostly they don't. People want to see strangers fucking, delusional freaks and emotional breakdowns.

>Public funding goes into this shit
I'd be pissed too.

>He unironically said Barca PSG match was the best match he ever saw
KEK

>Mostly they don't
More people watched Planet Earth II than X-Factor.

Don't assume to know what the people actually want.

>Isn't this just a scheme to destroy the BBC, like the government did with British Rail and are doing with the NHS atm?
Yeah

BBC are a public broadcaster in competition with private ones and the Tories just told every private company exactly how much all of BBC's talent makes so they can go and poach them

There is no benefit to making their wages known

>so they can go and poach them
Who the fuck is going to pay Matt Baker more than the £500k he gets at the BBC?

>People want to see strangers fucking, delusional freaks and emotional breakdowns
No they don't, TV channels broadcast that shit because it costs fuck all to make that doesn't mean people prefer it

ITV paid Susanna Reid a shitload of money just because some people turned on breakfast to wank to her

guilty

You mean before BBC releases details of her salary?

You're posting shit, m8

Good, they've wasted taxpayer money nd their news broadcasting has turned from mostly impartial to complete lefty drivel

this

Yes I'm illustrating what happens to the BBC with an example where a broadcaster knew what a BBC employee was earning before they offered them a contract.

Unfortunately you're thick as pig shit so even this is too much for you to comprehend

>Tories just told every private company exactly how much all of BBC's talent makes so they can go and poach them

You say this, then now admit that other broadcaster already knew the salaries of BBC "talent".

Fucking dopey cunt.

>0.04 kyle walkers a year for a SJW crisp merchant

No they already knew her salary because she was up for renewal and had a new offer from the BBC

This is about them knowing how much everyone is on at all times so they can swoop in and steal them

Unironically watch dave more than i'd watch BBC

They can find out regardless, they don't need a mass release of data regarding salaries, you utter fucking knob.

Isn't most of Dave just BBC repeats?

Or is that some other channel?

QUEST is where its at m8

TV licence needs to be scrapped. Why am I subsidising these salaries?

You know the BBC follows whatever the government policy is. If anything it's got a right bias.

hmmm, so the bbc loses its six nations and the open coverage so they can continue paying people who do the same job as others do for a fraction of the cost.

why does reading a fucking autocue demand nearly £2m a year.

then there's all the money he makes from goalhanger productions who the bbc pay to make programs

>bbc
>right bias

lmao

Fiscally right, socially left?

Does it really? You only really watch for the football

They could get James Richardson for a quarter the money

>Dares to publicly hold political opinions
>All of a sudden Sup Forumstards constantly shit on him and make threads about him

Really makes you think

I see Yer Da is fuming about "bloody left luvvies" getting paid again

He doesn't even do it regularly as well

Same with all of them. Norton is one of the few who is is irreplaceable. The rest just present and read from script. Who watches strictly for Tess Daly or Strokeface Winklemen? Can't believe the BBC just bends over and throws money at everyone. They should just say fuck you're replaceable

They could save half a million just from scrapping Shearer. Wouldn't make a difference to motd, might even improve it.

Unfortunately FT banter has not caught on on Sup Forums

>FT banter

u wot m8

Why the fuck do they even need to have ''''experts'''anyway?


I always watch it the following day online skipping the ''analysis'',like fuck,I know the Hull centre half should have stuck with his man without that nigger Wright saying it, i know Charlie Austin should have scored from there without halfwit Alan Shearer saying he's got to do better for him.

Just fucking scrap those useless cunts alltogether and show the damn highlights.

Yes
a woman

Football Twitter. Yer da banter is all over it.

Stop the cultural appropriation, Yer Da stems from Scottish twitter, particularly Limmy, as a way to mock outraged daily mail readers who spend their days getting angry over the colour of their passports or saying how much better everything used to be

Argument is about his salary, not the shit he mouths off about on Twitter

Chapman is a much better MOTD presenter than linecuck

Yup, I even preferred that Norn Irish lad who used to do it.

He was a good man

He's a twat mate nothing to do with his views. Well, apart from his footballing ones which are absolute dog shite.

HATED colin murray

annoying cunt

Fuck off, Gary. Your days are numbered

not a fan of gary either, definitely shouldn't be paid anywhere near as much as he gets but at least he doesn't make the program unwatchable

He's the biggest prick ever to get a job on tv. Hope he's on the dole now.

Wrong religion?

I really appreciate how the Tories managed to release this to brush off their imminent shit storm.

>bongs pay almost £2 million in taxes to listen to a man lecture to them about accepting more refugees

As long as it isn't Adrian Chiles I don't care who presents football

but it's been in the planning for ages, you melt

YES fuck me he's the only cunt holding this shit show together, an surprisingly Jermaine jenas.

Mmm. Jermaine, you need to leave
