danielsroundabout 9 Posted February 27, 2014 The point that strikes me as far as Lineker is concerned is that an understudy has to be brought in every Sunday for MOTD2.Given his reported salary, is it really too much to ask that he fronts two programmes per week? The lazy git. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holtcantshoot 0 Posted February 27, 2014 [quote user="Gingerpele"]You best organise a country wide boycott then. Because clearly more than enough people are watching. And the BBC don''t waste millions of ''our cash'' on unedited presenters.You could say that about loads of shows on loads of channels. Why does any TV football show have commentators? Why does Bargain Hunt even exist? Why does TV exist?[/quote]Why does Bargain Hunt even exist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted February 27, 2014 The problem with Match of the Day is that is relies far too much on big "names" rather than intelligent analysis or insight. Alan Hansen was fun 20 years ago when he was arguing with Jimmy Hill, because he was blunt, and said exactly what he thought, without sugar-coating it. Now both him and Lawrenson come across as old cynics. For all their "big-name" experience, Hansen never managed, Shearer had a brief stint as a caretaker manager, and Lawrenson last managed the dizzying heights of Peterborough in 1990.Manish Bhatt on the Football League Show is far superior to Lineker. Their best pundit is Kevin Kilbane, who is like a breath of fresh air, but only seems to be on Football Focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 28, 2014 Keep Lineker presenting and have a guest with him each week. It would be better. Perhaps with a few ''pitchside'' reps summarising each game. No hansen, lawro or even worse mills on the panel. Maybe a smidgen of shearer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
