Mark Chapman or Gabby Logan surely. Both have been excellent presenters for several years now across a number of sports and both are more than qualified for the top sports gig at the Beeb.


Colin Murray would be my first choice.

Worked / works for the BBC? Was superb on the EFL coverage. Brilliant on fighting talk.

Top presenter.

I think Murray is a right bellend.

Mark Chapman for me. Thankfully Jenas timed his misdemeanours at the right time to remove him from the conversation.

Some proper edgy takes on this thread.

Felt like the 2 being prepped for this role were Jermaine Jenas and Alex Scott, and now Jenas is ruled out it leaves it as Alex Scott for me.

I think Chappers or Gabby Logan would be better, but imagine BBC are going to want someone 20 years younger than them to grow with the show as a long term presenter like Lineker did. Both of them would feel like a bit of a stop gap and also not sure Chappers would want it even.

FWIW - I always like Alex Scott on everything I see her on

I think it's got to be someone whose husband was a top rugby international. It doesn't have to be anyone whose father was a professional footballer.

Good point about the Lineker and Pals vibe.

I wouldn't choose Laura Woods, she would probably fall into the Woods and Pals version of MOTD.

Now would also be a good time to reset the salary to a sensible level.


"Now would also be a good time to reset the salary to a sensible level. "

Can they do that though? I mean they should, but you can see the problem already, yes, we know Mr Lineker was being paid £1m+ a year to do this job, but Ms/Mrs xxxxx, we would like to offer you £200k a year, that alright?

It’s a bit like the fuss over right on Top of the Pops presenters when that was in terminal decline because the world has moved on.

The first step would be to call it ‘Match of the 4 days’ and put it on when the Prem has bothered to saturate the global market with its daft UK kick offs.

Just as many premier players get paid far to much so does Lineker. 1.25 million a year and the Beeb has the cheek to stop over 75's getting a free licence and charging what they do for continuous repeats. As far as Lineker is concerned I think some of this is to do with his views. But then the Beeb don't have any room to talk they have been biased for years.

Why not ? Ignoring Lineker should never have ended up being paid that much in the first place. MoTD presenter is not a 1millon plus a year role.

There are plenty who'd take 200k to sit on a sofa, and read a script for 19 days worth of work a year.

I just assumed everyone else fast forwards the chatty bits too..? I enjoyed the banter around shearer not winning an FA cup but in hindsight I think that was because of Ian Wright.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

How much of the problem with Lineker his salary, Vs the fact he dares to have political views which don't sit well with Colin from Portsmouth?

Frankly his migrant opinions are outside of football and real world politic social media nonsense.

His wage is crazy and disgusting to be honest.
In recent memory hes just wained and his bias to Leicester is just daft.
