Us Licence-payers are coughing up £Millions for about a dozen "experts" who are about on a par with The Man On The Street - no better.
I'd cringe if I ever found out that Garth Fatboy Crooks was getting any more than (say) £20 for his pathetic stunts on Final Score - same with Lawrenson and Jason Roberts. (Kilbane's actually not bad, nor is Jenas.)
But when I heard 5 years ago that Lineker was getting £2m a year direct from you, me and every other Licence-holder in the country I just thought the BBC Directors had gone stark raving mad. This money is more or less like Income Tax, and if we paid MPs that sort of money there would be a revolution.
OK (some might say) Sky would pay him that much, and I'd say "Let the bastard go then" - there's plenty of other wankers like him who would do it for Minimum Wage (rather than become a has-been nobody).
And I'm assuming Bumfluff hasn't got a friend in the world. If he had, someone would tell him that "beard" ain't going to grow, and that he looks a total twat.
...not a MOTD or a Lineker fan I take it then, talkSAFT?
