TheEnchanter Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's relative to the amounts of money anyone hosting a regular show on prime time TV gets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... a) 10:30 on a Saturday night is hardly prime time. b) he isn't even the full-time host and is absent quite regularly. c) unlike some programmes it gets three months off a year. d) until recently he was the highest paid presenter at the corporation for 90 minutes per week on air, so not very relative to anyone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe,but many of them are on Commercial channels and responsible only to their shareholders..my twist on it,is at a time when we see a post on Owlstalk about a football club going,to the wall(founded 1874)..whilst at the same time a Football pundit(s) can be paid these sums its Alice through the looking glass' (Lewis Caroll) I know there are many other in my view obscene examples(what was Ozills wages at Arsenal? £350,000 a week?? couldnt get into the team,& not even their highest earner now:Aubameyang is) https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12631822/arsenal-highest-paid-player-aubameyang-ozil/ We know what some of the alleged wages were of our high earners too,all part of the bigger problem of Football finances in my view.Premier League dont pay Linakers et als wages,we do though dont we? Thats the difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I like Lineker on MOTD but to be honest, you could have almost anyone competent present that show and my enjoyment of the programme would be based on the matches shown. And not much else. E.g. I don’t enjoy MOTD any less when Gabby Logan or Mark Chapman present it. So yeah, the amount he gets paid is puzzling. I suppose Lineker will be hosting the coverage of England’s Euro games next summer, which will be watched by most households that have even a passing interest in football and is seen as a safe pair of hands. That will push his salary up. But then you could argue that lots of famous actors, music artists, sports people, TV personalities earn crazy sums of money compared to 99% of the population. Bit unfair to scapegoat those that you don’t care for (or in the case of certain media outlets, those that you have an agenda against). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately some people seem really touchy about topics being posted in the "right" place. I would have thought there are more pressing things to worry about or comment on than something as petty as if it's posted in the right place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's unfair to have a moan at someone whose wages I help pay, without any option. Others you mention, music stars etc, I do have the option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only agenda i have is the out of control Frankenstein monster,that has become almost anything to do with football....except of course the lower tiers & the fans.....I highlighted Ozils wages at Arsenal as an example....gets more in a Month(approx 200,000 more) than Lineker gets in a Year.!!!!! FFS..Whatever example you use,(in football)there is one more extreme Dont even mention Messi or Ronaldo....(not UK examples fair enough) By comparison Lineker earned more than what some Championship managers got for talking about football :https://sportsmaza.com/money/english-premier-league-managers-salary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
