after he broke impartial rules set out by the broadcaster.
Match of the Day co-hosts Alan Shearer and Ian Wright also stood down from presenting the show as they demonstrated solidarity with Lineker. Micah Richards, Jermaine Jenas and Alex Scott also ruled themselves out of appearing on the show.
In 2021, he was paid £1.36 million, a new salary rate after he took a voluntary pay cut from his previous £1.75m salary. At the time he said it was the "right thing to do".
How much are footballers being paid? Nurses and junior doctors? Why focus on Gary Lineker? Oh wait and minute, he stands up for refugees.
Too much
and still can't pay his tax
Why does it matter?
TOO MUCH!
LBC playing 'smoke and mirrors' for the Tories here Lets focus on Lineker's earnings and not the issues with the government that he highlighted!
Self made Whats the problem?
Clearly it hasn't turned him into a selfish git. Tory MPs and media mouthpieces take note.
Did you get onto his tax affairs - Barbados, Ingenious, IR35. For such a caring socialist...
And ? Earned it What the market pays ….🤷♀️
Waiting for LBC to publish the earnings of all their employees…
Why is it an issue while we wait for the PROMISED tax return for our rather wealthy PrimeMinister Sunak? A man whose wife still makes £ millions from trading in Russia? Surely that is more significant as his policies affect people who won't even earn a million in their life
Earning used to avoid tax. Easier to spend other peoples money
Can't he spend some of his mega-wads privately getting his ears surgically pinned back a bit? We know NHS does it for jug-eared kids to stop the bullying at school. Garry Lineker wouldn't qualify I don't think. I mean, celebs get all sorts of stuff surgically done to themselves.
Kuennsberg told everyone yesterday apparently. Twice I hear.
Probably got a pay rise
Who cares
A question asked by Weatherspooners all over England.
Of more interest is that he swerves the tax and the BBC dodge's the National Insurance and other overheads of employing this full time staff member. He does not act like a contractor.
Surely he’s worth what the BBC are prepared to pay
Why hasn't Sunak released his tax returns yet? Or doesn't he pay tax? What is he hiding? Where is the Covid Investigation report? Where is the Russia Report? Where is the report into the illegal prorogation of Parliament? Are they all in the long grass?
Comical how hes paid that amount just talking about football..hardly a difficult job,literally anyone could do that for a fraction of his wages..saying that would you work for the bbc👀
Who gives a damn?
Let’s see how much the 4 Tory donors earn - collectively.
Too much..
Ah, so now you will try and get people to say, he earns so much money, he gets so much of the licence fee, why doesn't he do more for refugees. This is a poor article and completely irrelevant
Small issue I do not care - how much has the Liar in Chief Johnson earned? where did that 37 billion for Track and No Trace go?
That has nothing to do with anyone else but Gary and the bbc
