Gary Lineker OUT at BBC-WONT Get Payoff -Bosses Lose Patience With His Arrogance
Gary Lineker QUITS The BBC: He WON'T Get BBC Payoff After Bosses Lose Patience With His Arrogance
Gary Lineker OUT at BBC After 26 Years Amid Antisemitism Row
BBC 19 MAY 2025
His departure comes after he shared an Instagram post about Zionism that included a drawing of a rat, historically used as an antisemitic insult
In a new statement, Lineker says: I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am
BBC director general Tim Davie says Gary has acknowledged the mistake he made, and praises the presenter as a defining voice in football coverage
Last year, Lineker announced his departure from Match of the Day, but said he would still present FA Cup and World Cup coverage next season. He will now leave after the final Match of the Day of the season on Sunday
Lineker could not keep quiet on social media in the end, it brought him down. many feel he was GROSSLY OVERPAID - GBP1.35MIL a year, was BBCs highest paid presenter and thought he was more important than the others...
