Gary Lineker replacement sweepstake

[Runub]

Hinchcliffe. Media experience and has the charisma to carry it off

 

[ClausThomsen]

Lot of people concerned with 'box ticking'.

Go back and watch Lineker's first few appearances. He didn't even tick the box of competent presenter but was given the job over much more able candidates.

Alex Scott is new favourite to host Motd and Joey Barton has a scathing response

Lineker is off...

Joey Barton objects so that's good enough for me.

My god I hope so

It'll be Ashley Young when he rejects another year with us offered in May/June.

 

[hallamblue]

Thank god for iPlayer. I just forward through the inane drivel they all talk and watch the football.

It'll be Ashley Young when he rejects another year with us offered in May/June.

And so he should, anything less than a 2 year deal is an insult to him.

Should be able to take any criticism on the chin too

Bbc - so my guess is a black, female, transgender, gay, disabled person who's never previously shown an interest in sport.

This is the fish that everyone was waiting to see caught on the end of the line.

 

[Pilks]

Hopefully Mark Chapman

I dunno. I mean, he might not have said nasty things about our loveable neighbours, but shooting John Lennon might still count against him...

Yeah but honestly if they happened to be the best candidate* I wouldn't care.

I know this isnt down to the presenter. Not really bothered, haven't watched motd for over 15 years - way too much chat and attempts to justify cheating.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Alex Scott was truly awful the times she fronted MotD 2 so it's got to be Mark Chapman who is a top presenter. Gabby Logan a good alternative.

I still can't fathom out why Lineker wasn't kept on. He could've done it for another 5/10 years at least. Good to see him in his Everton bib kit on the opening credits of MotD this season though.

 

[heatmeiser]

Pretty much. He's the best they have. I think Alex Scott is better as a pundit, and despite Gabby Logan and Kelly Somers being great too, they're not as good as Chapman is.

I'd be fine if they went back to the Des Lynam style host that doesn't pretend to be an expert and got someone like Gabby Logan or Kelly Cates, I think they're both good presenters. Alex Scott is a pretty awful presenter but fine as a pundit.

It's got to be one from Chapman or Logan really, depends which way they want to go - pub expert type or neutral presenter.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

It will be a female presenter but should be Chapman as he has done a good job on the sister show and deserves his chance.
