He hasn’t decided to go now, he’s not had his contract renewed He's freelance, so it would have to be a mutual decision. He's hardly been sacked. If he’s freelance why does his contract run till the end of this season |

It's a bit sad when people are judged by their personal views rather than their ability to do the job. People can't accept people having different views even on a football show where they only talk about football, it's ridiculous. It's not even for football reasons why a lot of people don't like him, that's a YOU problem not a him problem I have a dream that we will one day live in a nation where presenters will not be judged by the colour of their politics but by the content of their football punditry. |

He’s a tosser, but besides that if I do judge him by his punditry he’s shit at that as well. Always starts off with a shit joke about his mates then says right off to old Trafford. Not bad for one million quid a year. Oh and his overuse of his octopus arms to exaggerate what’s he’s saying when he talks. |

I think Lineker is good - he makes it seem easy as Lynam did before him, which is a sign of a job well done. The only one I like from the professionals, who haven't been players, is Colin Murray. He won't get it though. It's going to be incredibly difficult to replace Lineker, as you say he makes it seem easy, just like Lynam did. Unless it's somebody completely left field who nobody has mentioned and is a total wildcard, I do think that Jason Mohammad is going to be probably the closest to meeting that specific criteria.
The secret of Des and Gary's success is they both effortlessly blend a laid-back style with a subtle, yet playful sense of humour. Jason Mohammed seems a nice guy, but he's just another by-the-numbers presenter without any real charm. If they ditched the punditry (which I think they should) and kept on a link presenter between matches, Jason would be fine for that. I've always thought this even before Gary's departure was announced, but I think Pete Graves from Sky Sports would be a perfect replacement – very engaging, plenty of laid-back wit, and has a good camaraderie with his co-presenters. |

I see there’s a few stories about this morning that Mark Chapmen is not happy about sharing the role with Kelly Somers🤔
How true this is who knows

Punditry is all about stating your opinion and the bleedin' obvious for 90 minutes. My candidate is Garth Crooks. He ticks the BBC black box, he’s funny because he often gets it wrong and he’s great at mispronunciation of players names. What’s not to like?

Perhaps they should go down the HIGNFY route and have different presenter each week

Surprised nobody's mentioned Laura Woods. (If they go for a female presenter). Seemed to be a rising star after getting lots of praise presenting Brekkie on Talk Sport.
Colin Murray is a good shout - but then the potential Liverpool bias may be an issue for some. (Obviously not an issue when he was fronting the EFL highlights).

If Lineker was centre right he would have been denounced as a far right bigot that should have been cancelled years ago . That's a you problem. |

He's not there to give his analysis of the games. Funnily enough though, when he does actually give his two pence worth ie the Kane analysis at the Euro's, he's very much on the money. |

She ticks the female, race, and LGBTQ+ boxes all with the same ink. Never mind that she’s a crap presenter. I love MOTD, but I would need to delay watching by an hour so I could fast forward the bits where she opens her Cockney gob! |

Wouldn't the role start next August though? - She'll have given birth by then. Just noted she's an Arsenal Fan. I've gone right off her as a candidate  |

If Linekar was shouting stop the boats a lot of the people that don't like him would love him. Most people aren't left or right but there seems pressure from both sides to choose. The extremes are getting way too much attention |

I’ve never understood the hate for him. He was a brilliant player for England and (in my opinion) a really good presenter. MOTD will be poorer without him.

Let’s face it, the exact same clowns in this thread celebrating him leaving due to his political beliefs, we all know would be the first ones bleating about "the best person should get the job".
As well as gloating in joy at Clarksons recent interventions in politics, as a TV presenter.
Moronic, painful and glaringly simple minded.

If he’s freelance why does his contract run till the end of this season Because freelance contracts run until they er, end. Why am I even saying this? Anyway, he will be on what Pulis referred to as a rolling contract, but a freelance one, and by the sounds of it, he and the BBC have decided not to carry on employing him on the same T&Cs and they've called it a day. |

Moronic small minded hypocrites He is the best person for the job. But oh no, he made a few quid helping sell Walkers crisps, and didn't like the last government. What a rogue, get him gone. |
