    It's a fast moving story but the BBC need to find someone to host it.

      How will the Mail/Express spin this one?
      They either hate the BBC or have to say that the BBC is right?

      Or they have to run a distraction story.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Ah but did they provide a sub or expect the BBC to sort it out?

            No presenters tomorrow
            https://www.theguardian.com/football...of-the-day-bbc


            Match of the Day will be broadcast without any presenters or pundits this weekend, after host Gary Lineker was suspended from the BBC for breaching impartiality guidelines with his criticism of the government’s asylum policies.
            In a dramatic and unexpected escalation of a crisis that has been brewing all week, the corporation took the decision to take its highest-paid presenter off its flagship football show after he was criticised by Tory MPs and the rightwing media.

            His suspension immediately led to displays of solidarity from Lineker’s co-hosts Ian Wright and Alan Shearer, who publicly announced they would not be turning up to work to present Saturday’s show. Faced with an effective strike by its on-screen staff and unable to find willing replacements, the BBC took the unprecedented decision to announce the Premier League highlights programme would be going ahead without any hosts or studio presentation. Instead, it will only feature match footage.

              I suspect more people will enjoy MOTD tomorrow without their inane blathering and they'll have record viewing figures.

              As the beeb is desperate to save money, they could have inadvertently stumbled on a way to significantly cut the wages bill.

                They ought to just get some random fans in like they used on Sky (orwhatever). Let hilarious mayhem ensue.

                  Possibly a good application for AI?
                  Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                    Added info from Sky News.

                    https://news.sky.com/story/match-of-...ditry-12830720

                    Leading match commentators including Steve Wilson, Simon Brotherton, Conor McNamara and Robyn Cowen also said they would not be taking part.

                    The programme could still use some form of commentary usually provided for broadcasts outside the UK.
