I don't understand the Gary Linekar salary. He WAS a footballer, he aint anymore - so why pay him a footballers salary? Esp when any basic presenter could do the same.
Does the public even care who hosts MOTD? As a football fan, I sure don't..
But if they don't pay him that he'd go work for someone else,and have to find someone who could replace him.Does the public even care who hosts MOTD? As a football fan, I sure don't..
Except the first bit just isn't going to happen and the second bit is trivial. His salary is a joke.
Massive salaries and I see Zoe Ball just been given £1M pay rise.
Yet pensioners over 75 now have to pay for a licence, the NHS would benefit from more funding, we as a nation are going to be paying more to cover the cost of CV19, the furlough, the people who are losing jobs, businesses going out of business. The whole thing just stinks. We need to bring an end to this celebrity thing and to the BBC licence. How do we do it?

Was going to mention the feltz being up there as usual but Ball must have some compromising info to be paid that much.
Curious what value they bring. Maybe increased demand for tv licenses?
Zoe Ball must have negotiate a blinder of a deal - £1 increase in salary for every listener lost.Curious what value they bring. Maybe increased demand for tv licenses?
Recently a few different people have been sitting in for both Ball and Feltz. While the format remains the same, their presentation skills are always better for being less than hyper hysterical

Steve Wright
If he mentions that Serious jockin' (No G) again.......Hasn't it spun off a Serious rockin' on someone else's show?
I am bl**dy staggered by Zoe Ball's salary. What a totally talentless woman she is. I wouldn't pay her £100k.
At least Feltz has intelligence.
The annoying part is that advertisers pay the salaries of other DJs yet the public have to pay this ridiculously inflated salary bill.

Every time these pop up it just annoys me, I know it's just the market rate and so on, not mentioning that the BBC will have huge influence on such market.
But are these people really worthy of being the highest paid public sector workers? More that our leaders, brain surgeons, doctors and so on. If anything after Covid most have shown themselves up to be brain dead morons.
How is it the market rate for most of those jobs? I would suggest they are very much at the top end of the scale.But are these people really worthy of being the highest paid public sector workers?

The BBC has no need to chase ratings why do we need to pay radio DJ's massive salaries?
The 'market' doesn't exist.

I fully agree but they defend the pay by saying they need to retain the so called talent. We all know it's a load of st there will be hundreds of people who could do the job better out there.
So why do you think the BBC doesn’t want to pay less and get people that “could do the job better” Seems odd that they’re paying more than they need to for worse presenters?
Surprises me how many radio presenters are on that list. Steve Wright FFS! I'd say there's hardly any competition for "talent" in that field, because the commercial stations are now nearly all just a bloke with a computer and a playlist. BBC seems to be stuck in the past, paying so much money to these has-beens.

Lots of people bitter about other people’s earnings, it all sounds a bit jealous and socialist to me.
If it’s so easy and those people earning those salaries are so rubbish, why don’t you guys all become top earning TV and radio talent?
Yeah....so many jealous lefties on this thread. If it’s so easy and those people earning those salaries are so rubbish, why don’t you guys all become top earning TV and radio talent?

What does Alan Shearer do for the BBC apart from being a pundit on MOTD? Surely that alone can’t justify nigh-on £400k per year?
He's a multi millionaire many times over from his playing career, I'm surprised he's even willing to give up a good chunk of his weekend now for < £5k a week. I wouldn't if I was in his shoes.If you want someone of his calibre to do the job, they're not going to do it for £500 a week are they?
