    Is he the highest paid black presenter in BBC history? :D

    Gary Lineker.

    On the 1 hand, he seems to be paid an awful lot of money for something that looks simple. I mean, he is getting a salary close to what a Reserve at a Premier League club is paid.

    Funny how people who talk about market forces completely ignore it when it comes to Sport or the BBC.

    Gary Lineker makes the job look simple. But it is not. And, if money were his prime objective, he could undoubtedly earn rather more at BT Sport. But he chose not to.

    Modern society seems to have a problem with people who do well for themselves & earn big bucks. Why is that? Jealousy? Bitterness? I really have no idea.

    Whether you like Lineker or not, he does his job supremely well, & market forces suggest his salary is justified. That's how the commercial world works.

    I wonder what he would be earning if he was still playing today.

    Talking of huge sums
    The transfer of Frankie de Jong to Man Utd stalled because Barcelona owe the player £17 MILLION in unpaid wages 🤯

    Even worse than that.

    Shady deal to defer wages so as to avoid breaching FFP Regulations.
