SACKED !

What business is it of his?

Although good comment, Wolvesman:

Wolvesman, Staffs, United Kingdom, 11 minutes ago

I'm no Lineker fan but the lengths this paper will go to stir up hatred towards him makes me feel uneasy, when anything happens anywhere the first place this paper goes is Linekers social media...why?

[shivah]

Rooney clearly spent too much watching his illegitimate boy play darts...

The grandmother's of Birmingham can breathe again.

Yep agree about the DM, but this was carried by several sources on the club's Newsnow stream.

Lineker demanded it's removal and The BBC didn't waste any time in jumping.

This sort of stuff is commonplace in taking the piss out of members of the football world. Why the suddenly defence of the twat who would have taken us into League One.

Yep, Lineker is relevant to this story for sticking his beak in, but Wolvesman's general point is fair.

I have had 3 Glenfiddichs and 2 JDs already.

The message is don't fuck up the next appointment.

Have I missed something ? Has Lineker become the new DG of the BBC?

Is there any evidence that the Beeb deleted the Tweet because of Lineker's request? Or is that just speculation?

[Zambo]

According to several sources, yes. Here are a couple from a dozen.

BBC Sport has deleted a bizarre tweet mocking up Wayne Rooney as a Peaky Blinder following his sacking by Birmingham City - after being told to do so by Gary Lineker.

Neither of those articles confirm that the Beeb deleted the Tweet because of Lineker.
They may well have done, of course.

[Zambo]

Yep, you read and make your mind up.

Both the BBC tweet and Lineker's was removed at the same time.

Can we keep this thread to managers please, kancut?

[kancutlawns]

Sure will. Sorry.

No directive on resignation and sacking being different concepts?

Although I would accept that football clubs do like to use the old “mutual consent” euphemism when off-fucking their latest touchline chump.
