Gary Lineker has apparently been offered a big new job. It comes after the 62-year-old was suspended from Match of the Day because the BBC said he had breached guidelines by tweeting criticism of the UK Government's new policy towards asylum seekers.
The well-known presenter and ex-football player said he had been asked to step back from the iconic show. The programme has been left in chaos after a number of pundits rushed to support Mr Lineker.
Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and others all boycotted Saturday night's (March 11) show as a result of the announcement. The programme went ahead in a reduced 20-minute highlights-only format without a studio presentation or post-match interviews, reports Birmingham Live.
