I’m predicting Gabby Logan with Danny Murphy & Jermain Jenas.

This is the sort of situation where you need everybody to boycott, including production staff, and preferably the whole of BBC Sport.The production staff are the most vulnerable, because they are the least financially insecure and most disposable. You need the likes of Shearer out there in support. He’ll probably go and creosote his fence instead of supporting his colleague.

I’d say Mark Lawrenson has his phone charged up and at his side.

I’d expect Shearer is just the kind of working class lad turned Tory who’d have no problem turning up and taking his cheque

Shearer loves the Saudis for “getting his club back”.

They’ll give it Giggsy t’end a season.

Shearer has pulled out!

I snorted out my tea reading that

Doubt Mark Chapman would want to present it either. Whoever does hosts it, will forever be thought of as a scab.

Had Joe Brolley weighed in yet?

Presenter: Boris Johnson
Analysts: Nadine Dorries, Alan Sugar, Sol Campbell, Nigel Farage
Commentators: Alan Partridge, Laura Kuennsberg, Lozza Fox, that guy who said you could grow concrete

Lineker

Chappers?

[Ralphie]

I assume all national broadcasters are in a WhatsApp group together, maybe the Beeb could ask RTE if they could borrow Tony O’Donighue?

[Pirlo]

His brother is a pervert as well, no?

[Tassotti]

This is made for Boris Johnson

@balbec

Chappers?

Mark Chapman has a bizarre deal where he presents the prestigious League Cup only on Sky. He has a foot in the door there and I’d imagine they or ITV or BT would take him or Lineker full time in a heartbeat.

This feels seismic for the UK and it might ultimately backfire on the tories. It’s akin to Varadkar manoeuvring behind the scenes to get Darren Frehill off the sports news on Morning Ireland. People will accept plenty but they won’t accept that.
