Gary Lineker has been "overwhelmed" by support from his Match of the Day colleagues after they decided to boycott Saturday night's show. The broadcaster announced that the England legend would be 'stepping back' from the popular football program on Friday after he "breached guidelines" by criticising the government's new Migration Bill on social media.
According to the Mirror, the BBC has now announced that Match of the Day will not feature any punditry or a host. Lineker is said to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support he has had from his fellow pundits. “Everyone in the industry is appalled at how Gary has been hung out to dry, and the general BBC inconsistency. The support has been overwhelming which, essentially, is a massive pie in the face for the BBC.”
