And some of the newer pundits who don’t have the same reputation to be able to make a stand and it not effect their career

Maybe. Sporting Pundits through are never completely reliant on reputation building like most up and coming presenters might be in terms of building a reputation through because of their first career before hand.

Is he actually an employee of the BBC or technically a freelancer?

He's freelance.

Lineker says he’s freelance. The Taxman says he does so much regular work for the BBC that he is in effect an employee. 

All set for a ‘juicy’ courtroom battle later in the year.

Manish usually presents for Premier League Productions on Saturdays I believe so is unlikely to be available.

You can be freelance but still pay tax like you an employee.

Laura Kuenssberg could be a contender. 

"Welcome to Saturday with Laura Kuenssberg. Different day but same old S**** we discuss on a Sunday morning."

This is Jeremy Clarkson / James May / Richard Hammond take 2.

Bye bye Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and all BBC Football. Hello ITV Football.

I could imagine the Sunday with LK titles suddenly becoming a lot more dynamic if they swapped out the LK theme for the MOTD music

Don't know, but I hear D'Oiley Osman is quite the football fanatic.
