He already works for other broadcasters and runs a successful podcast production company. He's not going to be sitting at home bored and broke

There will need to be a BBC U-turn I think.

Manish Bhasin might get the call up at this rate
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

That's now part of Banjay who make both Pointless and House of Games, he stopped being an employee of them when his career picked up.(10-03-2023, 06:48 PM)thePineapple Wrote: Regarding Richard Osman's stance, I see no reason why him tweeting in support of Lineker is any different to what Lineker said himself - they both freelance for the BBC (or at least I assume Osman is), but there's been no big headlines, and Tim Davie hasn't pulled him aside.Does Osman freelance for the BBC or does he appear on independent productions that are commissioned by or broadcast on it?
This is what I don't get - this obsession with Lineker in particular is purely arbitrary, from what I can make out.
So no, he's freelance and has never AFAIK been a BBC employee

Ben Brown suggested Katharine Downes on the News Channel earlier.

Mike Bushell should host, he’d no doubt love the limelight

As it stands there either won't be a MOTD tomorrow night, or it'll be highlights only and no studio content
