Thank you very much to @GaryLineker for sticking around long enough to make sure Jermaine Jenas didn’t take over Match of the Day.

Been asked to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the new presenter of MOTD and chief shelf stacker at Tesco. Said no to all because I am dedicated to Balham as Mayor

Things are getting desperate, we need a new Archbishop, James Bond and Match of the Day presenter now!! Surely there’s a few stragglers from Blazin’ Squad looking for a job?

For a sense of balance, the new host of Match Of The Day should be a mascot from a different brand of potato crisps. Perhaps, Mr. Tayto could step into Salt 'N' Lineker's shoes?
Or if he's unavailable, how about giving the little blue salt bag a chance, BBC? pic.twitter.com/pwQqwqMg1o— Paul Putner (@RealPaulPutner) November 12, 2024

Does anyone have contacts at the BBC to get this sorted?
