losesome Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Ironic, as well as PL clubs splashing money like confetti , Macclesfield and surrounding areas like Wilmslow and Prestbury probably have more millionaires than anywhere else in the UK!!!! Yet the football club goes bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Kowenickis post, but assumed that was from a local BBC page or the lower league page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't pay it now, they aren't going to be able to pay in a months time. It's £1.75m. for Lineker and £490,000 for Shearer, plus all the other ridiculous salaries. They have plenty of sports presenters who can do Lineker's job for much less. Why they they think he's so great I don't know. He earns more from outside the BBC. Hasn't Lineker accepted a pay cut from £1.75m? Or is £1.75m his new wedge after the cut? I stand corrected on Shearer. What a waste of money the pair of them are.

It’s obscene isn’t it - Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer get paid those vast amounts for literally sitting and talking about their greatest passion. Vast amounts for doing what each and every fan does up and down the country in the boozer - a lot of it after slogging away for 40 plus hours a week for a pittance that just about pays the bills and leaves them a bit for the pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those channels had anything on Maccs demise either more interested in regurgitating the same old drivel. I also quite like the BBC mainly for the type of people that they upset.

I like the BBC too, I think it does a great job of offering a lot of different entertainment genres on the various platforms. It does seem to piss off a certain group of folk, and I have no idea why - however that's not why I like it. On Sky, they've just got rid of Charlie Nicholas - thought that was a move long overdue, the others were okay though - Phil Thompson was probably one of the best in my opinion. They've got a great new team on there now, and it's probably reinforced Sky Soccer Saturday's hold on the Saturday afternoon teleprinter crown. Elsewhere I could listen to Micah Richdards and Roy Keane go back and forth all day long, great duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes I quite like the Banter between Keane and Richards. Elsewhere alot of pundits seem fairly generic as are alot of the discussions and few if any know about the world outside the premier league. I doubt any of them will discuss anything that has gone on at Macclesfield. Recently I watched a few old episodes of Saint and Greavsie on youtube both seemed to understand the game and have a proper knowledge of what was going on outside the top flight doused with a good layer of banter and not taking the whole thing too seriously. Maybe it was me being nostalgic but it just seemed refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This week the FSA published two articles on the Sustain the Game! campaign. As you all know your Trust firmly supports this initiative. One Article is on the sad demise on Macclesfield, the second is how you as an individual fan, can help to make a difference https://trustoldham.co.uk/2020/09/18/this-weeks-fsa-articles-on-sustain-the-game-campaign/ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, no mate, I get really angry about what the Chuckle Brothers and Inspector Knacker are doing to our club. Lineker and Shearer on the other hand just irritate me intensely. As does the BBC's relatively low level of coverage of lower league football. If you take away their annual patronising look at FA Cup "minnows", they don't really seem to give the lower leagues that much air time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who Gary Linekar is. As for Gary Lineker, he was a great player but in my humble view is spectacularly mediocre as a football presenter/pundit and is ridiculously overpaid by the BBC, even after his pay cut. I was struggling to understand the link between a view of Lineker and the BBC's football coverage on the one hand and reading habits and voting preference in a four year old referendum on the other, but your sweeping generalisation above means I don't need to worry.

Well you have managed to turn the demise of Macclesfield Town into finding a way to blame it all on the BBC and Gary Linekerp's salary which is very much the type of thing people like that do. The other people who can't stand the BBC are people who think Jeremy Corbyn was somekind of saint. Another reason to like the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the BBC are getting up the noses of the left and right, it doesn't necessarily mean that the BBC is correct. The BBC has an existential problem in this era for sure, personally I think they should remove their rolling news coverage - to be fair, all rolling news is bad - but the BBC shouldn't play ball.
