Call this talent?

IT’S not Gary Lineker’s £1.75 million Match Of The Day salary that is painful for viewers, it’s his belief that we need all his old pals as pundits who are also paid a fortune to be wise after the event.

ROY RACE, Quorn, Leics. IF THE BBC feels it must pay exorbitant salaries to entice ‘talent’ to work for it, then why do so many people like me prefer not to watch its boring channels?

IAN BARRATT, Maldon, Essex. ROW over gender bias at the BBC? Reduce the men’s salaries to equal the women’s. Problem solved.

JACK CARTER, Alphington, Exeter.
