GaryLineker Thumb up to youGary

GaryLineker I’m confused to why people are saying they should take a pay cut. where would the money go?

GaryLineker Get bent Gary. As if anyone is going to give a shit about people making a quarter mil a week to play a fucking kids game. People are trying to raise families and have lost their income during a global pandemic, so forgive us for having no sympathy for you and your precious money.

GaryLineker Lefties shout tax the rich (isn’t Gary a leftie?) which I am against as they contribute more than enough...however in this national crisis and when a club (such as NUFC) have to furlough, then the players should take temp cut to prevent it coming out of taxpapers pocket....

GaryLineker Can anyone shut this cretin up.......

GaryLineker Being an ex player he would defend them especially as it's one of his ex clubs at the centre of this lineker is a hypocrite

GaryLineker Mmm.. 😳

GaryLineker Lineker’s attitude is plainly obvious... What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is my own ... Twat ....

GaryLineker Footballers have had a month to take a pay cut?

GaryLineker Pay your taxes Gary

GaryLineker he should B kicked off BBC 4 a start . or take a %90 pay cut

GaryLineker Totally agree.

GaryLineker Looking after his mates.

I don’t consider 25% a big cut to these players at all! They are not working right now and it’s the fans hard earned money that puts them in their place of privilege in first place!
