The BBC should consider Piers Morgan or ex-Sky Sports presenter Jim White to replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day host, Simon Jordan says.
Piers Morgan – the new face of Match of the Day? The BBC should consider hiring Piers Morgan or ex-Sky Sport s presenter Jim White to replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day host. That is the opinion of former Crystal Palace owner turned talk SPORT presenter Simon Jordan, who wants the next host to be picked ‘on merit rather than making diversity and inclusion the primary criteria’.
Jim White was the face of Sky Sports for over 20 years ‘It depends what the BBC want the show to be. If they want it to have continued gravitas and a professional in charge who can manage the opinions of others rather than shrieking their own, Jim White is ideal,’ Jordan added. ‘For those who shout nepotism, I couldn’t care less. He’s very, very good at what he does and while not in the first flush of youth he conveys more energy and dynamism than broadcasters half his age.
