Gary Lineker wades into BBC chairman row: ‘Not now, not ever’

The Match of the Day host was embroiled in his own row with the broadcaster just weeks ago

Gary Lineker has waded into the row over the appointment of BBC chair Richard Sharp just weeks after he was suspended by the broadcaster for speaking out against the government.

Richard Sharp resigned on Friday after a report found he breached the public appointments code when he failed to declare two conflicts of interest during his appointment.

It comes after the Tory donor helped arrange a meeting for Boris Johnson to meet with someone who could give him a £800,000 personal loan.
