Simon Jordan 'admires' Gary Lineker but takes aim at Ian Wright after Match of the Day boycott
is of the opinion that the BBC had no option in their choice, but praised Lineker for showing courage in not backing down over his views.
“So here we are, Lineker has said what he meant, he meant what he says, so by definition he’s prepared to fall on his sword.”Pressed on whether there is any pressure from Lineker’s BBC colleagues to show their support to Lineker, Jordan remarked: “None whatsoever, if they subscribe to the same view as Gary Lineker, then they are entitled to have their view on it.
“Most of the people in and around this industry have that sort of courage and conviction so I imagine he will realign himself with the guidelines that the BBC put in place. Asked whether he agrees with Lineker’s views as well as the BBC’s decision, Jordan stated: “Yes I do. It’s his view, he is entitled to his view, no one has the right not to be offended, he has a view.“If that’s his view, I don’t particularly concur with it, I don’t think it’s particularly constructive, we are also talking about a BBC that speaks of hypocrisy.
