What next for Match of the Day? How axing Gary Lineker paves way for new BBC Sport supremo Alex Kay-Jelski to cuts costs and overhaul show for 'younger audience' as Alex Scott and Gabby Logan lead rac

Daily Mail  

Gary Lineker's axing from Match of the Day follows claims the boss of BBC Sport is seeking to 'freshen up' the show to appeal to a younger audience - as Gabby Logan and Alex Scott lead a female-dominated list of rivals vying to replace him. Kay-Jelski was also said to be frustrated by Lineker's outspoken political views and foul language used on his The Rest Is Football podcast, which sources said he believed reflected negatively on Match of the Day. Former Lioness defender Alex Scott is among those who have been tipped to take over from Lineker Match of the Day 2 host Mark Chapman is the front-runner to become next MOTD host, according to Ladbrokes 'His brutal axing of Jenas shows he's not afraid to make big decisions and he has no qualms about potentially upsetting Lineker. Former Director General Greg Dyke said today that Lineker's penchant for giving personal views will have been 'in the mind' of the BBC when they decided to go for a new host.
