The number one item for the inbox of the new BBC Sport supremo: How to deal with a problem like Gary Lineker

The other problem: others simply do live sport better - what can Alex Kay-Jelski do about that, if anything? New head of BBC Sport, Alex Kay-Jelski, must decide what to do with Gary Lineker and Match of the Day Kay-Jelski arrives at the Beeb as the former sports lead at the Daily Mail and The Times He was also head of the sports subscription service, The Athletic, and now takes control of a show still raking in 4million viewers every show Your browser does not support iframes. The show currently portrays a charming, matey style, with pundits such as Alan Shearer and Ian Wright working on it Lineker has followed Frank Bough, David Coleman, Jimmy Hill, Bob Wilson and Des Lynam in sitting in the presenter's chair Match of the Day is a rare and proper gem in the BBC sports tiara, not least because the national broadcaster doesn't have much in the way of real live sport any more. Don't forget it was only just over a year ago that the BBC was in the midst of one of its biggest crisis, when Lineker was suspended for criticising the Government's asylum policy, leading to a wildcat strike in solidarity with him, and an episode of Match of the Day going to air without ANY presenter. Lineker's podcast leviathan, Goalhanger productions, is sweeping everything before it When he leaves, it will mark the end of another era for Match of the Day, and that may be soon As a former top sportsman, one of the very best, he knows that it makes sense to get out at the top, like Roger Federer or Stuart Broad.
