That's a shame. Think I'm in the minority based on comments I see on here but I think he's a perfect fit for the programme. 

[StanSP]

Also think BBC will be loving it based on what he's earning...

 

Alex Scott probably licking her lips at the opportunity...

Nooooooooo its going to be Jermaine BBC Jenas taking over isnt it

Unlikely. 

[Corky]

And to think his final match will be our 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth as we confirm 19th place.

Frees up Gary to finally manage us

Completely forgot about his misdavenours

[rugbyblue]

His dad had a stall on Leicester Market you know 

[coolhandfox]

At 63 I don't blame him, he has plenty in the bank, go and enjoy it.

 

Nothing is more important than time.

[BKLFox]

Would assume Shearer will give it up to concentrate on the podcast also, not sure about Meeks.

[David Hankey]

Well, all "good" things come to an end sooner or later.

 

I, for one, won't miss him.

[Silebyfox_89]

Gotta give it to Chappers haven't they?

Should go all out to get Jeff Stelling to replace him.

He’s the man for it…

[Gamble92]

Quite sad how many of our fans now turn on him because of his political views.

 

Let's face it he proved everyone wrong and then some with his presenting career. 

 

Quite easily the best football presenter there is and will very likely only be properly appreciated when he's gone. 

[Scotch]

It's going to be Alex Scott. Fills quotas (gay, woman of colour) whilst I also think she's good at what she does and has good knowledge of the game.

Match of the day won’t be the same. Time to take it off air and come up with a new programme

I hope not 

[Leicesterpool]

Been forced out, I think Gary has just had enough of the speculation. But huge chance for Sky Sports to get a decent presenter in, to present their main games.

It's been going on well before Sir Linekar and will prosper after him.

 

Get Chappers in, he will be an upgrade on our Gary in a couple of years.

Alex Scott will kill it, really poor host. Gabby Logan far more experienced, Mark Chapman I would say more the suitable choice. Going to miss Gary's coverage at major tournaments.

? 

 

One of our biggest advocates in the media? 

 

Also actually a really good presenter? 

 

So why the negativity?

Got too big for his boots. Instead of doing the job he was highly paid to do he became too outspoken and controversial.

 

Something you don't want from a presenter.

Really is a shame how unloved one of our own is by plenty of our fanbase.
