But putting that to one side for a moment to examine the point made by anonymous above.<br /><br />If they are being paid the market rate then we can run a simple experiment: Announce all salaries to be cut by 50% active immediately.<br /><br />If their current salaries are the market rate the 'talent' will leave the BBC and be offered jobs elsewhere. The BBC can then give someone cheaper a chance. If no-one hires the 'talent' then we know they were lying and have saved 50% of talent wages.<br /><br />We then repeat the process until we find the market floor.Professor Pizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269179670375862243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-39321579095627455152017-07-20T10:21:36.559+01:002017-07-20T10:21:36.559+01:00In defence of Alan - not something I willingly do,...In defence of Alan - not something I willingly do, but for the sake of balance.<br />He comes from the highest paid sector of all. Footballer salaries is a descriptive term for obscene salaries. And he is an actual footballer. A good one too.<br />Unlike, say, that Al Pacino ability actor Adam Woodyatt, Eastender's Ian Beale, getting by on only half Alan's wedge, Alan could have got that sort of money in his field. <br />Sponsorship. Coaching. A bit of management. Chinese soccer punditry.<br /><br />If Sky ever wanted Julia Roberts to replace Kay Burley, Kay's massive, year on year 10% wage increase plus loyalty bonus current wedge would not be enough to tempt Julia from her Jacuzzi spa.<br /><br />The annoyance is not really how much Shearer is paid. Its how much he gets for not being very good.<br /><br />What Patrick Flynn tweeted about Gary Linekar yesterday could apply doubly-bigly to Alan Shearer.<br /><br /><b> Gary Linekar is not presenting match of the day tonight.

If BBC told Humphrys he was getting £300k not £600k, he might at his age decide to retire, but where else would he go? <br /><br />The Today programme is an effective monopoly. Who would offer him £500,000 to front a radio news show - Talk Radio?<br /><br />I was distressed to see Nicholas Parsons didn't make the cut. <br /><br />Re Shearer/Lineker, remember when the BBC had sports commentators/presenters who came up through the ranks, rather than hiring millionaires and giving them more money?
