Hopefully, we’ll see some Lineker polling this weekend

How is his action going to be viewed?

The one thing that is missing so far from the Lineker story is some polling to ascertain how the public is viewing his stance and whether he has the backing that I think he thought he had.

Hopefully one or two of the Sunday papers will have commissioned some polling and we should get some information overnight.

I like football and I’ve always been impressed by the relaxed and accommodating way that Lineker has operated. He’s got authority because of his achievements as a player and he has the personality to be very good on television

But his latest move is testing that and I find it hard to come to a conclusion about whether this was a good thing to do or whether it was not.

Whatever the government’s illegal approach is highly controversial.
