GARY LINEKER could soon be pulling pints after the BBC pulled him from Match of the Day.
The popular presenter was suspended from presenting the Beeb’s flagship Premier League highlights show amid an ongoing dispute with the BBC over his tweets.

Fortunately, infamous club mogul brother Wayne was quick to offer him a new gig.
Lineker has received an outpouring of support since and it appears he could be set for multiple job offers too.
But if all else fails, then his party-loving Wayne has offered him a job at his Ibiza beach club.
Ocean Beach club is a favourite summer haunt for Premier League stars, with Jack Grealish among those who have let their hair down at Wayne’s legendary parties.
Wayne shared a mocked up viral snap of Gary pouring him a drink at one of his bars.
And he joked: “I knew one day he would come to ocean.”
Wayne added his support for his sibling – while hinting he might like to fill the Match of the Day chair instead.
He added: “I feel obliged to just say that I’m in full support of Gary. Also I look forward to standing in for him tonight on Match of the day.”
Gary has already been offered a more conventional new role by BT Sport as part of their planned summer revamp to become TNT Sports.
They want the ex-England star, 62, to be the face of their new venture, which includes Premier League and Champions League coverage.

Lineker previously worked for BT Sport between 2015-2021 and has presented Match of the Day since 1999.
He decided to step down to watch his beloved Leicester on their European journey in the Europa Conference League last season, with Brendan Rodgers’ side reaching the semi-final.
And Lineker was at the King Power Stadium today to watch the Foxes in action against Chelsea after becoming expectedly free.
It comes as the veteran broadcaster sparked a free speech row when he compared the Government’s plans to ban migrants arriving on small boats from settling in Britain with “1930’s Germany”.
The BBC said Lineker’s criticism of the Government’s Illegal Migration Bill on Twitter was a “breach of our guidelines”.
The pundit was then forced to step back from presenting duties on the flagship football show – that he’s presented since 1999 – until a “clear position” on his social media use is agreed.
But his suspension sparked chaos as scores of Match of the Day co-hosts refused to appear in solidarity with the veteran presenter.
Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, Jermaine Jenas, Alex Scott, Mark Chapman and Micah Richards all refused to fill in amid the chaos.
The show’s commentary team are also standing down – meaning the show will go without presenters, pundits or commentators.
It means the show will be highlights only and will last just 20 minutes, reports the Daily Mail.
Football Focus, Final Score and BBC Radio Five Live shows were also taken off the schedule after contributors refused to take part.
The Sun revealed this morning that Alex Scott chose to not host Football Focus following the suspension storm.
