According to British media reports, the podcast co-hosted by England legend Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer has seen a surge in clicks since the start of the Euro Cup, particularly content criticizing the England team, which has significantly boosted their income, generating £125,000 just from Euro Cup content.
Joining Lineker and Shearer is Micah Richards, who analyzes the Euro Cup matches. Following England’s 1-1 draw against Denmark in the group stage, Lineker and Shearer unleashed a torrent of criticism on Harry Kane, the England team, and Gareth Southgate on their podcast, igniting a media storm.
However, the podcast’s surge in traffic has also brought Southgate a handsome fortune. Statistics show that since the start of the Euro Cup, Lineker’s podcast has earned £125,000. Lineker’s podcast earns £45 per 1000 clicks, and if the sponsor has a connection with Lineker, 1000 clicks generate £15.
The significant increase in views, listens, and downloads has resulted in a substantial increase in Lineker’s income. However, England players are not pleased, particularly Kane, who has been caught in the whirlwind of criticism, and he directly retorted to Lineker.
Despite England’s shaky performance in the group stage, they will face Slovakia in the round of 16. If they advance, the public criticism of England may subside.
