Gary Lineker's vicious dig at his BBC boss while apologising for antisemitism was the 'final straw' for the corporation with the star expected to resign in shame today.
The 64-year-old said that Alex Kay-Jelski had 'no television experience' and suggested his plans to revamp Match of the Day without him would fail.
A BBC source has claimed that the criticism of Mr Kay-Jelski may have been the 'final straw' for the corporation who had 'indulged him [Lineker] bending its rules to breaking point'.
Lineker made the comments about his boss in an interview where he apologised for sharing a pro-Palestine video featuring an anti-Jewish rat slur.
'I think (a regime change) has (happened), and that's what I was alluding to (in an earlier interview),' Lineker told Telegraph Sport.
