I maybe wrong here but you will probably find his agent asked for that. I doubt he is aware, he will let his agent deal with all bookings, charges etc.

Surely you do not believe that the client (in this case Lineker) is unaware of the appearance fees that his agent would be requesting on his behalf.
Agents do not operate in a vacuum and clients will be well aware of their "value".

And full of BS
I get that Lineker will know what he is charged out at but he wont know who approaches his agent. That is why the agent is there. Now I would accept totally that there should be an agreement between agent and client over charges including no charge for charity events.
Clearly the other option is that I am hopelessly naive and he is a dick 😁

No charge for charity events? So if 365 charities invite him in a year, he should go and do them all for free?
No, but maybe he should tell his agent to inform him of all charities that get in contact and he can deal with ones close to his heart?
As Papas said. Clearly celebs can't do every event but a polite no would be better than an excessive fee quote. It is about a balance. If you want someone to open a supermarket you pay them for it. To help promote a charity, no fee, expenses only at most. These people have done well enough out of life to be able to afford that. I'd still like to think that he was unaware of the request and fee quoted.

Sadly with most of the bigger charities these days its business first charity second...
Where do you see it written that there should be no charge for charity events?
Oops i forgot, this is a forum where you read something, ignore it and then reply to your own version
He wanted 50k to hit 1 ball for a kids blind charity
at a golf club that he plays at regularly and is local to him (50K) think about that
as i say, dick
