It needs resolving urgently, hopefully there are discussions taking place this weekend and not waiting until Monday.
A stand off benefits nobody, especially now as all of the talent are controlling the ability of the BBC to deliver output for the viewers.

Ironically Dion Dublin will probably still appear today, as the BBC will have to dust off an episode of Homes under the Hammer
And Bargain Hunt, and Garden Rescue no doubt

Coast was always a good filler programme. Maybe they’ll put that on. Nice and gentle with an uncontroversial presenter.
Oh.

The BBC, and more specifically Tim Davie, needs to very quickly think long and hard about its policies and guidelines. It's going to have to stand down from its hardline but inconsistent stance - and fast. Humiliating but is the only feasible way out - though undeniable that potentially irreparable damage has been done here.
If it doesn't then the current mutiny may well spread even further than it has done already, beyond BBC Sport. And if that happens then the position of many of the head honchos of the BBC including the DG will become completely untenable. Though of course the government won't be forcing them out will they.

I think his position is now untenable! I can't see how he will survive this?

I wonder what Barbara Slater, Head of BBC Sport, thinks about all of this?

I think the DG can bunker down until the point where big talent start attaching his name personally to this failure and directly call into question his own (already questionable) impartiality. At that point, it's sandwiches and roadmap time.
He's got 48-72 hours to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Don’t forget that the BBC News loves talking about the BBC and (as others have already pointed out) that hasn’t helped this story. Otherwise it could have just died down and disappeared.
Now it is a full-blown BBC crisis, to go alongside the Blue Peter cat, Ross-Brand and Clarkson’s punch. And it’s all their own doing this time.
