Davey will go. Think he's the only one that can't see it at this point. 

If he sacks Lineker, the contagion would be unstoppable and hugely damaging.  

If he doesn't and backs down... His authority will be shot to pieces. Every tweet storm thereafter will link back to here. 

If he keeps his head down, his credibility just kinda whimpers out. 

His only hope would be that Lineker quits before Davey is told his position is untenable... And I doubt that would happen, because Lineker currently looks like he's enjoying watching the DG's implosion.

Yes, I'm rather reminded of a certain very short lived Prime Minster

Wednesday: I'm won't resign.
Thursday: I'm resigning

Davie is Toast! There can be no way back for him now. 

Turness will be the first female BBC DG, and will be out the door quicker than Davie.
