As soon as (freelance) talent started to boycott shifts on BBC Sport shows, it appears Davie went on damage limitation from Washington and flew back to London overnight on Sat/Sun.
I'd estimate Davie and BBC suits were negotiating with Lineker and his agent on Sunday and first thing today to finalise that they'd be no punishment for Lineker while saving their own skins. The review of social media accounts for non-news staff will be kicked down the road and all goes back to normal for Lineker and other freelance contractors to BBC Sport.
