Tim Davie is still so unapologetic over this that he really has to go. How he can still insist he acted properly is beyond me.

It's pretty desperate stuff.

"I was entirely right to act, which is why it is now the right course of action for me to reverse my earlier decision."

Let's see how long that holds.

Such a familar line. We've seen it'll hold for a while but ultimately all comes crashing down, and in the mean time more damage is done by somebody clinging on to their job rather than doing the honourable thing.

I think Davie is safe for now. I don't think this is a resigning matter. But I think he may have to go soon if he's criticised in the Tim westwood review which must be due out soon it was commissioned in August and was meant to last 6 months

In which case it would probably be better for his personal reputation to go now - far better to quit over this than be forced out over what is a far more serious issue. Though given how things have gone previously the replacement DG would then likely be forced to resign over Tim Westwood.
