Those anxious that Lord Coe seems to be a cert for the BBC Chairmanship will be pleased to see opponents on the right and left popping up.
The Telegraph's Peter Oborne
blames the whole idea on George Osborne, says that Coe "lacks genuine intellect", and "his appointment would be a disaster".
Meanwhile, at the Observer, Catherine Bennett
judges Coe's credentials through a reading of his 2009 book,
The Winning Mind: What it takes to become a true champion. Her verdict - hopefully not shared over the breakfast table with partner John Humphrys - "motivational codswallop". Witheringly, she concludes that Coe succeeding Pateen would mean a chair "who only differs
significantly from the last Tory peer in being thinner, faster, and with yet more compromising connections to the Tory elite."
