Tim's time ?

Sky News says the BBC's Tim Davie is on a three-person shortlist to become the next boss of the Premier League.

He could expect to earn five or six times his current package if successful. Not much comes up when you search for Tim and 'football' - he's more often been seen in shorts at marathons, triathlons and Ironman events.  He was President of the JCR at Selwyn, Cambridge; he worked on male toiletries at Procter & Gamble; and oversaw the European launch of Pepsi Blue. At the BBC, he's been in charge of Radio, and acting DG before the move to Worldwide, now re-imagined as BBC Studios.

Some uncomfortable things on the CV: offering to close 6Music, backing Chris Evans to save Top Gear, shifting between the Global iPlayer, the BBC Store and boxes (either agile or non-strategic - take your pick). Excellent on diversity, outreach stuff and backing smaller digital ideas.
