The "shoo-in" has dropped out. Lord Coe broke his decision not to proceed to interview for the job of BBC Trust Chairman to the Mail's sports diarist Charlie Sale, saying ‘I did allow my name to go forward to give myself time to properly analyse whether I had enough time to do the job to the best of my abilities.
‘On reflection, I haven’t the capacity and I now want to concentrate on my current commitments and the IAAF election. As everyone knows, athletics is in my DNA.’
The news comes a day after The Times (paywall) suggested that, if appointed, Coe's commitments would be questioned pretty firmly by the usually-angry-about-something MPs of the Culture and Media Select Committee.
