I've heard the 5 shortlisted candidates were Herdman, Bazeley, Talay, Buckingham and Paul Nevin - process of elimination would suggest the answer but I have no idea how reliable my maths (or rumour source) is.
Well the maths ain’t hard.
Paul Nevin on face value has an excellent resume. I hope like hell now it’s him, and this mess is soon over. Again only face value but I can see why he would be called a Standout candidate
