• Fresh blow after BBC’s Tim Davie also turns down the role
• Dawn Airey a potential candidate in drawn-out process
The Premier League are braced for their hunt to find a new chief executive to take until the end of the year after being rebuffed by a second candidate to fill the vacancy left by Richard Scudamore.
Tim Davie, the chief executive of BBC Studios, turned down the Premier League’s advances on Wednesday, forcing the governing body to turn once again to their shortlist of candidates after first choice, Susanna Dinnage, also pulled out of replacing Scudamore at the end of last year just weeks before she was meant to start the job.
