It's probably fair to describe John Varley as a long shot. Having headed up that naughty Libor-manipulating bank Barclays won't do him any favours. Nor will reports that he is involved in a regulatory inquiry into unorthodox payments to Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.

Please - Not Lord Turner!
He was in charge of the FSA when the Banks went Bust and responsible for their conduct, regulation etc. Why was he not sacked for not doing his job? Why did he not see what the banks were doing ie PPI miss selling, LIBOR fixing etc?
"he did gain political capital by criticising certain actions of the big banks". - AFTER THE EVENT - when they were found out!!
How can this man even be a candidate? He should be fined and barred from ever holding a job in finance.

Why replace Mervyn King ?? Get rid of the post and at least save the bank his £300k salary, He has not preformed very well over the past 10 years...........
The bid for the post will be "Fair and open " Yeh right, Bob Diamond, and Fred Goodwin are looking for another bank to screw up..........Give them the Job..............

Don't they have anyone capable in the Bank of England at the moment as the way i see it outsider would have to be trained to do the job and of course have to get new strings fitted so that the puppeteers in the government can pull his strings like the have been doing with Mervyn for the past few years
