Rogers prepares Brum exit

摘要

Heather Jameson; Birmingham City Council leader John Clancy had a 'gun to his head' before deciding to oust chief executive Mark Rogers, a source claimed. The Birmingham Independent Improvement Panel (BIIP) is believed to have offered Cllr Clancy the choice of getting rid of Mr Rogers or the council being put in full government intervention. News of Mr Rogers' departure was leaked on Saturday night, forcing a rushed statement by the council about his departure on Sunday. However, Mr Rogers is still officially chief executive of Birmingham while an exit deal is negotiated.
