Paul Dacre, is of course, a young man. And everybody loves the Daily Mail. But those who want to place their bets on who will succeed him might want to put their fivers on Geordie Greig, the new Mail on Sunday editor. After all the appointment to the top job at the Sunday is made by Lord Rothermere – in consultation, of course, with Dacre – and it is the company chairman that, alone, decides who will be the editor of the Daily. There are other candidates – Jon Steafel, the long serving deputy at the Daily, Tony Gallagher, the former news desk supremo who now edits the Telegraph, and Martin Clarke, the man behind the bikini-strewn website. But with Claudia, Lady Rothermere, also a fan of the Standard – and Greig being the man who persuaded the Viscount to sell the evening title to Alexander Lebedev – the old Etonian looks well placed. But he'll after get rid of those Gilbert & George pictures first … not very Mail on Sunday are they …?
