Benjamin Windibank presents a look at the runners and riders who might be in with a shot at taking on the role of the EBU's new "ESC Director", the position replacing the old "Executive Supervisor", which in effect, has now been abolished. All of this follows a report that the EBU commissioned into the controversial events which took place at Eurovision 2024.

Ironic.
