With mass redundancies looming, the pressure on director-general Mark Thompson is intense, but senior colleagues say the structure of the corporation has never been less able to support its leader.与大规模裁员迫在眉睫，面临的压力就总干事马克汤普森是激烈，但资深的同事说的结构，该公司从未一直不太能支持自己的领导者。

“No sitting director-general of the BBC has been sacked by the chairman who appointed him,” said one of Mr Thompson’s closest allies. "不坐在总干事的英国广播公司已被解职，由主席任命他说： "其中一个詹康信的最亲密的盟友。 “But Michael Grade has gone, and Mark is worried that he might not be in the post this time next year. "但迈克尔年级去了，和马克是担心他可能无法在后，明年这个时候。 Sir Michael Lyons intervenes constantly and intensely.索马雷里昂介入不断，紧锣密鼓。 It is very different from the days of the old board of governors.”这是很不同的日子旧董事会省长" 。

Sir Michael, the one-time Bennite Labour councillor and former chief executive of Birmingham City Council, accepted the chairmanship of the trust in April.索马雷，一时间bennite劳工会议员及前行政长官的伯明翰市议会，接受了主持的信任，在四月。 BBC managers describe trustees’ behaviour in recent months as arrogant.

“The BBC is going through some of the biggest challenges it has ever faced,” said John Whittingdale, chairman of the House of Commons Media Select Committee. "英国广播公司正在经历一些最大的挑战，它都面临着说： "约翰whittingdale ，内务委员会主席的商品，媒体专责委员会。 “You have the crisis of trust over issues such as the Queen documentary and Blue Peter and at the same time Mr Thompson is setting out his strategic plan. "你有没有信任危机等问题上女皇的纪录片和蓝彼得与在同一时间，詹康信是阐明了他的战略计划。 It is inevitable that the BBC Trust will take an active interest, but it should not intervene before management decisions are made.”这是无可避免的英国广播公司的信任，将采取积极的兴趣，但它不应该介入管理之前就决定了" 。

Observers were surprised by the “salami-slicing” strategy Mr Thompson calls “Delivering Creative Future”.观察家感到惊讶， "香肠切片"战略，詹康信呼吁"提供创意未来"的报告。 The joke inside the BBC is that it is not creative and there is no future.笑话内BBC的是，这是不是创意，有没有前途。 But such humour disguises concern that the DG’s freedom has been curtailed.但这种幽默感伪装关注危险品的自由已被剥夺。 His supporters blame the trust for insisting that the BBC must continue making programmes for every taste despite a huge funding shortfall.他的支持者指责信托坚持要求英国广播公司必须继续作出方案，为每一个口味存在着巨大的资金缺口。

“It is an unsustainable position in the digital era,” said a top BBC journalist. "这是一个不可持续的地位，在数码时代，我们说： "高层的BBC记者。 “If there is no market segment from which the BBC can legitimately withdraw, then we are condemned to spread resources too thinly.

Adrian Sanders MP, Liberal Democrat member of the select committee, agreed that something appeared to have diluted Mr Thompson’s radical instincts.阿德里安桑德斯国会议员，自由民主党的专责委员会的成员一致认为，东西似乎已经稀释詹康信激进的直觉。 “Members of the committee from all parties were very surprised that the BBC did not come up with a proposal to dispose of some channels. "委员会的成员来自各方都非常感到惊讶的是，英国广播公司并没有拿出一个建议，以处理一些渠道。 There was a real expectation that it would.”有一个真正的期望，认为它将" 。

Mr Thompson had encouraged that expectation.詹康信中鼓励人们的预期。 In March he said that the BBC would “stop doing certain things” and emphatically rejected salami-slicing departmental budgets.在3月他说，英国广播公司将"不要再做一些事情" ，并强调拒绝香肠切片部门预算。 Why did he retreat?他为什么要撤退？ Insiders blame the trust, which, they say, is intensely conservative and determined to preserve all the corporation’s services, no matter how limited its budget.业内人士责怪信任，其中，他们说，是浓厚的保守和决心维护该公司的服务，不论多么有限，其预算。
