. . . and UK boss could be fired within weeks

PAUL Pester is likely to face calls to go from TSB’s parent company Sabadell once a report into his handling of the IT meltdown is published.

MPs on the Treasury Select Committee have already called for Pester ( pictured to go.

Sabadell bosses have remained tight lipped and the TSB board has given the 54-year-old chief executive its backing – so far.

But the report by law firm Slaughter and May into what went wrong could spell the end for Pester.

It is understood Sabadell bosses in Spain will move against Pester if the report blames him for the debacle.

Appearing before the Treasury Select Committee last week, he appeared to concede his days may be numbered.

Asked if he planned to resign, the banker said: ‘When we get to the end of this situation with the independent report, then of course we will take whatever action is necessary.’
