West Midlands Police have admitted “mistakes were made” over the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a match against Aston Villa but have failed to address the future of their chief constable facing calls to resign.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told MPs on Wednesday she had lost confidence in Chief Constable Craig Guildford after a “damning” review from the policing watchdog over the decision to bar the Israeli football team from attending Villa Park in November.
Ms Mahmood had said the report by Chief Inspector of Constabulary Sir Andy Cooke showed “confirmation bias” and a “failure of leadership” in West Midlands Police.
Ms Mahmood added: “The ultimate responsibility for the force’s failure to discharge its duties on a matter of such national importance rests with the chief constable, and it is for that reason that I must declare today that the chief constable of West Midlands Police no longer has my confidence.”
Mr Guildford has faced mounting pressure and calls to resign amid increasing scrutiny over the ban.
