Caplen : Ideal time for new Jenkins ' chief executive to take over would be the first six months to a year .

On that basis , the ideal time for Jenkins to take over would have been in six months to a year from now when the investigations are completed -- and always assuming that nothing else comes out of the woodwork at crisis-prone Barclays along the way . The selection of Barclays is quite a clever choice -- he is from the consumer side of the bank and produces results . But Jenkins may have to accept that he spends six months to a year from now in his new job fighting fires .
