  The Nine network's Director of News and Current Affairs has resigned from the network. Garry Linnell said in a statement released by the Nine Network that wouldn't be able to achieve what he set out to do when he first joined the network.
  
  "It has become clear to me in recent weeks that I do not have the full support of the company,"
  
  "This has placed me in an untenable position.
  
  "The news and current affairs culture at Nine is the strongest and most committed in the country, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to work alongside the best in the business."
  
  The resignation follows rumours that Network Seven's Sunrise executive producer Adam Boland was approached for Linnell's position; rumours that had been denied by the network.
  
  Nine executive director Jeffrey Browne said that Linnell will leave the network with a high reputation in the industry, and that he "wished him well for the future".
  
  A announcement for the replacement of Linnell is expected to happen within the next week.
