Not sure I would know one if I saw one! Let's see how Mr Farrow does first eh. If he's doing well and wants the job, go with it for me!

'It is essential now that we see an impressive industry insider appointed as CEO'

for me if they turn this around, ( mainly sentiment) then I will not be in such a rush to sell the business. If the regular dividends are forthcoming then the sp will be doing ok too!

yes, and let's all keep kicking it down then it will be an even better buying opportunity eh!!

I'm sure after working with SJ at ICM he will know how to run a tight ship. More 'fat' cost cutting on the way hopefully! Can only see this a big big positive going forward.

hopefully SJ can give us an insight to his old mucker and what we can expect from him. Honesty would be a good start! Maybe it might persuade SJ to buy in again as he has mentioned.

wonder what his thoughts will be? Must be pleased to see his ex mucker getting the gig albeit short term. Never know, if he does a decent job he will get it full time, if he wants it of course. Might even persuade SJ to buy in again as he said he would with the right management in place.

can you really see them still being employed now in any capacity?? Great result for me!!

just wondering if there was any bonus or other incentives that would be triggered on DUMS totals?

best case for me would be for them to be thrown out but on a very minor misdemeanour that doesn't affect the sp too much.

as SJ said, 5-8 people to run this outfit. Jeeez, there is so much fat to cut out of this company. All these extra bods are top earners too no doubt.

YHAL. I think it might be to flatter the numbers more than anything else. It seems Toby was heavily involved in all the China deals, hmmm!

As SJ says, cleanse and weed out is the order of the day. As mentioned it could have a 'silver lining' yet!

The company won't just simply fold though will it?

Dr, methinks you are going over the top somewhat! On what metric will shareholders lose everything, unless there is nowt in the bank and all the dums are a figment of the imagination including the ICM portfolio!?

I'll certainly second that motion Norrab!

there might just be 'silver lining' out of all this. Could well turn out to be the best bit of news for investors in a long while..perversely !!

Scotty, tend to agree, but a divi would also go down well with many PI's. It also looks good to see a company throw back cash instead of buybacks. People want cash at the end of the day not always bothering if it's tax efficient etc. It attracts investors too of course!

5-8 people to run it, so what have they got now, about 18/19 is it..?

I think SJ answered your question before you asked it. lol Clean up the company and it will sell..simple!!

okay SJ, but there is still some decent value in the whole Ablock scheme going forward?
