snige we can dissect and analyse elements of the Company's Business until the cows come home. IMO Carillion had grown through acquisitions for years and the way each Take-over was reportedly amalgamated into the Group, concealed a build-up of debt which would eventually strangle the Company. Many should review the persistent attempts to take over Balfour, who finally resisted Carillion's overtures when it became part of a deal that BB would have to abort a deal to sell N.American interests for circa �500million. Those funds enabled BB to rejuvenate...look where there are now.
IMO there were one or two Executives who had delusions of Grandeur believing Carillion could be the Biggest Construction Group around, unfortuneately it was being done in a dishonest way, Shareholders were not being told the truth, even since July they have been treated like mushrooms.
It is and has been a very hard lesson for some to learn.
