Lets think about this - stated today "additional financing would be needed if customer complaints were higher than expected for a prolonged period"
When you then think also about JB's blog he wrote "they should have informed shareholders that they had now taken this position, made a provision for well over £1bn of redress...FCA guidance is very clear that, where systemic problems are recognised, customers who have not complained should be treated in the same way as customers who have complained..
...This infers to me that there is a good chance we will go under and the deluge of complaints is not going anywhere. - hence we have been told that there is material uncertainty as to whether the business can continue. In other words...major doubt.
So I ask, is GC really going to save the business and what is JB going to do - infact what realitically can they do?! It seems to me that the FCA is the obvious and vital key here. If we get clatity and get lending again, then maybe we can stay alive but not if they decide we don't have the cash to lend in the first place. Which we probably don't. Hate to say this but I think the odds are that we're in a death spiral but I might hang around to see if there is just one slither of positive news feed.
