I am well aware of the director buys and that actually proves my point. If you look at all director buys since Nov 19 including Rennocks, the whole amount paid amounts to around about £250K. When you compare that to the supposed mCap of the company, does that really equate to skin in the game? Mentioning the acqusition by Mangion is a bit lame, when the total value of the deal doesn't even equate to a decent watch.
Like the bit about Bond. I like the concept of risk and reward. We take the risk, he reaps the guaranteed reward in the form of an overly inflated salary, and a massive reward if it does eventually come good.....if it doesn't the he's lost nothing and only gained...definitive example of no skin in the game. Just accept that you are the arch apologist...maybe not a ramper in the mold of McRampup, but certainly an apologist nonetheless.

The Denora situation is a prime example of why punters are sceptical when a new partnership / special relationship is trumpeted from on high, and everyone gets really excited. “Everything’s going to be great, look who we have partnering us, we’re going into the big league” etc. and then nothing happens; it may well be that there has been MASSIVE benefit, but we just don’t know, because it’s radio silence, and unless there is an RNS telling us what we need to hear (it’s a binary thing, was the project successful, yes / no) then we have an absolute right to be sceptical and express our concerns.
I really don’t think the apologists simply saying “ah, that’s for the L series, we’re now working on the S series” in any way explains the situation, is simply a way of affirming your denial……..not bashing (don’t need to, company does that all on its own) just saying

Have a good weekend one and all…… the best thing about the weekend? The markets are closed so we have a couple of days where we’re not losing money……

All good got giving the Ramping Krew. Stiffy though

Oh, don’t worry, found it. I presume they’re something to o with AFC’s joint broker. I can therefore rest easily and assume that it’s not really in effect a glorified advertorial. Whenever has an advertorial ever been anything other than totally unbiased?

Could someone kindly tell me who Zeus are

What a complete twat statement. If I were ABB, what would I do? The answer is simple, load up on stock whilst the price is low pre subscription, subscribe for shares at healthy premium, wait for the mug punters to convince themselves that the subscription price is the new normal, and then offload the whole of the original pre subscription accumulation. The effect of this strategy is to massively average down exposure to the point where the investment in the subscribed shares has been nigh on self funding.
So, are ABB grumbling about the share price? probably not if they've played the game right. However, quite possibly if they feel that they've been played by virtue of over ambitious rhetoric from you know who....Only time will tell In the meantime, perhaps we could show a little compassion for those who bought in off the back of the spike and are no doubt suffering as a result of the share price erosion; you may not want to hear what they say, and feel that they say it far too often, but cut them some slack, and if you don't like it, just think of it as white noise.....

Can you imagine the stage show......a mock up of the deck of the titanic, and a dance routine based on the rearrangement of deckchairs

And here, taking the stage at Rewind are............Ramping Krew!

Oh my days! We're now getting all creamy about the possibility of "attacking the 30's"....has it really come to this?

Oh, and you're such an expert on business then Kev... I see you love trading, I'm surprised you haven't been outed as a con man trader by McRampup (but then again, as you're a company apologist that's unlikely)

Ramping crew = Stockholm syndrome

Complete drivel. The salary cap is on NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, not EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS. NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS work in an advisory capacity only, and generally work in a semi altruistic way, hence the average salary for a NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR being in the region of £40K per annum. All this talk about having to recruit the right calibre of director in nonsense, and trying to talk up the salary requirement for an NED using the football manager analogy is nonsense, by definition, a football manager is an executive who makes strategic decisions and implements them (it could be argued that a head coach is different, as he has more limited empowerment) so I guess that this argument is being put forward as a way of glossing over the fact that this would appear, to those without the benefit of rose tinted spectacles of simply being a way of increasing the moolah for the incumbent NED's. If there were a need for a top flight operations director, then make it an executive post, and pay accordingly, and if that means £150K a year, then so be it, but please don't insult our intelligence by suggesting that this raising of the remuneration cap for ADVISORS ONLY with NO directorship responsibility risk has anything to do with the gearing up of production, delivery or whatever, it simply doesn't.

Or, maybe the company just needs one NED to oversee corporate governance, maybe they might actually be able to get their accounts into Companies house on time. Perhaps that's what's meant when they talk about organisational development, getting stuff done when it's supposed to be done......

At an average remuneration of £36K, that means we could have a whole staff amateur football team made up of NED's.....maybe we could be called AFC AFC
Just a thought.............

Yup, seriously. You would have thought that, by now, the company would have a sufficiently mature organisational structure in place, or has it just been winging it up to now?

So they now need an expensive NED in order to organise a P*** up in a brewery

100% certain that there will be news pre half year report. Question is, will there be any substance to it?

If we're talking credibility, then just prove yours by answering my question about the annual accounts being late and the balance sheet strength of the urban airport holding company.....You won't because that required an analysis of fact, rather than more vitriol and pages of inane irrelevant cut and paste.
Facts my boy, facts.......not supposition, wind and P*** and bluster.......
