The £34.5M figure does 'exist' - JC, HP & BL(Zeus) created it.
We have not all imagined it. It was the 'market expectation' for FY25.
BL(Zeus) still believed it until at least 14/04/2025 (i.e. after the year end) - see his report dated 14/04/25.
By 14/04/25, did JC & HP know that the £34.5M market expectation was going to be missed by a mile?
If so, why didn't they alert BL (Zeus)? They are the company's broker after all.
If JC & HP didn't know (which I find impossible to believe), why didn't they? Do they not understand their own figures?
JC & HP should have done the decent thing and walked after this. As that didn't happen, others should have shown a bit of backbone, stepped in.
