Trust in Management Team26 May 2025 12:30
Fernan & Surfit,
You two remind me of the Muppet characters, Statler & Waldorf.
I always read your views with interest because I think it's dangerous to close your eyes to the opinions of others.
However, your downbeat assessment of prospects based on the trust we should give to the Board of Directors may not be as you portray.
Firstly, we're still here after all these years and no income. Yes, we've been massively diluted but faced Armageddon after the ENOG debacle. It hasn't happened.
Second, the raise appears to have been oversubscribed. I assume, maybe wrongly, that investors thought there is value at the current SP and maybe, just maybe, like the plan put forward by AP & Co.
Thirdly, this has become an increasingly complex business and requires management to be fleet of foot. Whilst we may all crave a blow by blow commentary on what's happening, we're never going to get one. That's not a management failing imho, it's real life in this world.
Finally, assuming you both are still shareholders, your downbeat view of the leadership is in sharp contradiction to what you hope or expect to get from this investment. Of course, you're entitled to air your views, but any light at the end of the tunnel is treated like someone else coming with bad news.
Cheer up, good things things are happening.
