..but there appears little discussion about Sales on this forum nowadays, probably because there aren't any :) The last info' from Nova was pretty dire if I recall and my gut feel is that this may have deteriorated since last report. Contracts (remember those?) appear a thing of the past and the Company's mighty media strategy has been reduced to a few uninspiring Tweets. If ever a company was in need of an inspiring CEO it's NCYT! Let's hope someone is in position by Jan 2023 and that we do not waste yet another year. Next year cannot be any worse than this - or can it!

Rudderless and drifting into oblivion with gold plated Bod increased salaries intact for a few years at least. Yes, despite surely one of the worst run companies around, many of us die hards are dammed if they will relinquish their holding and will cling to the mast as the SA Nova sinks below the waves. Reminiscent of that Jaws scene perhaps but the film had a happy ending did it not.

Nice area all round that coastline. Spent many a happy time there Hopefully the sea breezes blew away the stench of all the seeming inactivity around Nova. I very much doubt I will claw back anything like my considerable losses in my lifetime. Who would have thought we would be in this wretched situation. The mood of the forum is distinctly sour so I will give it a miss until the New Year. Perhaps we will have a new CEO by then... cannot be any worse than the last abysmal failure.

You still there Ventura 1? Thought you had cashed in and used all the proceeds to treat the family to a November weekend break on the IOW!

So will the same people who recommended DA as CEO be allowed to suggest the next appointment - surely not. The chairman must also shoulder much of the blame and frankly he comes across to me, at least, as a most ineffective unappealing character and hardly likely to fan the embers of NCYT into flames of recovery. How did we land up with such people! Time for him to go also I suggest.

Sadly a very uninspiring CEO so other than a likely unsettling replacement period let's hope and pray for someone with the imagination to drive the company forward ... but what a wasted 12 months or so!

.. sitting pretty whilst Rome burns as they will still be able to award themselves healthy pay increases year after year as there is still plenty of money in the kitty . This is now really an appalling concern led by an exceptionally poor CEO but who are the fools - sadly shareholders! Like many I will hang onto to the little I have left and try to forget about them. This once proud exciting forum has all but collapsed but I tune in once a week but news is scarce and we scramble for anything remotely connected. Publicity if you can call it that via Twitter is so pathetic. I expect to see a cull in staff soon -- pity it did not start with the BoD but that's wishful thinking.

Item on BBC news last night suggested that Covid numbers in England at least, might have peaked but only time will tell. The main concern was the increase in flu coverng all ages. Which ever way you look at it, hospital beds are scarce and respitory problems remain a huge problem.

I guess any much needed publicity would have been drowned out by this shambles of a govt. we have and it isn't going to get any better next week.

Good one Wigster thanks, must listen to that!

Yes, the potential saving in terms of hospital beds by being able to treat patients at home is invaluable not only in cost but also lives. We really need SNG to pull out all the stops now and that includes alerting the media who appear totally oblivious to the benefits of interferon.

Stated that half of hospital beds in the UK this winter are likely to filled by patients with respitory problems. Let's hope SNG do not miss the boat again!

... Judicial review result due today. Perhaps not too long now to wait for movement on Nova!

Touching 6.5p now

News on Covid certainly in the UK is muted at present despite a steady rise. Not helped I guess by the Liz Truss circus and Ukraine etc. A flu epidemic is also forecast so those suffering on the respitory front are in for a rough time. The NHS we all know it plus the ambulance service is past the breaking point. An 85 Yr old friend of mine with a suspected heart attack and breathing problems waited thirteen and a half hours at A & E last week. 40% of doctors are expected to retire within the next 5 years and I cannot see our cigar smoking minister has a quick fix solution. The existing chaos is likely to accelerate over this winter and become headline news again. Surely any treatment with the potential to keep people out of hospital should receive maximum support from this pathetic govt. but no it will be the US if anyone I suspect.

... that's the 'excitement' over for a few months. I have virtually written off this stock as a life changing loss and suspect I am not alone. Given my age I doubt seeing any payback in my now limited lifespan but I am still loath to sell so will try and put this miserable experience behind me. The only winners will be the salad man and Co. who, should the whole thing go pear shaped, will walk away financially comfortable and onto the next lucrative job. Am past being bitter, only disappointed I have not learned the lessons of previous similar disasters! All too late for me now I am afraid but no one to blame but myself. I feel sorry for the despicable posters who spend so much time here taintinf. this forum playing their own sad little games. What sort of sick people are they. Perhaps it's some sort of ego trip and they clearly seldom think they are playing with some people's lives. Ventura, I hope you managed to salvage something. Good luck and farewell.

... so little enthusiasm and expectation from a forthcoming Nova presentation. Will salad man give us a dollop of salad cream to whet our taste buds or will it be the usual insipid offering. Sadly he has far less oomph than even Sir Keir who at least seems to care about the people he represents. The fact that sadly Covid is gaining momentum again appears to be our only short term chink of light. Who would have thought we would be in this situation.

Don't want to be a wet blanket, but didn't we go through all this once before and the SP crashed spectacularly!

Didn't RM recently state there would be a write up of latest findings in a medical journal soon? Hopefully The Lancet like last time if I recall correctly! This may whet a few appetites.
