I never thought I’d say this, ColSoul, but a decent argument you put forward there. Stay away from acting as Twix’s echo-chamber and you sound more rational).
I agree confidence in the standing of this company in the market is presently dented. Not even an excess of ‘good news’ stories has been able to breathe life into the SP.
Change is now more likely to be the catalyst to turn things around positively. The chairman’s position must surely now come under the spotlight. Dapper, pleasant and with a whiff of the ole city spin about him, our present incumbent has really been conspicuous by his absence, ever since he met with TW in the pizza parlour (for those who can remember).
What should be required is a new, dynamic chair who has the specific expertise in the diagnostic and medical fields, someone who say might attend the same functions as an Owen Paterson for example (Randox, Randox and thrice Randox as Frankie Howard might have wailed in the past).
As for LR, he has a well-defined strategy (apart from the late showing to the Covid show and a penchant for the finer share options in life) and should continue for the present.
Finally, am becoming a tad worried about this US alleged tie-up with two big-hitters, delayed (and delayed) because they are supposedly not yet ready to announce. This is beginning to have a whiff of stale credibility about it, perhaps.
