I don't think its great news tbh, the CEO has chosen to leave before lending has actually restarted. His remit was to get "turn Amigo around" and get them relending again, hence it's strange that he has left despite the the majority of the legal hurdles now having been negotiated. It all makes sense now why he didn't present the last trading update (some feeble excuse was given about him being on holiday.) I can't understand why he wouldn't want to stay if re-lending is imminent, as the whole SOA fiasco has been a sobering process for him.
On the plus side, it is really encouraging to see that the SP hasn't reacted, as normally Amigo would tank even on news that is expected/baked in. It will be interesting to see how Danny approaches things, maybe a fresh start is exactly what is needed.
