Pikey - my point was that it seems somewhat churlish of Alq to ridicule one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs on a matter unrelated to RP, unless of course he has his own axe to grind with respect JM. Perhaps he was a former consultant to Ple removed by JM ? His deep knowledge of events going back several years would seem to support this.
Whilst I understand your frustration with JG I am not sure that all the failings can be laid at his doorstep. The specialist pharma experience lies with Dr Mike and no doubt he will have been assisted by external pharma consultants.
The decision to produce a 6 dose can at the request of Recordati was clearly a catastrophic one and why the FDA submission was not simply advanced with the original 20 dose canister has never really been explained. Had it done so, the changes in FDA regulation may well have been avoided but they are now of the control of RP.
My disappointment with JG was his failure to explain clearly why the €5m milestone from Recordati had been delayed. He also provided Bignose which much dud information, but was that deliberate or just his best understanding of the situation at the time.?
I have always believed that a pharma investment company should be headed up by an experienced pharma specialist, a background in mining makes little sense unless the only objective here is to flog RP.
