Laz, I admire that you can be positive and forward looking here but this forum is for all views, good or bad, whether you are a shareholder or not. I agree that, for now, we are stuck with the board and they need to get on with the job but the reality is, the company has been badly managed since around 2018. We were promised trials within a year from 2018, they raised, promised, raised, promised, and so on until now, where the boards last big decision nearly killed off the company for good.
There are some here that willfully ignore that all roads lead to the board, they are in control of this company and the buck stops with them, always. Stop giving them the benefit of doubt, stop implying that things could be worse. Stop trying to put a positive spin on, what is a massive dillution.
The shareholders risk their cash hoping for a good return, we acknowledge the risks and we are patient but we also need to be confident that the board will do what they say they will. Frankly, the goodwill we gave them has been squandered and they got too comfortable. They need to know that, there is no more good will. IMO, they are avoiding any sort communication to the shareholders because they don't have the answers and public apologies will crystilse the feeling that they aren't up to the job.
We speculate here because the communication is bad. We are left second guessing every RNS that is released. IMO, they haven't learned their lesson and they will continue to obfuscate because the truth is probably worse than most here think.
As it stands, 737 aside, the director buys last week probably means there is no immenent news due from Aus. RF will know this and will keep drawing down because they know that when the sp does go up. They have an option to purchase the warrants at 10p. The whole RF saga will cost in the region of 40 million shares and any future deal won't take this into account so if a deal is worth a £1 SP, then the initial £2.5 loan will have cost the shareholders £40 million. If by some miracle, the SP reaches £10, the total cost to shareholders is £400 million.
Yes, we want the board to succeed but the above is mostly of their own doing. The fact that Parker hasn't gone probably means he is a vital cog in negotiations of the deal we all hope they are making. That's about as positive as I can get right now.
