Dislike of inificient brain dead directors who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery let alone run a retail empire.If I were the board right now I would be getting my CV re-done in readiness and leaving out a major failure!
who was in JJB ( with me and millions of others) will recall the utter determination of MA to eradicate all traces of his rival at the time. No one will stand in his way.

Anything is possible with him.....his main mission at present will be to protect his money and secure what he can as cheaply as he can. Someone offer him a drink...he opens up when he's had a few!
