This is a CEO/Owner you want running your business.
if share price doesn't improve, he'll may take it private
MM + SoftBank + friends esp have enough equity for a private takeover and he still has his golden share so no one could veto
"we do have other options in terms of I'm a big shareholder – more than half of the business is owned by me and a few people that I'm close with.
The reality is that we've got four really strong divisions, each of which are global leaders.
even those are going to be too big for the UK market. The UK market does not support multifaceted business models.
There's loads of people pressuring me to do this, do that, and I won’t. So, at the moment, the plan is I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing, I'm just going to trade through key peak trading period, smash our numbers like we've always been doing.
On SoftBank I do think they will do the deal. I just think it might be a deal for the whole pie instead. Take this private for IPO price. Three years doing the work they want to do and then they can carve it up how they like in Asia/ US
