Deletions are... deleted30 Nov 2023 08:41
Wow, that was quick... I posted and the 'deletions' thread was... deleted... withing about 5mins. Similar info, re-worded:
1. General sentiment in the TG group seems to be that this was a bit dodgy, but that it was ALL Richards fault.
2. They seem to have accepted Jamie as being perfect to turn this around (despite having no info on his track record).
3. They have welcomed back Patrick, now blameless for his role in past activities (even if £280k+ richer for it based on published accounts).
A few questions:
1. It was quick and easy for Peter to lead a 'revolt' and get Richard replaced with Peters 'very good friend' (Peters words, not mine) Jamie. Where was the shareholder vote? Nice to end up on the board alongside your mate Peter.
2. Jamie is a 'significant shareholder' who has been 'working in the background since January' (Jamie's words, not mine) - What was his connection to the company and Richard during this time, or was it only via his good friend Peter?
3. Is it helpful to the BOD to have Richard be a public scapegoat?
4. Is it ok for Patrick to distance himself so completely from all that was wrong and throw Richard under the bus? Patrick was paid at least £280,000 under the 'old regime' (Dec 2021 published accounts).
5. Jamie is no longer working in the background (which shareholders didn't seem aware was the case at the time). Does anything stop Richard from now 'working in the background'?
