With results only days away - and the SP down over 10% from recent levels - the ONLY shorters are either hedge funds (covering their sizable long positions) OR fools who still haven't realised that this business has turned a corner and is on the cusp of exploding upwards.

Still a golden opportunity for @aim and cabbage to make some serious money here - but I think they are more likely to lose and close out their unwinnable short!

I think Staveley is very shrewd and he's got history with AH so I think only fools (aim and cabbage?) would bet against him.

His Filtronic tip at 12p (over £2 now) was inspired and I'm expecting the same sort of uplift (perhaps not quite so exponential) here

@Trisor - it was in the Mail on Sunday yesterday

I was hoping we would have pushed back towards £3.66 resistance / support by now as there was no negative news over the weekend ...

In fact we got Richard Staveley actively saying that he thinks Capita can 3 bag from here and he's sat waiting for it to happen.

Any positive news on the Civil Service Pension is going to cause this to explode

@marcus - fabulous - found your message and I have replied too

Haven't received any messages Marcus - this is my specific Facebook profile:

@Marcus - haha - you've found me - photographed on the day I got engaged to my wife in the 80s - haha brilliant - that made me smile!

@Marcus - Cricklade, Wiltshire is where I'm based (it's the posher end of Swindon 😜)

@Trisor - fingers crossed that Marcus can find me

@Simpiles - I think they testified to parliament - as per Civil Service World article - that the backlog was 120,000 as of 12/02!

@Simpiles / @Marcus - I'm not a member here but happy for you to reach out to me via Facebook so that I can join your WhatsApp group - Mark Trenfield is my real name!

JubberJim - over at ADVFN - is suggesting that the pension backlog is now estimated to be 135,000!

JubberJim is another of those Capita Bears who loves to stir the pot (like our resident clowns on here) so I take it with a pinch of salt BUT with the radio silence from IR - it's difficult not to twitch when you see a post like that!

Richard Staveley and Rockwood - and by implications Capita - get a mention on Page 58 of Mail on Sunday ...

I expect Capita will be treated fairly (by The Cabinet Office) in the end as it's not in anyone's interest to start off this new phase of managing The Civil Service Pension with bad feeling between TCO and CPI.

Nobody cleans up someone else's mess for free - so I am assuming a separate contract has been agreed to cover this transition period as Capita clears the backlog

If our IR department hadn't lost their tongues - we would probably know this! But the silence is deafening!

@Capitalizer The link - post by aim - was also posted by cabbage yesterday and a few of us responded.

If this is the best @aim can find on a problem that is CLEARLY not Capitas fault - then we going to be just fine.

I've just posted the latest update from Civil Service World on a separate thread here as our own IR team continue to remain SILENT!

Very interesting read!

It was delivered - but no response yet.

If I get a reply I'll be sure to post it here.

Hi Adolfo

I dropped an email to Helen Parris last night as I am concerned that Capita are not controlling the narrative re: the fallout from the Civil Service Pension Contract.

Civil Service World have been openly discussing it and it was detailed in The Daily Mail yesterday and discussed on Radio 4 Today programme today.

Most of the narrative seems to suggest that it's Capita's inefficiency and poor management that has caused these issues - which we all know is not the truth.

Helen replied and mentioned the joint statement of 28th January - but there has been so much noise since then - NONE of which has been controlled by Capita.

I also note that since the 28th January statement even more staff have been allocated to the contract.

IR from Capita has - historically - always been poor and the share price has taken quite a hit over the last week.

I really think Capita need to be taking a more forthright approach to these issues and make it clear what an amazing job they are doing trying to clean up the mess they've inherited.

I'm personally holding over 117,000 Capita shares and would really like to see a front foot statement from IR to contradict the sea of disinformation being spread by the Unions and the media.

I know you are all working flat out to sort these pension issues - but I think the public at large see this as just another example of CRAPITA!

Which is grossly unfair!

@savage - of course I feel sorry for Julie from The Wirral as she's been so let down by the PREVIOUS PENSION MANAGER who failed to answer her calls or deal with her pension.

Julie was left in a huge TO DO pile whilst the previous provider went on strike (encouraged no doubt by the Unite Union) and now she's suffering.

It's brilliant that Capita won the contract because they can now sort out the mess (none of which was their own making) and get Julie's pension to her asap.

Just remember - if Capita hadn't taken over running the scheme then it's highly likely Julie would NEVER have received her pension!

@savage - and how is this Capita fault?

This pensioner - plus the many others who are having problems with their Civil Service Pensions right now - have all been let down by The Cabinet Office (for not managing the previous pension supplier properly) and of course the previous pension supplier is to blame for not dealing with these issues before handover.

Capita won the contract and are now clearing up the mess caused by others and should be congratulated for stepping in to get things moving again.

@Capitalizer - I think you are reading it right - 0% to 9.8% via the purchase of 11 million shares ....

Ha no wonder they dropped the price down over the last few days - wouldn't want to be paying full price for that lot!

I agree that free float must be squeezed!
