Is this Gersnets very own Danny?

 

Yes, Danny who used to post on here and over on RM before that.

Rather magnanimous of you to concede what some of us have been saying since Green & Co arrived on the scene, pity you spent the intervening period with your head firmly in the sand so while it was obvious to the rest of us it patently wasn't obvious to you.

 

Just saying like

 

Not like der Ostrich to stick his head in the sand is it.

I know quite a few will jump in here and there, but maybe it would do good to read the article twice before go haring after specific things.

 

I've read it twice and without going after any specific points, it's safe to say that the blog article contains quite a lot of inaccuracies, ill-advised comparisons and unfair generalisations.

my eye was drawn to Easdale so I had the misfortune of reading another line of this monstrocity.

 

Ok, let us look at this. Yes, he did spend some time inside for VAT fraud, no condoning that. But he has served his time, carried out his residency at Her Majesty’s Pleasure and has not done anything illegal since.

How on earth does he know that

You mean much like what is being thrown at the current board time and again?

Don't know about elsewhere, but on here, I can't think of that much that has been thrown at the board that has been very inaccurate or even unjustified.

 

The old board/new board defence is poor as there has been no boardroom coup - totally the opposite. Like Trigger's broom, it still feels like the same old board with a continuous legacy time-line.

And that is actually the main problem. Nigh everyone equates the ongoings of and at the old boards with the current one, even - e.g. in Gough's case - claim that they shed 60odd million of ST and IPO money. There are inaccuracies galore and half-truths thrown about yet go hardly undisputed (by the anti-board faction), whereas anything the board does is put on a pair of gold scales. That is what the chap points at with his article and is - right on cue - ridiculed.

It's never been out of it!
