<< Solly could dump the shares just to be spiteful but that would cost him millions and some how I just can't see him doing that >>

Ridge, word in the street is that Solly is sitting on a good deal of insurance - puts in CML and also calls on the borrowed stock.

If he is off the board (let's hope so) I would expect him to dump CML - and this could have little financial impact if the stock deal was well structured.
