Add to that he was the bloke responsible for USA through that time ???? Now he is the boss. wow!!! Let the co sec announce it!!


Dave in retail there is a long lead time so stuff done 6-12 months ago starts to get traction and with tweaks can make a large difference. I had some confidence the last bloke had a clue but new bloke is totally on wrong foot. The largest issues were expenses and the scale of them going to wages and "lifestyle" that were locked in long ago that have now been cleared at massive expense to all holders. Look I expect a lot of wishy washy flimsy announcements at the minute that will make it look like they are doing a change but best strategy IMO would be to complete what they are part way through and fully commit to it.
Sitting on their hands and cash will only lead to immediate disaster.

watch out for anything that is knee jerk as it will reveal if the new bloke has any idea on communicating to add value and then back it up. Some serious depth on answers needs to be given as there is some glaring issues in regards to promotion, web traffic and engagement support of retail IMO.
