ASK MC FARLANE FOR MYSELF TO INTERVIEW HIM. NOT HAVE THE QUESTIONS BEFORE HE IS INTERVIEWED.

[portside1] 08/7/2015 09:43

why did it take years to say non directors were unhappy with Jenkins for over 2 years when share holders new .
if MC FARLANE IS FOR REAL AND HONEST HE SHOULD PUT IN PLACE NO MORE BONUSES NO MORE FREE SHARES TILL HOLDERS ARE REWARDED AND CLAW BACK BONUSES FROM THE FORMER DIRECTORS .BUT HE WILL NOT

HE IS APART OF THE SYSTEM OF MILKING THE COWS

[portside1] 08/7/2015 09:37

well I could do a better job fact

TOM KING would be a good choice

JENKINS WAS A LIAR and have posted that for 3 years now proven correct a wimp

[portside1] 08/7/2015 09:34

[portside1] 08/7/2015 09:31

fact Jenkins was not sacked its balls he is just moving on for the next cow

[portside1] 08/7/2015 09:26

fact, Jenkins said he needed about 3 to 5 years to turn it around ,knowing he would leave its just a merry go round jobs for the boys .
now we will be told it all again by the new ceo .
its just a game they play not that good just have the power to milk the system
you can not e mail the chairman or any director they hide and untouchable by private holders . mc farlane . will leave in 3 years with a big pay off

directors of all ftse companies are paid far to much for nothing

Is Britain sitting on a £200bn buy-to-let time-bomb?

That’s roughly – wait for it – £200 billion of borrowing. That’s close to the national debt of Greece. And it’s borrowed by private individuals to buy not a home for their family, but to speculate on house prices.



With the 3 houses I have on rent, I am not keeping them to speculate on prices. I merely use it for the rent which even if I set at £550 per month, it won't affect my mortgage payments. There are a small number of people who have over borrowed. But if we have another financial crash, rates will stay low for 2 years.

Barclays said Mr. Jenkins is entitled to 12 months' notice from the company so will continue to receive his salary of £ 1.1 million ($1.7 million), as well as £ 950,000 in shares and a pension allowance of £ 363,000 a year until July 7, 2016. Mr. McFarlane's £ 800,000 annual salary plus £ 100,000 a year in shares won't be revised, Barclays said.

Without a CEO Barc will be on radar of a possible takeover target whilst money is on the cheap...No Advice Intended..

Bloomberg states that Barclays said the Bnk has not been efficient-presumably their is dead wood in the bank and likely to be more job cuts-Looks like McFarlane aint hanging around!!!!!Bullish on the share price going forward- but you guys know that.

[diku] 08/7/2015 08:27

Porty managed to oust CEO!....porty power!!....

[astol] 08/7/2015 08:25

well the market likes the news-all we need now is decent results 29 July a positive forward strategy statemnent from McFarlane-By then Greece will have exited or otherwise so well positioned for march towards 300p.McFarlane turned round AVIVA- so we are in good hands and markets /share price supports the track record and man at the helm.

[hamblyr] 08/7/2015 08:12

Insiders new, they nose dived yesterday pm, then back up to where they were today!

[astol] 08/7/2015 07:52

Bloomberg indicated a small drop but thinking about it its probably good news especially with McFarlane's track record.We have had enough of a rout so far.
Maybe budget today will be easier on the banks and be good news later in the day.

[manics] 08/7/2015 07:48

+3% at open.

[catman66] 08/7/2015 07:47

[johnwise] 08/7/2015 07:45

Barclays cuts out the dead wood, but he'll still get £1.1m pay for a year
