CARWHITE is admitting her deception oh dear

[carwhite] 03/3/2010 17:29

Oh come now Baht your getting mad over GDP and the fact that I called it right.

Its not a question of being dishonest as all financial BBs are that and full of self interest. Take Steve for example etc etc.

Its a question of not letting one´s right hand know what the left is doing.

[solarno lopez] 03/3/2010 07:27

Well said CARWHITE I like your style

[carwhite] 02/3/2010 21:12

Its no fight she is no competition just a frustrated fa&t

[solarno lopez] 02/3/2010 18:23

whooooopeeeee a cat fight go too it girls but mind the make up

[carwhite] 02/3/2010 17:48

Oh dear Mrs Swan is back..when will she ever grow up.

Mrs swan is in GDP and don't like it that I have persistently called it right, and will do so down to 8p.

I am just me, Carol, never posted as anyone else, hubby would not like that given his job, and Mrs Swan has a big chip that hubby and me are doing really well and spend most of our time in FL.

Sure we are down on CGNY but its a flea bite...Now Mrs Swan lost big time with money she could not afford to lose. hehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Because he is a cretin of the lowest order. And he has made a fool of himself here yet again. He is a magnet for companies that go bust. He likes this Carwhite persona but has had many others in the past, including David Coulson and Mickey Muncher.

[solarno lopez] 02/3/2010 17:19

don't you like carwhite...why ever not

[johnswan193] 02/3/2010 16:48

Now this is very, very, very, funny indeed. I had forgotten all about little Cagney and Carol White, aka Mickey Muncher. Every penny of his investment is now down the drain - but I managed to get out on time and make multiples elsewhere of my original investment. It doesn't get any sweeter than this.

[carwhite] 01/3/2010 20:06

You dont have to be to report misdealing!

[solarno lopez] 01/3/2010 15:15

not a shareholder sorry

[carwhite] 01/3/2010 15:09

Get it done boy, I am already in another avenue of redress.

[solarno lopez] 01/3/2010 13:45

Carol i suggest a good old fashioned DTI enquiry

[carwhite] 01/3/2010 13:42

Just sent

Dear Steve Mattey

On 15 Jan 2010 you sent a circular to shareholders outlining certain events which would be taking place prior to the end of February 2010. You stated that at this time you would be making further annoucements.

It is now March so where are they.

PLEASED BE ADVISED THAT I CONSIDER THAT YOU ARE TREATING THE SHAREHOLDERS WITH CONTEMPT WHILE POSSIBLY PUTTING SELF INTEREST BEFORE YOUR DUTIES.

I have not encountered a CEO who conducts company business such as you let alone a PR company CEO.

THOSE I KNOW KEEP SHAREHOLDERS INFORMED AS THEY SAY THEY WILL.

Ms Carol White

[carwhite] 01/3/2010 13:39

in their circular to shareholders on 15 Jan 2010 Cagney stated there would be an announcement before March...where is it?

[carwhite] 22/2/2010 12:19

Sent this morning


Steve Mattey


I am getting an uneasy feeling over your conduct. This is what you said last year

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Steve Mattey said:
"When I look back at the task the new management team inherited almost a year
ago, I do so with satisfaction in what we have achieved so far, but also knowing
that we still have much to do.
At the time I became CEO, I felt that there were three stages which Cagney
needed to go through. The first, and most urgent, was to bring financial
robustness to all business areas of the Group; the second was to re-define our
business strategy and direction; and the third was to restore carefully managed
growth.
Therefore the key task during 2008 for the new management team was the first
stage - to bring financial robustness to all business areas. Among other
things, this involved taking more than GBP500,000 out of the Group's cost base.
Whilst this had a small impact in 2008, we will reap its full reward in the
coming year.
We have the continued support of our bank; we are being prudent and realistic in
our forecasting; and we are carefully managing our cost base. Ever mindful of
the wider economic malaise and the impact this might have on clients and
potential clients, we nevertheless expect to deliver a much more encouraging
financial performance in 2009.
I hope to be in a position to deliver news of changes in the strategy and
direction for Cagney as the year unfolds to match the changing needs of the
communications marketplace.
I would like to thank my Board for their support in a difficult 2008 and, as
always, my thanks to the staff of all the Cagney companies for their continued
hard work and commitment."
On 11 February 2009 the Board of Cagney announced that it had received a
preliminary approach regarding a possible offer for the Company, whilst
stressing that the approach and the resulting discussions were at an early
stage. Discussions continue, but this does not necessarily imply that an offer
will be made for the Company.A further announcement will be made as and when
appropriate.
ENDS

Then again


AGM statement


In the Annual Report released at the end of April we confirmed that the Group
had made a profitable start to the year, and we are pleased to report that the
Group continues to trade profitably.


At the interim stage last year we reported an operating profit of GBP234,000 on
gross profit of GBP4.4m, but noted that this result had been boosted by some
significant one-off revenues. Accordingly, we are expecting operating profit for
the first half of 2009 to be lower than the corresponding figure for 2008.


We are anticipating that our solid start will enable us to report an improved
operating performance for the full year.


ENDS



Also with the continuing support of the bank there would appear to be no need to have sold off anything.

We shareholders pay you an excessive wage to make money for the company. Frankly I have little confidence in you as to date all you have demonstrated is your ability to take extensive holidays and sell off money making assets at fire sale prices.


Now I feel is the appropriate time for me to formally advise you that if you fail in your duties while continuing to be excessively paid and earn your keep you will be held fully accountable.


Sincerely Ms Carol Whitie

[carwhite] 19/2/2010 09:27

The Cagney web page looks as if its specifically designed to drive customers away.

I have register my protest today direct to Matty I suggest you all do the is same.

[carwhite] 12/2/2010 17:52

I trust that you have all written to the company expressing your concerns. I have been petitioning other major shareholders as well.

If we all say nowt and do nowt...then we can expect nowt!"

[carwhite] 10/2/2010 09:29

Having looked further, I find that this deal really is not in the best interests of the shareholders and will be asking the company to explain why they think it is. I suggest you all do the same.

[carwhite] 01/2/2010 20:37

From the horse's mouth......

Dear Carol

Thank you for the email and your previous support.

I believe that the decisions Cagney are currently taking are excellent decisions to secure the business for the future of shareholders.

Cagney was recently approached with an offer for Tree which the Board feels reflects fair market value for the business. It was decided to accept this offer as it enables the business to strengthen the balance sheet and free itself of debt.

This approach happened after the AIM resolution was passed and in no way represents a fire sale.
Until the Tree deal reaches a conclusion we will not be making any general shareholder communications. At that that point we will make an announcement, and, if Tree is sold, then the new CEO will also be announced. If it does not sell then I will remain as CEO.

Best Wishes Steve


Naturally I oppose the sale of Tree.

[steven1404] 01/2/2010 17:05

i think it stinks we should have been informed on it

[carwhite] 01/2/2010 16:58

Not enough I fear, that is why it needs to be a collective effort.

[solarno lopez] 01/2/2010 16:01

what % is that as you need either 5% or 10% of the shares in issue to call an EGM
