What got the better of him?

2011 shortlisted for CEO of the year

:/

[gbh2] 30/9/2014 16:31

Going to be a blow for the staff at SUN, he's been a key figure in their training and progress for as long as I can remember, the King is dead but who's to replace him!

[argyle underclap] 30/9/2014 16:31

I notice there was none of the usual 'we wish to thank...etc etc..'

That tells you a tale or two

[argyle underclap] 30/9/2014 16:27

Seeing as his name had not appeared on several recent RNS's it's no surprise to me.

Lets hope a line is drawn and we quickly move forward.

[meijiman] 30/9/2014 16:26

interesting and probably for the best -but the second half of the RNS suggests there is real pressure on in terms of cash generation/need to cut costs.Chris Rea must have had a hand -did he pay 4p for his stake? -he would struggle to get 2p for his holding today. In effect he's halved his money in the space of a few weeks.

[gbh2] 30/9/2014 16:25

The last paragraph sounds ominous are they THAT desperate to save cash???

[mandate] 30/9/2014 16:22

Good, a bit of a shake up. Let's hope that Chris is knocking a few heads together. Still got great faith in this company - good products, just needs a decent sales and marketing team.

Rns at 4pm

[gbh2] 30/9/2014 16:08

Where's that been published?

[jmf69] 30/9/2014 16:03

At least someone has paid the price for this debacle with Bowland given his marching orders.

[argyle underclap] 30/9/2014 15:28

gbh - with a stinker of a hangover I've often said never again.

Until the next time that is.

It applies to shares too.

Only this time I mean it.

:/

[gbh2] 30/9/2014 15:21

I've been here before with SUN (1998) first shares purchased at 60p each, they didn't exactly shine as the ordinal company but they eventually made me a profit when the shares hit 11p a few years ago.

I now hold far less than before and have no problem waiting to see this punt out, whichever way it goes, but I wouldn't touch another AIM stock!

[leadingladies] 30/9/2014 15:10

Interested to guage opinion as to whether in Mr Rea's interest to let the co. go down then mop up the spoils for a pittance?

[argyle underclap] 30/9/2014 15:04

I'm the kiss of death at the mo, another of my stocks issued a profits warning this morning. its a funny old game - and much more note worthy - as bent as a 15pound note.

I think i'll be pulling out of AIM entirely.

[gbh2] 30/9/2014 14:35

Buyers need to allow the sellers to walk this down to a unattractive selling price, that would be the signal to top up imo :))

[gbh2] 26/9/2014 22:22

Directors rarely buy these days, they simply allocate shares to themselves on a frequent basis.

[meijiman] 26/9/2014 22:01

of course not. The only positive thing of note recently is the Guitar Man's investment. I assume he did lots of DD but he may have been legged over by these muppets. But he does not strike me as someone who would let his investment waste away to nothing without taking rigorous action -bring it on.

[john148] 26/9/2014 20:26

I have an entry point for this stock at 1.38p.Even then, I must advise that it's 50/50 on whether I will double my money or lose it completely. Apologies if anyone thinks I am deliberately attempting to depress the share price but I'm calling it as I see it. JM69's post 3257 confirms what I have been advising these last few months.
This company is in trouble. Anyone seen any buying from the BOD's?

Well there you go -I take my hat off and am now eating it. Wonder if SUN and De La Rue should merge. It would be a merger of equals-the most utterly...........
(readers can fill in the rest as they see fit)

[meijiman] 26/9/2014 14:02

wonder if the Yorkshire Post has reported on progress of this company run by a 'top businessman of the year'. Probably not as the PR company will be earning its corn by keeping them out of the press-and getting paid for it as well. 'Pass the sick bag Alice' as someone used to say

[meijiman] 26/9/2014 10:11

And here's me thinking that they will be pulling their socks up and knuckling down.Same old story then -Friday is a half day for the management -lunch time session down the pub and then snooze the afternoon away.
You may be wrong as all celebrity and Royal visits have been cancelled on the orders of Chris Rea.
