Quote: Is it Cook's fault that share price underperformed even though they got the BARDA grant? SP is to a degree out of his control, he can achieve targets but if market doesn't respond positively, what can he do?

Go and read Cook's announcements - the idiot think it is his duty to control the share price. He blamed share holders for pushing the share price too high! He told shareholders he does not want to talk-up the share price. Biota shareholders have to come to Hot Copper to find out the good news affecting BTA because the idiot failed to regurlarly update the market. Is it by sheer coincidence the lower the sp on 30 June the more free oopies he gets?

Quote: "... maybe the business side he is lacking but you can't have everything".

Your statement said it all! Is he the technical or research manager or is he the CEO? If he is bad in business, he is an idiotic CEO as the CEO job is to run the business with broad directions from the Board. Go look at PC's performance as the CEO of Orbital Engine (OEC) and you can see his proven failures.

I am not against investor briefing/investor roadshow. Good CEOs run them and then announced those briefing materials to the ASX. I am against shareholders tea party where PC merely pacifies aggrieved shareholders and just like his phone calls he worked them like a politician touting for votes! IF he is doing his job as a CEO, he will have no time for taking phone calls from shareholders at large!

PC's only know video promoting Relenza and Biota was uploaded onto the internet at the time of the swine flu epidemic when demand outstripped GSK's production capacity. Instead of pushing GSK hard to increase production (Beware PC and his supporters may try to confuse others by showing how GSK's production had increased - HOWEVER it was MISERABLE when compared to the increase in Tamiflu production capacity). Perhaps PC only promotional video was an attempt by him to claim credit for the increased Relenza sales during the epidemic or was he proting for GSK's one-stop-shop marketing of GSK's swineflu vaccine? Why is PC not promoting Relenza/Biota/LANI NOW when Biota need to be promoted?

Anyone who is bad in business should never be the CEO.
Sack PC before he bleeds the coffer dry.
