I was a huge believer that the previous management of NXS were the calprits in its dismal performance over many years (Michael Fowler specifically) but sadly I haven't noticed one bit of difference with this new mob in how the company is being run and it's performance.

I have a feeling there is a lot not being said because it is thought better that way and fundamentals are wrong. I think Cottee was proactive, able and honest which is unfortunately too risky for shareholders to be (NXS might last longer if you don't move the body but eventually it will die of starvation if you don't act :).

Don't get me wrong, I think Fowler was a crook and was enormously overpaid by NXS (almost $2 million per year for memory).
