Exactly what I thought when I read it.

Forgo the consultants & add back the expected fee to the next round of expenditure cuts.Is it that hard? You have a good idea of what you need to retain to grow the business,then return the balance in the most value accretive form to shareholders....through buybacks if the share price doesn't reflect the underlying value & growth expected or dividends otherwise. It's not really that hard because ultimately that's all it basically is. Boards & management have an uncanny way of complicating & then totally buggering the most simple things
