Sheik, we are unlikely to agree on this and pride is not the issue. The issue is having my investment value destroyed by an incompetent board over a number of years. Going back to the same personell and approach would be crazy. If Ando is that precious that his hurt feelings outweigh his duties as an office holder and now chair of NN as you report then I'm not sure he is our man.

One of the reasons that the new board is pursing the merger is that as per the BDO report the previous board was following the wrong option with Arthritis. It was the previous board that was painted into the corner. The merger creates new options.

As I say we will not agree, but I vote to go forwards to extract value from the merged entities assets not back to more missmanagement.
