honeymoon is over, page-3

Mr.T - i agree and sympathise with your post. But I think you highlighted the point quite clearly - beggars cant be choosers, in essence, and MC left the firm on the verge of insolvency. So really, am sure things could have been done better but in the first 100days Eve+team have accomplished a great deal with, initially, a very limited budget and company credibility.
So i actually think given the enormous constraints and hurdles, we are well over the worst for this firm.
I think now it's a question of analysing the 3D data then moving onto the jack-ups and get drilling. only then will we really know if this a hero or a zero.
but sure - woulda coulda shoulda
i think one needs to look at this firm as a totally new business, with a new management, direction and asset focus path going forward. is it worth 30-35c or not, right here, right now?
