Since Cottee is taking up a full time role with CTP this would mean that its a part time role at best for AKK. Most likely mean 3-6 hours a week.

If this is so then why is he still calling the shots.

I agree with Hot-Trader that operating a small cap company is not the same as operating a large cap. More updates and news (maybe some would say certain updates are not important) but it does build a transparent line of communication.

In the end its the share price that speaks all.

If Cottee joined to help raise the $25m then that part is a success. If he cannot be bothered to update and promote the company to try and lift the share price then piss off.

The "500 squared" plan ... well even if this is achieved but no re-rating then its a failure.
