Re: New ceo Dont be so negative John ! He was just backing the wrong horse then . Give the guy a chance .... form might be 1 0 0 3 5 0 0 4 2 .....SAGE
Re: New ceo A match made in Heaven?From the notice announcing his appointment "Mr Mullen was a director of Wedding List Direct Limited which entered into Administration and was dissolved on 26 September 2006"Bodes well?
Re: New ceo Well, the market wasn't too hot on it. No offence to the new guy, but a name from outside may have added a bit of sparkle rather than an element of doubt.
New ceo is internal promotion of Mullen wise?
Re: Divi held I got one thing right! Shame the "new" man is now getting £500,000 based on his experience of telling Playtech how not to build a reasonable digital offering.Who were the external candidates ? The IT department of IS ?
Re: Divi held At least Glynn couldn't be found anywhere yesterday to comment on Racing Right in the major feature in todays Racing Post, unlike the CEO of WMH. Maybe, maybe, maybe he has already left the building.
Re: the worst day in bookmaking history If Racing Right, just announced in budget, based on 50% of bookmaker's profits as opposed to about 11% presently, then bye-bye Ladbrokes. Even Ruby can't save them if speculation correct. Don't understand why price now rising.
Re: How strategically valuable is Betdaq... Betdaq and Betfair rival betting exchange WBX is closing today, because, in the words of their CEO:"I have always taken a long view with WBX and believed that we'd become a genuine alternative to Betfair on the strengths of our great platform and commitment to putting every exchange player back in control.Unfortunately, the business strategy is no longer viable due to the rising costs of regulatory compliance and levies in the UK, along with the increasingly prohibitive stance of various betting jurisdictions.Though I am of course disappointed that WBX is closing, I am proud of my team and the fairness in which the exchange has operated for almost 10 years.Please rest assured that WBX will continue to service its members and affiliates in the same spirit during the wind-down period."
Re: the worse day in bookmaking history "so that 'fall' by Ruby has saved a lot of jobs".Not so sure about that now. I thought that there would always be support at 110, even witha cut div. Dividend wasn't cut and still payable so next level of support is possibly £1 XD.Anyone heard any Budget rumours ? More sin taxes to cover increase in NI threshold?
