I was not suggesting a British management would be better-in fact recent evidence tends to suggest that among the last people you want running anything with a long term view to be Brits . Not that Sr Cruz seems to be any better and with Brexit looming the phrase British and Irish will disappear since the irish will become 'them' part of the evil anti British European conspiracy known as the EU.
I was just wondering if Spain , like Ireland , has some special attractions for slightly risque corporate adventures and while the operational base kind of has to be where the main day to day action is the domicile/country of registry is where the big decisions get taken. That is obviously better in an Eu country but IAG being based in Spain was way before Brexit.
