Putting aside the fact that the Pandemic would have happened with or without Tinkler, there are some who thought he was part of the problem rather than the solution. After all, there must have been a reason he was ousted.......

Yes, he talked a good talk, but I got the feeling he ran Stobart like a personal fiefdom rather than a quoted company, and it's not clear what, if any, shareholder value was created.
