Lets hope Kevin H does come to the rescue. A good business man who I have a great deal of respect for. If anyone can get back it back on track Keven can. He knew the value of his employees and you could always talk to him and he would always listen (might not agree) but he'd listen.
He gave me my first chance and Streamline was a happy place to work.

I'm sure he would get the support of the 'Emerald' team.
As for the appeal maybe the mob'ster is driving down to Gatwick with his baseball bat as we speak.
