I seem to remember on this board about a year or so ago disquiet was being expressed about Stelios' impending departure. Despite building Easy up from scratch with great success it appeared that as the company had become a big institution, the city considered that Stelios no longer had the ability to run his creation. Negotiations therefore took place behind closed doors to negociate his successor who the "city" could accept. This has now been done and Stelios has withdrawn as carefully and politely as possible so as, no doubt, to harm the price of his Easy holding as little as possible. One wonders what the situation would now be at Easy if Stelios was still at the helm. After all, he has proven his enteurprenurial ability, but maybe his style has not pleased the city who wanted one of their "clique" in charge of their investments.
It is so often not what you know but who you know in this world, which may be why so many contributors to this board complain about "c**p management.
