I wonder if Lassie has even been confronted with a balance sheet that isn't going to add up - then told to sort it. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't but there are always painful decisions to be made that will often adversely affect somebody else. Of course one is well paid to do this- otherwise you wouldn't do it.
How could Monarch possibly find a solution.. admitted in their satatement theybare to loose £60 million this year and £100 million next..no one's going to take those continuing losses on !
