Thanks for the link, Erik. For those who don't listen, Martin's main points were: He's not there to window-dress and sell the company. HQ will remain in Ireland (note: Irish interviewer) Company strategy is not the recovery plan, it is to grow and re-grow. His own compensation will be announced soon and it is aligned with share-price growth. He has taken a "pay cut" from ML. Sometimes* I wish I weren't such a cynical old curmudgeon, but I felt he was just saying "we're gonna play hard to get". * The times I wish I weren't so old and cynical are usually just after I've saved a bundle from being old and cynical. In this case, if he makes a bundle from selling the company, so will I. From the run-up on his appointment, I can't be alone in this view.
