£12,500 per week

I hope it wears him out spending that every week

I think HMG are going to claw that back though :wink: - Rob

Rob - it'll be interesting to see if they are succesful. I nearly pi$$ed myself laughing yesterday listening to all the bleating coming from No10 about asking him to voluntarily forego £700k per year. As if.

Cheers

I don't agree with the amount. But if they formally agreed it before he left then I think it's wrong to take the money back from him. The people who OK'd it should be shot by firing squad.

 

[woodbloke]

If the agreement was all done and dusted and above board I reckon it's going to be very difficult for Gordon and his underlings to get hold of the wedge - Rob

I agree.

What needs to happen now is the Justice Dept somehow make it easier for out of pocket shareholders to bring class actions against bank boardmembers for civil damages on grounds of lack of duty of care.

The buggers were paid to do a job & did not do it properly - contracts work both ways.

As I understand it part of his pension was from previous employment. I just cannot see how they can get any back.

 

[devonwoody]

Wanna bet no tax is ever paid as well :roll:

 

[yo_chuci]

just a thought...

if RBS had gone down the pan and not been bailed out by us lot...

would there be any money in the pot for his 700k p.a.

and if not then why should he get it if the bank is only still in existence because we bailed them out... can't they argue that they put the money in for the sake of x jobs and x savers and x mortgages not 1 guys huge pension...




have just been happily grouting the bathroom and now my head hurts after thinking about that...

.......

......

because the prats who organised the bail-out (ie Brown and Darling) haven't got a clue when it comes to (a) finance (b) business (c) contracts (d) everything else.

The only surefire way to make him cough up is to remove his knighthood.

 

[yo_chuci]

i heard one this morn on mathew wright, can't remember it exactley but it was along the lines of

who's the odd one out...

the COE of HBOS
the COE of RBS
Alistair Darling and
Terry Wogan... (there was one other erm banker but can't remember who)



Terry Wogan is odd one out.... why??????????????























cos he's the only one with a banking qualification...

At the end of the day they are all very rich people.
They do not follow the same rules as everybody else.

'Sir' Fred is guaranteed £693,000 a year for life.


I suspect that that might not be for very long, though. I wonder if he enjoys hill-walking...

Or motor sport...

If he had an ounce of decency about him he would spend his retirement working for charitable foundations to make the world a better place, or perhaps become a philanthropist. He might actually achieve something that was worthy of a knighthood then.

Either that or he should be made to tongue kiss "Lord" Archer every day. What is Archer the Lord of anyway? Lord Archer of Winson Green perhaps

 

[devonwoody]

More appropriately Lord M

 

[Ironballs]

I don't even want to think about Mandy. Says a lot about Brown for a man of alleged high principles that when the going gets rough and he runs out of ideas he resorts to bringing Mandy back in. Again

 

[devonwoody]

B.H. he's had another rise its now £703.000 per year and increase of 10K within a week.

He must be good at something.
