You could be right though. Craig, I don't agree with you. Results on the pitch have been disappointing, but MM knows he has to evolve the team and I respect the fact that he is mixing it up rather than putting the best 11 players on the pitch each time. I think/hope he'll deliver the goods eventually but it will take time. Fred, David Ashforth interviewed me on Tuesday. There are no plans for a BF IPO. I said to him that the bigger BF gets the more inevitable an eventual IPO becomes, and that I thought the company could float in a weakish market if it wanted to. My opinions and not the company's. Thommo,

I appreciate the article was probably drafted a while ago, but, the article seemed to infer Betfair was becoming more corporate, with a view to going to the market. In the Q & A session : Chatname : lippy Are these changes an attempt to boost betfairs profits for an impending IPO ? There are no plans for a Betfair IPO Maybe you are out of the loop - or communication is faulty. Nice write-up, but there was an inconsistancy, which maybe you can clear up.

Chatname : lippy

Are these changes an attempt to boost betfairs profits for an impending IPO ?

There are no plans for a Betfair IPO

Maybe you are out of the loop - or communication is faulty.

We'll win again one day, although it's unlikekly to happen with the clueless Mr Malpas in charge. King’s Head sounds a bit like STFC recently - a series of setbacks and disappointments.
