    Did you read the article in the Sunday Times about him?

    What a whinge-y whinger... he was moaning about getting a mere £350,000 payout when he left, after he'd managed to effectively drive the company into the ground, destroying hundreds of millions of pounds of value and jeopardising thousands of jobs by being a complete watt.

    Boo-hoo, let me just get my box of tissues...

    Don't understand why he is complaining. Didn't read the article ... but am sure his fame in Wikipedia (see entry on Doing a Ratner) would qualify him to work in the PR department of any political party

    The article's here:

    He's basically saying that the media crucified him for one tiny mistake. There's some truth in that - but he then compunded it, and he was thrown out because he was damaging the company. There are some massive gaps in his story, of course, so it reads like plaintive self-justification - he inherited a thriving company from his Dad then threw it all away.

    SDtrangely enough, I can't find too much sympathy for him.
