Sounds like it wasn't board but some type of list management team/group (which tredrea is on) who said to try and squeeze something else. When they couldn't be done we folded and accepted the tripe that was served up.Cripps claiming the board had no involvement in the trades. Was a false story.
Have to say after 12 months Tredders time hasn't changed anything. To be actively involved in this trade and signing off on it is a disgrace. Could've just got Bruce Aberethy to do that.
