I think the media is playing the nasty role here.
Ordinary people do not grasp the whole picture and just accept what is presented to them by the media.

Even some of BBC reporters are following the bigger players rather than being independent.

new policy is for transparency ...

Inevitably, we move towards this given the internet access...

Lloyds Banking Group has unveiled changes to its board and the management team. The changes mean that there will be five business lines reporting directly to the group chief executive António Horta-Osório.

Alison Brittain will undertake the newly-created role of group director of retail with responsibility for the multi channel and multi brand strategy including Lloyds TSB, the Bank of Scotland and Halifax, retail products and marketing, as well as telephony and digital banking.

Antonio Lorenzo, group director of strategy and wealth and international, will also undertake responsibility for asset finance which had formerly been a part of the wholesale business.

Truett Tate, group executive director for wholesale has decided to retire and will not seek re-election at the annual general meeting in May.

As a result, Andrew Géczy, CEO of wholesale banking and markets, will report on an interim basis to Horta-Osório. The group has begun a search internally and externally for a permanent director of the group's wholesale division. John Maltby remains as director of commercial continuing with his responsibility for our SME businesses. Toby Strauss's role also remains unchanged as director of the group's insurance division.

Further to the centralisation of all control functions as part of the group strategic review in 2011 there will now be five control and support functions as follows:

* Risk - led by chief risk officer Juan Colombas

* Finance - led by group finance director, Tim Tookey currently and George Culmer when he joins the group

* Operations - led by director of group operations, Mark Fisher

* Corporate Affairs - led by group corporate affairs director, Matt Young

Group corporate functions - human resources, legal and secretariat and group audit - will now report to a newly-created position of group corporate functions director.

Horta-Osório said: "The changes to the group's senior management team ensure we have the right organisational structure to deliver on our strategy and move to the next phase of the Group's transformation.

"By bringing together our community banks with product and marketing functions we will deliver better, more targeted customer propositions."

horta osorio. has now put all yes people around him .
RBS did that . no one will question him even when he
makes big mistakes bad news .

Like him or not, strong management is what's needed. No one with any sense is going to surround himself with people who are going to continually question his judgement. If this is close to 100p by Xmas 2012, you are going to have to eat your words T. I trust, in that case, you will send him another e-mail retracting your earlier doubts?

"Like him or not, strong management is what's needed. No one with any sense is going to surround himself with people who are going to continually question his judgement."

Harry, I would suggest that's "exactly" what people at the "so called" top need.

Get real Stan. Leadership is about leading, not continually being undermined, so it's totally natural to delegate to people who are compliant and not defiant.
