when is diamond stepping down.
the man is less than useless
and all he said at the AGM was untrue

have been told barc to annouce 3.9b profit on aug 2nd

So Bob D isn't that useless after all?

harry sorry for the late reply .
diamond told the agm a load of bollocks read is statement
the man is not honest
holders returns are not good enough well since he took over the company as lost over 33 percent of its value .
diamond is a walter mitty and sholud be hounded out .
he has no morals at all .
remember is statement back in feb the same rubbish .
the only people getting any thing out of barclays is the board .

so it goes to show the world that these so called top bankers are
only good when it is easy and are just normal people and not worth any more than
a tradesman diamond is just a muppet .
in 0708 you could not get himof the tv since 08 we have had a job to find the man
it proves that he is dishonest and should resign

Hmmmm.

, Tuesday 2 August 2011

LONDON (Reuters) - Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) warned it could cut a total of 3,000 jobs in 2011 as part of an ongoing drive to reduce costs.

Chief Executive Bob Diamond told reporters on a conference call that there had been a net reduction in headcount of 1,400 during the first half.

He added that although Barclays did not have a precise overall job cuts figure in mind, the first-half trend was likely to accelerate in the second half.

"You should assume this trend to continue and increase somewhat," said Diamond.
