Prood of you Tidjane Thiam.

[@blackty00]

this is such a negatively pointing interview. Thiam was honest and clear, yet she wanted to nail him to something.

[@bekaicole1426]

@RecordBreaker101 The 35bn price made sense when the deal was done but the Greece crisis and subsequent market falls meant the price had to be re-negotiated as most insurance company assets are linked to the markets so it was justifiable to ask for a lower price. It's not his fault that the AIG board rejected the revised offer.

ma cosa accadde esattamente in liguria? sinceramente non lo so. so che la mamma fu malconsigliata sulla scelta della casa. mandiamo il video. c'era uno che doveva consigliarla sulla scelta della casa. lei avrebbe preso una casa ad intonaco rosso, ma loro insistettero sulke case grigie massoniche. le mie previsioni erano bruttissime. venivano fuori dal camino dell'alto forno e finivano in mare (video). io le suggerivo una via di mezzo.

When you negotiate a deal it is usual to put a clause which protects both parties should markets move significantly up or down. The Pru made a basic amateurish mistake by not having such a clause in their deal. They have been punished to the tune of £mm in having to pay a break fee. Tidjane should be red faced about it and not shrug his shoulders and blame the market for the demise.

Just out of curiosity, how many deals have you successfully led of this magnitude?
