RBS Fred Goodwin and 650k p.a pension at 50!
Discussion
Does anyone else think this is bloody ridicilous? 650k annual pension for life! I dont care if he can't do anything about it, it still makes my blood boil when I personally know people who have lost their jobs who were very good employees.
Have a nice day all.

I heard this on LBC this morning, more to the point it was alleged by someone from the FSA (Stewart?) that Brown had political influence on them to turn a blind eye to the regulation of lending to compensate for his "reckless public sector borrowing"

Well done to the guy, he's negotiated a good deal presumably well before The Browturn kicked in. If the banking problems hadnt been brought to light, or if the banks hadnt had these problems I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid

Oh and of course that old chestnut that GB caused all the toxic debt in the states which no doubt is a major issue with the loss at RBS is back with us. GB might be a useless tosser but he's not alone in all this.

Yes - he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids / billions lost.

It's not much of a thread though is it? Man works hard, over exposes his company, company goes bust due to mis-management, he retains pension agreed when he walked into the job.
I suspect that you're probably too focused on the £55k/month bit - would you have suggested prison for someone who messed up, lost people their jobs and was now stood in the dole queue? Probably not.
