P.K. Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Tony Nicholls has been in post since 2010 and overseen a number of changes, including a scheme of ..... voluntary regulation of company profits..... AKA "Pick a number" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Barry. Hopefully we will start protesting more about all sorts of things that are wrong until politicians actually get off their asses and enforce change, or other people complicit in screwing the public vote with their feet.

Of course not MDs of Manx Gas resign all the time dont they Neil? Nice to see that while people like yourself confine their activities to anonymous internet moaning there are others who are out protesting and seeing some results of that protesting. I hope this is a template of things to come. There’s plenty to get angry about the way the IOM is run. Hopefully we’ll see a few more protests next year not just more senseless internet moaning that people ignore. It’s certainly helped in this situation. I can’t imagine his bosses like people protesting outside his office creating bad publicity for Manx Gas. Well done Barry Murphy and Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerr Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Indeed, well done to the Protesters. Shows you what is achievable and they’ve actually caved in comparatively quickly in the end. Makes you wonder what the next move will be to fix their unbelievable unpopularity amongst Manx Gas consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people outside MG will not change anything. However, it remains to be seen what will happen once he's gone. Don't count your chickens...

The guy has clearly resigned which would indicate to me that the pressure of the protests has been effective. He’s been in place since 2010 so why resign now if it isn’t connected? As I said a few more internet moaners should maybe get off their asses and start protesting about stuff and we might find that a hell of a lot more starts to happen to turn this place around.

In other words, you haven't a clue why he's resigned. Attributing it to a few protesters is laughable. For the record, I don't recall moaning about this. Nor am I likely to given I use gas for a cooker and that's it. Feel free though to carry on casting your aspersions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free though to carry on casting your aspersions The guy has resigned after a series of persistent protests about gas prices, and a lot of pressure being applied to Manx Gas and COMIN. You go figure. Looks to most people like that form of protest is a lot more effective than the now standard format of clueless internet moaning doesn’t it’?

Roger Mexico Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Tony Nicholls was only 49 when he was appointed in 2010, so he'd only be 56 or 57 now. (Apparently he had a big motorbike, which as we know is the main criterion for appointment to high office here). So he's unlikely to be retiring.
