Has it finished??? There was about 3 mins of tightly scripted generalities which sounded like an intro and then it stopped. There must be more, surely...

Seems incredible that they made everyone wait just for that - they could have just put it in the email last night.
Genuinely don't know what they are playing at these days.

Well points I learnt 1) all white, aged men are in the new team that will save us all, head in hands
2) football is important to them (really a 4 minute chat and we have to listen to BS about the "stupid game") followed by a "northern honest bloke joke" 3) and, well that was that 4) BTW no comments allowed on the youtube page, yep none
One of the worst pieces of communication I've ever wasted 5 minutes of my life on. Clearly they need to go and hire a comms man to pull this straight because these numpties are well out of their depth.
I've had to lead coms which are frankly better than this which included, "we are closing the factory" "we are halving the work force" etc and if I'd done this BS I would have lost my job at the same time.
Frankly I've tried to give Lendy the benefit of the doubt as they try and turn the ship, but this gets null points from me
No comments allowed but you can "like" or "unlike" the thing :-)

In this scenario I would at least expect an intro from Liam regarding the new board and structure followed by an introduction from each of the newbies touching on their extensive experience of pulling rabbits out of hats. Followed by a high level overview of the company strategy for 2019 and timescales for further updates to demonstrate progress.

I guess I am glad they are doing something to communicate rather than totally ignoring us. However that wasn't a webinar where there is a level of interaction it is a youtube video pretty much reiterating the email. Not quite sure why they build it up to be more than it was. If they had just said what is was in the first place there would be less disappointment.
We will see what actual actions the new year brings.

Dear Lendy,
Uploading a pre-recorded video to YouTube is NOT the same as "hosting a webinar" as your email stated yesterday!!
A webinar is defined as "a seminar conducted over the Internet".
Webinars by their very nature are INTERACTIVE with those in attendance.
Uploading pre-recorded material, and then disabling comments for the video isn't very interactive, and certainly NOT what any reasonable person could categorise as a "webinar"

And I know I am old school but webinar is a new word on me that I shall now add to my vocabulary...or maybe not. Don't define your understanding of webinar on what Lendy just did. Lendy posted a video. A webinar has interaction. Yet again, Lendy provides a unique and unexpected experience.

and they can't agree if one of the companies on board is SPF or SFP (on the same slide!)
Certainly NOT a webinar by any measure, and not impressed by patronising soundbites. I'd rather they actually did something meaningful than kept telling us that they can't tell us anything!

Just seems ridiculous to think that any of them would have thought this was a good idea.
At some stage they have to man up and face the flak, and now would have been a good time.
Far from restoring confidence I think they've gone backwards. Nobody is going to be interested in these 'loan surgeries' if it's going to follow the format of this type of **** - a non-interactive presentation lasting a few minutes only dealing in general aspects.
To me, it's pathetic. I expect these guys will be reading the forum for reaction, and some kind of apology note will come up later for misleading people's expectations.
In my view Liam should step aside as CEO, just seems to me that the company are in a real risk of not existing and the impression I get from his appointments is that they won't be making his life difficult any time soon.

Well, that was not a webinar and not worth the time it took to watch, but I should have known that as I was only the 6th person to view it, comments blocked, not very interactive. I like the fact youtube has a like and dislike feature.
I'm not sure this has helped you Lendy, getting some overdue loans paid would be a far better use of your time.

Well if that's not a failed attempt at corporate propaganda I don't know what is.
Clearly they don't understand what "webinar" means. I wonder if they are also unaware of the words "cringe" and "desperate".
Pacific updates on pacific loans? Jesus wept.
What this does serve to highlight is that Liam is completely unfit to direct Lendy and should step aside immediately. I really can not understand what goes on in his mind when dispensing garbage like this. Does he think we are stupid?
This video comes across as some Ponzi promo video, at best.

After watching that non-webinar, what is there to say, other than does it give me confidence that they can solve the non-performing loans that they have accumulating, I seriously doubt it.

I have been ticked off by the mods for using four asterisks between the letters F and D to describe the outlook for Landy. In order not to offend any delicate souls allow me to repeat my view (after viewing this pathetic webinar),
Lendy is well and truly doomed (D****D).
Merry Xmas

I really can not understand what goes on in his mind when dispensing garbage like this. I can only surmise it is to tick certain boxes. For what exactly, I am not sure. Maybe they have been told to do it by the FCA. This video post will be reported on paper as a 'webinar' and thus might be seen by an unenlightened independent review panel as a suitably responsible way to engage clients and respond to their questions. It's really all I can think of. It is quite amazing to call it a webinar. The only other possibility I can perceive is that anyone involved in calling it a webinar simply had very little understanding of modern media.
Realistically, it would be unconstructive for them to host a webinar. All they would get is irate clients. And all they would say is blah, blah, blah. The whole thing would be pointless. It would be like watching somebody in the stocks have rotten vegetables thrown at them. Mildly amusing but pointless. Bit like what parliament have shown us, really.
Edit - another possibility is that they were gearing up for a webinar, released the email notification. Then someone advised them it would be a blood bath and do nothing to make them look good so they pulled it at the last minute.
