Okay. In the book, The FitzPatrick Tapes, and don't worry this is not contentious, it's an observation made by Seán FitzPatrick himself, and he was talking about how, after David Drumm had been appointed, he said well:
The bank was about lending. ... The lending guys were all about Lionel Messi. They were all strikers. They were the pop stars. They were the guys who were making the f-ing money. They didn't worry about how the money was got to give to them. As far as they were concerned they were the guys lending money and that was where it all was. That was where the culture was as well.
Now Mr. FitzPatrick, obviously - pretty much important guy in your bank. What do you think about his observation?
