Man Group named him chief operating officer yesterday. Isn't this wonderful?
[Congratulations, Manny, man! I know you've come a long way since I last wrote about you. I know you've been making an effort. Yes, I've seen you burning in the desert. Well, it's all paid off, hasn't it? You're doing better than ever, and it's only a matter of time before you become a financial shaman.]
I am concerned though that the GLG gang won't be able to get on with the Man gang. They are supposed to be one big happy family now, but can you see it working, dear reader? We all know that Man Group has not embraced mystical capitalism. That's why so many of its clients are pulling their cash out. GLG has a far more positive approach. I mean, the GLG guys are genuinely trying to get their heads around the new reality. Noam is a great guy. I love Noam Gottesman. I'm not totally convinced by Pierre Lagrange yet. Every time I see him in the desert, astral or physical, he seems to be scared shitless. [Pierre, grow a pair, yeah?] But the Man lot won't even touch the desert. They won't touch it! They won't even dip their toes in the sand. Except Jon Aisbitt, of course. He's all right. I've seen him about. And he loves that elephant god! If you ever meet Jon, dear reader, don't mention Ganesh to him. Trust me, get him started on Ganesh and you won't be able to shut him up.
