Over the moon due to Simon Cowell or sadly depressed? Is Ged good or bad? Is the appalling Nick "Dane Bowers will be the biggest star in the world" Raphael keeping head above water with JLS and SFG?

Raphael golden boy at moment. Ged hates Cowell. But you can't argue with sales like JLS and Boyle.

Has the Ashley Newton appointment been announced yet?

And where are Tim Bowen and Charles Goldstuck these days?

Tim Bowen was binned 2 years ago-not popular while he was there and therefore no tears shed. Goldstruck still clinging to your mate Clive D.

I'm afraid Bunk Morland isn't that well informed. Both Tim and Charles left in the same re shuffle in April 2008. Charles is now CEO of Touch Tunes. Not sure about Tim. I know he was an investor in a veideo production Co that he also did some work for. I disagree about Tim not being popular. Both Tim and Charles were in positions were they often had to say No and had to make unpleasent decisions but on a one to one both were good people and Tim was certainly well liked by his staff.

Tim has set up his own label from what I have heard. Was liked greatly by all at sony.
