Anglo blame game begins

THE blame game is under way between former Anglo bosses over who was in control at the bank when the finance crisis hit.

David Drumm, who took over as chief executive in 2005, said claims by his predecessor, Seán FitzPatrick, that he took a back-seat role after moving to the role of chairman were “bullshit”.

In a book published this week, Mr FitzPatrick claims he left the day-to-day management of the bank to Drumm when he moved from chief executive to chairman in January 2005.
