Plus, Malone, obviously hasn't given up on the US cable market either as that article suggests he would quite like to merge with Time Warner (fat chance) and other US cable cos.
Its the norm though for the senior people to leave, if you look at the financials they all held enough stock to ensure they never need to work again

Who were originally directors at NTL/Telewest they have appointed though - I have followed these businesses for years and don't recognise any of the appointments?

To date they are

Tom Mockridge - ex News International
Robert Dunn - Liberty Global for last 13 years and before that he was at Impress Packaging Group
Dana Strong - Liberty Global for last 14 years and before that Austar in Australia
Stephane David - 8 years Liberty Global and before that Canal+
