I was wondering if anyone has a more informed/learned view on the state of play regarding Metro Bank.

This is the second time I've seen their shares drop like a stone which can't be a good sign. For the sake of disclosure, I have no skin in the game regarding stock but was looking to move to them commercially and I have doubts about their integrity because of the "what if" factor.

I am aware they are looking to raise a good chunk of funding and that there is some doubt emerging over their ability to do so. Of course, we'd like to believe that UK PLC will never let a bank fail but Northern Rock proved otherwise so it's not out of the question.

Or am I wrong?

Best,
Simon
