Amid a protracted dispute about control of the owner of Gumtree and HotCopper, the ousted chief executive says new management has “tanked” the business.

Jag Sanger, the former managing director of The Market Herald, has accused the major shareholders of the ASX-listed operator of Gumtree, HotCopper and the eponymous financial publication of “shameful” behaviour, denigrating his ousters as a “mid-level accountant” and a “yoga teacher” who have “tanked” the firm.late last year in a boardroom coup orchestrated by David and Gavin Argyle, the father-son major shareholders of the company.

Mr Sanger, a self-described founder, joined The Market Herald in 2018 and says he is speaking now because the behaviour described by the Takeovers Panel was “shameful”. “The current board’s position is untenable. This is a publicly listed company under the rule of law. Not a private fiefdom ruled by whim,” he toldThe Market Herald said it “vehemently refute[s] the allegations being made by Mr Sanger in their entirety and [has] no intention of prosecuting this matter via the media”.

“The board and its leadership are united in our focus on the future of The Market Herald, which is very bright indeed,” the company said in a statement on Sunday., which publishes news about listed equities, as well as Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader. The three classified brands were acquired by the company last year, under Mr Sanger’s leadership, using a $60 million vendor loan.
