But in November the plan was abandoned due to fallout from the credit crunch, the company subsequently raising 拢756m in a rights issue and selling Trillium. It now seems Mike Hussey, managing director of the London division, has had enough. The company said today:</p><p>"Whilst the company was preparing for a demerger, Mike was set to become the chief executive of a major quoted property company. Demerger is no longer a strategic option and following that decision it was agreed by the board and Mike that his future lay best outside the company."</p><p>A neutral rating on the company from JP Morgan in a review of the property sector has not helped, even though the bank raised its price target from 480p to 510p.</p><p>JP Morgan has also cut its earnings per share forecasts for this year and next for Land Securities, and also <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090619060939/http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/libertyinternational">Liberty International</a>,</strong> down 13.5p at 402.5p. </p><p>But it upgraded <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090619060939/http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/britishlandcompany">British Land</a> </strong>- 5.75p better at 397.75p - from neutral to overweight. It said:</p><blockquote><p>"While the sector looks vulnerable to any delay in normalization of lending and rents... we expect clear winners to emerge over the coming months and believe their share prices will be eventually less volatile, more like how it was in 93-03 (11% per annum) or how property should be."</p></blockquote><p>Overall the <strong>FTSE 100</strong> is holding onto most of its early gains, up 15.22 points at 4341.23 despite UK inflation growing at an annual rate of 2.2% in May, higher than the expected 2.0% level. Sterling moved higher against the euro as a result, but gilt futures slipped back as some traders suggested the figures could point to a future rise in interest rates.</p><p>Miners continue to be a drag on the market, with <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090619060939/http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/lonmin">Lonmin</a></strong> now 36p lower at 拢12.64. <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090619060939/http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/rio-tinto">Rio Tinto</a></strong> has fallen 57p to 拢28.43 after warning that weak commodity prices and falling demand would have a "material adverse impact" in its business and financial condition. It said price negotiations with Chinese customers for its iron ore products could also impact on profits. The statements came in the company's prospectus for its $15.2bn rights issue.</p><p>The sector could come under further pressure later today when US industrial production figures are released.
