That is why I said "deep enough", the problem I think, is that in 2016 ago when I asked the company if they were going to take advantage of the lower interest rates by refinancing their existing debt, Mr Findlay responded saying that it would not be possible as they were apparently using a securitised type of loan which got them a lower rate at the time of taking it on, which would be v difficult to refinance advantageously. Also that this particular debt was out to 2035 & worth £853mill. Given where we are with interest rates currently my guess is if they could have refinanced they would have done by now, I suspect they must have a collar of some sort on this securitised debt.
Certainly with the SP down here it is nothing like the problem it was 4 years ago with the price£1 higher then.
I hope this helps. It must be said that RF was extremely swift & open with his answer so it gave me a good impression of his managerial abilities.
At the same time however, he did dig deep enough. “ The freehold estate won’t be worth the £2.2bn at which it was valued in 2018, but borrowings should still be comfortably backed by assets.” With this in mind, + the JV with cash consideration, our present MC is undervalued.

This is the article I posted about yesterday, positive but not massively enthusiastic, which I guess makes it a pretty fair piece of journalism. What he did not do was too dig down into the debt question, which has been MARS real issue, imho.
Nevertheless it is good to read a piece like this, especially compared to 'Spoons media coverage !
Such an emotional board, cannot make sense of the bickering. Any more predictions on the JV RNS date ?
Lets see if the SFO ignore matters related to Marstons. Anyone who has insiders as you claimed are investigated.
The next knock at door, " hello hello".
Where do you prefer Supercharger , Broadmoor or Winson Green. You have choice. Free meals and unlimited Internet access!!!
YoYoMa
He most certainly is enjoying a seeing to !
There is a write up, positive but not massively enthusiastic, in the Grauniad today by Nils Pratley on Mars. Makes some fair points but does not dig down too far into the debt question.
Worth a read though, certainly his facts are more accurate than the Elon Musk of the board.....
Poor Tim released his figures today and the pompous a'hole is getting a right good seeing to!
Please ignore FD post not Marstons related at all. I have "the right to remain silent" as I am not a current shareholder. I will come back to report my own intelligence when I am. If in any doubt of my posts please see my evidence submitted before I went "under cover."
Your case rests with the Fraud Squad.
You may have fooled some here but I realised give you enough rope and you would hang yourself, and true to form you have .
I rest half of my case! Awaiting for the twin.
What a suprise!!! It was obvious from your early days here that you are not the person you would have others believe.
The strategy was clear a while ago when fake news continued to flow from your keyboard, 2000 pubs, largest brewer in UK , at least Fiona summed you up well, " talking tosh". Like many so called experts who inhabit these boards, your best defence is to attack those who have some knowledge which irritates Traders. Trader is what you are and absolutely no intention of being a long term investor, pontificating only days ago the SP would be 80-100p what a fraud.
As for using me and others to suit your strategy, what nonsense, are you deluded and full of your own self importance.
One wonders what your benefactor is thinking looking down , if indeed he ever existed. The shares bequeathed are clearly no longer held, if again they ever existed.
It is to be hoped anyone here who was gullible enough to believe the total self serving reports you published, have now seen through dishonest a poster and have not been burnt. If not suggest they take the time and trouble and read your posts which are more based on fantasy than reality.
At least you have had the decency, having let the cat out of the bag a few days ago, to concede you no long hold shares in Marstons, if you ever did to the levels stated.
Why would a trade affect the JV? Carlsberg UK is a completely separate subsidiary from Carlsberg DK as are all the rest. Freeths are not going to overlook the JV and make a blunder like a simple no deal/trade. If you actually read into the Carlsberg UK HQ press conference and back channels that are open to the public a deal or no deal will not hurt this JV.
During these past few months, you have contributed well tot his board albeit some complete nut job responses but some marginal comments of interest. I feel that you may have gone too fast in the Tesla and overshot the mark with these. I suspect you weren't a LT holder as you cashed in at a price that over 600+ bought in that 4hour window of the announcement. Maybe we'll see you back as you bought some humour in your posts. Good luck and when you buy back in keep it close to your chest.
I'm in. RNS released on 28/10/20 @ 15:00: re JV.
Est SP close - 62p.
I understand, entry and exit is always important especially on a value basis. Am very much looking forward to seeing how it all pans out come month end and once JV is put in progress as it’s most certainly a positive especially during the current environment. Have been long on Mars since the pandemic started, and will still be here for some time after its all passed so lots to look forward to in the grand scheme of things. One point nobody has reflected on is how this may improve future dividends also when they are eventually reinstated. For me personally, the positives currently far outweigh the negatives.
HI Pitterpatter --hope you are keeping well.
I have seen so many negative comments from the likes of Barchild and Fairtrader etc, and suspect they comment without holding any shares and so felt everytime I wrote something they opposed it (despite my last post being very accurate). I felt rather than let them fight against my share ownership I would let them work for me. So at the moment the more they write the better for me.
I will come in here later that is for sure but timing is important for me as well as for Marstons. I hope you will understand what I am trying to say. Good luck you deserve it.
