Birmingham up to 27 now? Good stuff right direction!
Cheers Ronnie
I wouldn't be so sure...AB did hint at action to be taken...Ronald, hi...I can't see what you have to gain by deramping when you have already sold out...still to this day I can't understand why people who sell still enjoy spending hours on bulletin boards telling everyone to sell..when I sold I didn't go around saying it was now the end and everyone should sell...frankly, it's not a decent thing to do..some people are nursing losses and others are hoping...yet some people enjoy putting the knife in to people who are suffering...personally, I believe that action will come asper AB reply to drax ..it's not in his interest to let this go down given his big shareholding...as I said the other day im now a buyer
The weirdest thing with Ronnie was starting to deramp when he still apparently had 2 million + to sell.
Some type of saddest self loathing issues maybe?
Hi Monty how much exactly did AB pay for his share holding
Or did he just award them to himself at float
Personally I had 190k invested as I believed the lies they kept telling us all
Why should they get away with it surely it's up to fellow investors to warn each other of the lies and failings of a company
No benefit in all pretending everything is good here and letting a companies walk all over investors.
These boards are here to benefit us all regardless of the posts being positive or negative.
I was pleased you sold Monty as you are one of the more likeable posters on this board. I hope you don't lose to much if you decide to stick around here, they could have 500 restaurants and the 7million m/c would still be way above the companies true worth.

How would a PE firm
value this company with 1m of revenue who have raised 225m. The answer is 1 billion!
The point I'm making is if and hopefully when bigdish start expansion then markets have a habit of bidding up the valuation...
You can hardly put Sanj and AB in that bracket they have achieved nowt since IPO
You may aswell post an article on Richard Branson and shout I hope AB is the next Branson.
It would be more worthwhile if you listed 10 positives to entice any potential investors into Bigdish ( if there are any that is).
Sanj has looked increasingly uncomfortable in his last 2 interviews, his body language tells the story that this is not working.
If anyone is in 2minds watch the interviews.
Hi Ronald, I agree with you about Sanj...he hasn't impressed so far..I would have no issues if there were a change of ceo coupled with a change of strategy too.. we need something transformational...tbh AB was much more impressive in front of camera..at the end of the day , AB picks a CEO and has to give it his best shot..hasn't worked and time for a change now or at least a new approach to get restaurant sign ups..any way, I've off to bed...goodnight all...
There is certainly a vacancy at the head of the Bigdish table and I believe it is inevitable that Sanj will step down in the coming days. It is always an unpleasant business replacing a significant member of staff, especially one who appears so very affable and pleasant. However this is the nasty world of business, it is beyond debate that Sanj has failed and therefore the business cannot progress without fundamental change.
When his departure and the replacement is announced the sp will take a temporary hit, that in my opinion will present a fantastic buying opportunity. A dynamic new brush prepared to make basic changes to the way this business is presented to the trade, steering a concept that has been badly mishandled but with all the potential in the world, will restore that IPO optimism.
It may well represent the proverbial last throw of the dice but the right man, with winning, innovative thoughts, a dynamic approach, Michael O'Leary style, could well impact this company in a very substantial manner. Let us hope the board are as good as their word and take the plunge, opting for real tangible change!!!
Drax what's your Twitter handle
Whats the latest restaurant number updates?
Monty
I am not really a Twitter user
but you can e-mail me if you wish
I agree we could see Sanj leave, and I agree he seems like a thoroughly nice guy
He has the contacts with the big chains, numbers...
which rule would you suggest I should look at?
But you only really get to learn the rules inside out if you're creating dummy accounts every 2 minutes
do you want to spell them out for me
maybe useful to other uninformed posters
I have not found the rule book.
Thank you for kind assistance
D. Was a passage from an e-mail received from Aidan Bishop of which the concluding sentence was
"feel free to post this response if you wish"
Therefore not strictly private.
Regards personal details, I guess I can understand the reason for that.
O.K. I have smacked my hand and apologise if it caused you any offence.
Let us move on.

In the interest of total transparency you will find the post I wrote early on the 17th Oct is still there, that is exactly what I posted and I did take the trouble to post the full reply but someone had that deleted.
