There is no pressure on him to resign. As long as Nissin has it's stake, he has a job for life.

Disappointing to see SP drifting back to sub 4p again. We seem to be making good steady, debt-free progress on T/O, Profit, Acquisitions etc but for some reason it isn't translating into SP growth.

Re "Pity the poor s-d, that let 50,000 go at 31.6p". Maybe he/she knows something. lol. That was a hell of a tree shake.

Back up again. Just imagine if you'd had a 20% stop loss there. Rotten barstewards.

WTF happened there?????????

Yeah not brilliant. However if time is on your hands and it drops a penny or two below 40p could well be worth a top up. My average is 40p anyway so won't really make much difference but am prepared to hold for medium term if necessary.

Re "but our Q3 Group sales up +4.0%; year to date". Yes overall up but you do need to break that down. Branded up 0.7% and Non-branded up 17%. So the "busy fools/low profit" bit is racing ahead but our mainstays are almost static. Agree, still better than market but only if the result is higher profits.

If it helps sort out the debt issue and encourage more interest in the share, I'm fine with that. Apart from share dilution, my only issue would be dilution of dividend, but let's face it there's been a bit of a dearth on those in recent years so a nice problem to have. Just hope that the extra raising would be BWO rights and not a city placing like they always seem to do on AIM

For those who thought recent sp increase was anything to do with the quarterly trading statement, the gradual and predictable drop back to 40p merely confirms to me that we will not see a significant or sustainable rise without either several good trading quarters, profit up and debt well down, or takeover/partial sale such as current rumour suggests. Sorry one other, Darby walks

I seem to recall someone on this BB last year suggesting GD was to be investigated for his role in the failed takeover bid. Is that so and if so does anyone have an update on it?

Assuming they do get Bachelors, it would essential that the proceeds are used to reduce the debt which continues to have a stranglehold PFD. Only problem is that with no Bachelors, TO and profit are reduced so no bargain basement deals with your mates please GD

Can see us eventually ending up as a service company for Mondelez

Is that how it's going to be? Death by a thousand cuts with bits being picked off one by one till all we've got left is half of Hovis. Still at least EBITDA should be below three!!!!!

Why would you give a toss about the city hating you when, having shoehorned an overseas predator into your company, you are now in an unsackable position whilst hoovering up a massive salary and millions of cheap share options. I could certainly live with that hatred if I were Darby. I too have a modest holding around �5k showing a tiny profit, but will not top up whilst Darby has any connection with PFD.

More good news. Can't remember last time we had bad news in recent times. Shame SP retraced after rise. Presumably on profit taking. We must be starting to show on bigger radars now. GLA

Aldi and Lidl still gaining ground on majors.

Signed another agreement to add to cereals. This time with an American company

And then you woke up and realized it was all a dream. Lol

Hope this isn't following the recent pattern of SBRY, ie slow downward drip pre results then big drop on results. First part has already happened

Re "This is not fit the purpose for an investment. Only good for bond holders, pensioners, employees ( not all, remember 50 got shafted by Darby), banks, supermarkets etc". Odd statement as regards what a typical investor profile is. Do you actually mean that it's not fit for purpose for trading/shorting? Seems to me the list you quote are quite a broad spectrum of investors, including myself who has just become a pensioner.
