all those high profile executives JOINING a sinking ship...... aye, right.

now there's a word. reminds me of the last time i heard of no interest in a business that is no.1 with customers for service, particuarly in digital expertise.

you go it - tiz the theme of the day

loss making VMUK mar carp £2.5Bn...

£330m :(

Time to get rid of the Klingons off starboard bow, and go to warp speed

You think two stores will do that?? Plus, no guarantee. He has been at Metro since September - not yesterday. September was when expressions of interest arrived. You can’t buy a company with no CEO to lead the sales process. He has sold banks before. OR, you want strategic review to conclude JV offer best one - and he had risk skills that weren’t there before.

I'll call BoB to float an approach for an 'intention to make an offer', that being the case, and with other interest - or others that have not expressly decalred that they are out, I would undertake a strategic review including the sale of the business (whole or part) - that would flush out the rumours. They can't let it rumble on. When this happened for AMER and AMIGO the SP rallied.

BPC just let the locals all subscribe for half price... if it was me, i'd take the winnings and go full tilt on Matlot's Metro Cheeba Cheeba Bonanza.

But come ye back when summer's in the financials
Or when fake news is hushed and white for their offline
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you you are mine

Oh Danny boy the shorts are calling
From dip to dip and down the SP sides
The summer's gone and all the greenshoots are dying
'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide

Wonder what he has under the hood.

can't help feel that shorters are trying to flush out a T/O of sorts.

keith1 - sold at a lost :( sorry, it was looking pie in the sky

betting against me is prob the best thing to do!

About the same. Picked up some in 41. But methinks Odey is not finished there

Investors must be looking to the LURE of something new... something urban, something Metro

Britain's biggest domestic lender Lloyds Banking Group reported a pre-tax profit of 4.4 billion pounds ($5.7 billion)for 2019, in line with analyst expectations.
Profits were 27% lower than 2018 as nearly 2.5 billion pounds of previously announced provisions for compensating customers mis-sold payment protection insurance weighed.

The pre-tax profit compared to a 4.5 billion pounds average of analysts' forecasts compiled by the bank.

Lloyds announced a dividend of 3.37 pence but no share buyback.

Mr T , are you shorting TLW? It’s super low and Brent about 60. Gonna fly methinks
