regarding darby's shenanigans over the last year.

grab as many shares they can from the small investors who give up due the the bad news darby will deliver. Darby will have his usual grin as he hates small shareholders.

interesting comparison with debenhams. both have large shareholders, deb has sports direct and Schroders holding around 17-18% each. like nissin, sports direct can sabotage any bids. BUT deb does not have a doggy ceo who cannot be trusted to act for all shareholders. deb also pay a hefty dividend.

this is fantastic news for a branded company, surely this is all darby needed to up his sales forecast for next year to 4-8%, perhaps even higher if lidl also announce the same.

100% right, finsbury foods is different from premier foods. They have a ceo who sets and exceeds expectations consistently, plans for whatever the wind throws at them. Premier foods has a greedy ceo who does not make the effort, but expects everything to happen for him, then finds whatever excuse when the wind does not flow his way.

Going back through previous trading statements in 2014, Darby promised sales growth of 1-2%, sales/profit down 5% in 2016 Darby promised sales growth of 2-4%, profits down 10% What will he promise now, sales growth of 4-8% ? what will the actual outcome be ? No new chairman announced so far, has Darby got plans to become CEO and chairman.

agree something has been signed, but it is still not binding as definition of "Heads of Terms" means not binding. Good chance they will agree in the next few weeks. My point is we are a week away from results and issuing an RNS which is still to be fully signed off is showing some desperation so there is nothing Darby will be offering but more promises of good times to come as he did last year.

so we have results out in a week, an rns is released saying indicating a signed document that is not binding ‘Heads of Terms’, with a darby special promise that it will be signed, does anyone actually trust what says.

from small shareholders. one year on from nissin involvement and there has been nothing but pain for small shareholders, and only a dark tunnel in the horizon under Darby as he plans further activities with nissin. Wonder what next, nissin factories making sharwoods in mexico/usa for usa market as they already distribute it. Could nissin have been behind the aborted selling of mr kipling products in the usa ? Is oasis our last hope ?

it can be as successful as frozen custard, Sainsburys have discontinued it again as they did last year when summer starts, guess they have other products that that actually sell that need the shelf space for the key ice-cream season.

http://www.knightonfoods.com/ looks like a stable business that can be grown fast, vending machines all over the place needing powdered products.

revenues are likely to be up, as last year did not include knighton sales, estimated to add around £40m to this years total, but little or no profit, extract the sales drop this year, the company may still say 2-4% growth, in fact having a disgraceful and liar ceo we have, he will use this to say he met his sales targets ( so roll out the red ****et for the mega bonuses). The problem is the profits, but it is not clear if the profits is 10% drop from last year, or 10% drop from what they expected, as they do not publish what they expected, I am sure Darby will use this to his advantage. All they are saying is debt will be £525m. Darby will do his best to make the selected numbers in the slides to look fantastic, but the media will destroy the results as all darby can use is fake news as he lacks skills for the job ( we should request his time-sheets to see how much he actually attends the office)

Have devon now got cows that give custard rather than milk https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=256952926 75p for 1KG, must have shoppers confused as the 500g is 100p

lies from the great leader, no way, he can do no wrong. Oh ha ha

darby will struggle to convince markets to get this to 65p as all he has on offer is fake news

totally agree, the share price is going nowhere with Darby there, he needs to go and go fast. Oasis know this and will help to get rid of him. Interesting that oasis are not buying aggressively as we would have seen another rns, after being on the board they know more than us and must be waiting for a better time to buy more, so how bad is year end going to be. Everyone should go to the AGM and protest hard for his resignation, assuming he has not resigned by then ( obvious the Darby lovers brigade will be there cheering for him and saying he has done nothing wrong at all)

he sure is up to something. I am sure he is expecting a call from the queen on her birthday for that knighthood, seen another visit by a MP to a factory to see his apprentices and meet the executive team. The next list gets announced in june.

looks like Darby never learns, can see another newsnight special where the corrupt business practise at premier is highlighted and Darby at the centre of it. can't see this from other food companies. Consumer trust is so important and Darby is clueless in this area. https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/3297452/sharwood-relabels-cooking-sauces-to-serve-four-people-instead-of-three-but-the-size-and-price-stays-the-same/ Consumers should not be fooled by crafty moves suggesting that more portion sizes are available from the same size jar

There is nothing much wrong with the brands themselves. In the right hands they can be made to grow.The problem has been the implementation of the plans and strategy of the NPD. There has been far too much copying and very little innovation and then finding out the NPDs do not sell as some-one has got there already, the pricing is far too high as well. Darby just employs human robots who just say what he wants them to say. They copied Mug Shot and called it Mugfull, then discarded it as it did not sell, are we surprised by this. Quorn is a perfect example of what can be done when the product is in the right hands. Darby is the Arthur Daly of the food industry wanting a quick buck, but does not want to put the effort in to get it right. His minder is Nissin rather than Dennis Waterman.

Love to have a job as a CEO at Premier where it can NEVER be the fault of the CEO. All the upside and none of the downside. The CEO would never need to go into work, just enjoy the pay and bonus for attending 4 one investor calls where there are no investors present and you can make up whatever story you want and hope if will be forgotten by the next call, so can then just make up another story up.
