The absence of a RNS only serves to weaken the "massive buyer" case. As is well-known, an RNS is required within two trading days of a 1% threshold having been crossed. Amazing that this has to be explained.

"Doesn't even begin to explain the massive trades the other week, which can only have been buys by the look of it"

Foolish comment, trying to pass off opinion as fact. No evidence to back it up whatsoever, as usual.

Telegraph article today about Tullow oil...

Worrying parallels with this outfit. Aggressive and ill-conceived acquisition spree and investment in large, capital intensive projects which never bore fruit. Loading up the balance sheet, never generating the returns to overhaul the mounting debts. A slow and painful way to go.

97% down, yet labeling other people as "immensely stupid". Wonders never cease.

"Gex looks set to blow with a movement in their permit application!!!

100k after 100k buys

Check the updated application on the GEX BB 🚀"

Thanks Louise, that's great to know. I'm sure everyone here will take your advice and pile in.

Want to know which company absolutely isn't set to blow? DEBS. Blow up is the more likely outcome.

Oh dear, back down into the 11s. So much for boom time. Maybe if the company didn't waste so much money year upon year and lived within its means instead of rewarding failure, it might be viewed more favourably as an investment prospect.

Where is the Credible Plan? Where is the delivery of shareholder value? In what way have shareholders been benefitted by the actions of the management since 2021? Tradey seems unable to answer any of these questions and only retreats into snarling abuse, so I leave it to the other members to advise.

De minimis ain't going nowhere. Face it.

"Any reason for the drop yesterday?"

It was a fake drop. A conspiracy between MMs and shorters, all so Mike Ashley can buy more shares, even though he can't without breaching the offer threshold (but don't let that get in the way of a good story). Disgusting, actually.

In reality, the company is flying.

"Actually southcoast this was part of the USDC closure announcement. So new routes to market were always part of the plan. Selective memory as usual southcoast? "

Ah yes, the "absolutely game changing" US DC. The winner of the 2020-2024 corporate wasteathon by a long chalk. The DC which the management (in my opinion) were already resigned to closing long before they did, but neglected to mention in the May 2024 results or AGM.

And your argument is that they had devised a master plan all along, which compensates for the waste of opening and shuttering a major facility within a year? Absolutely incredible.

I do think it is possible (just like me) to be invested yet be highly frustrated with the current predicament and extremely skeptical of any fleeting improvement in the share price. There have been far too many false dawns and far too much naivety.

So where's this super RNS that we've all been promised by the pumpers? You know, the one to reveal that a saviour institution has piled in big, lit a fire under the share price, combined with all the profits from the brands... then... boom time.

And so?

"My spidey* senses are telling me something is afoot given recent share price action - and it may well be positive! "

What are you thinking, FED? I'm thinking that they're on the verge of announcing a deal with Angela Rayner as a brand ambassador.

"Nor will they convince anyone that you hold shares"

Is there a reason why you get so incredibly irate on/around weekends tradey? We all know that you don't play well with others at the best of times, but at weekends you always seem to plumb new depths of incivility. Does appear to be a pattern!

"If 11.2p proved to be the bottom spidey I take it you and scb and xwwx ,adderblack,bon-scott and all the other "invested" will be pleased if we kick on from here and make a good sp recovery like the rest of us investors will be?"

Yes Fats, I most certainly would be pleased, as I have stated multiple times. I am after all invested, despite what the deluded might claim. But given the management's almost unlimited capacity for incompetence, waste, poor judgement, mismanagement, short-sightedness and overall dodginess, even you can understand the origins my skepticism. Thoughts, prayers, positive thinking and good vibes won't improve the group's predicament.

Yes more key personnel lost. Off trots the DEBS creative director...

Never mind though, I'm sure all is well and all of us fuds are just fussing over nothing.

A sponsorship with Carol Vorderman will more than compensate.

Only embarrassing yourself further tradey. You virtually answered your own question which I find puzzling. Even after all the panic cuts, the group still comes out with a mind boggling £350M loss in a single year following a £170M loss the year before. It's all there in the heavily delayed results, release just days before suspension was to come. All the evidence is there that the blastathon is very much alive and well.

You just aren't very good at this, are you kiddo? 👌

"So you don't think relaunching designers at Debenhams, with the great PR it is generating, isn't aimed at increasing sales Bon Scott?"

It's really quite simple really, tradey boy...

Great PR matters not one jot. What matters is results. Real sales and real costs. Similar deals with Naomi Campbell, Luke Littler Tommy Fury, Maya Jama, Riyad Mahrez, Lana Del Rey, Jack Grealish have effectively come to naught, because the group absolutely cannot stop blasting money all over the place without a corresponding increase in income.

For someone who looks directly at the remuneration report, sees £4.5M remuneration for Finley and still flatly denies it, I don't suppose there is much hope.

Plenty of brown-nosing - sorry - engagement and traction - happening on Linkedin.

I'd prefer it of course if greater emphasis were applied to stopping the business from wasting so much money, and into generating more sales.

But, I'm sure some ICONIC MOMENTS are happening in the meantime.

"his actual cash salary and bonus, excluding legacy benefits, would be £1.35m"

Still £1.3m too much considering all that's been achieved kiddo 👌

"So you managed to miss a £1m buy a whole two months ago unhooked. "

Did the £1M buy help the situation?
