no move on

You can't think normal anymore this is a game changer maybe for year and years. Social distancing maybe something we have to live with for a very long time. Can't believe people will even contemplate cruising in big numbers
Ships are stuck at sea with no where to go.

A cruise be serious ,if it breaks out again which may do, who would want to be stuck on a ship, whether you need a holiday or not. Bounce where ? Governments will owe that much money, people working in jobs that have kept the country going will want big pay rises and rightly so. We have just had 10 years of austerity and cant pay that back. Hang on lets book a cruise , social distancing......

Lets be honest who the hell is going to go on a cruise in the next 2 years. If its not brought under control quickly and many die its over full stop. Its like trump he is gambling with his job downplaying it. If he is wrong he is gone as well.

Terrible but staff must have known it was a possibility.
What has this Alex done since he was there. How is he getting away with this. Pathetic leadership surrounded by pathetic senior management by the look of it. Out there depth

Let's be clear the management are a disaster taking the ..
Still on big fat bonuses
Still paying dividends
They need to earn there wages and this is what they came up with. Hastily done get rid of bad news now. Not a leader in sight

Every carphone has over 540 shops

Well the company thrown all its eggs in one basket.. Alex looks like he got rid of Ritchie if this move goes pear shaped it's the end of the whole lot. Cost cutting like never before even before coronavirus. Just heard a pilot blame bad management for flybe collapse. How many companies does it happen to and it's the workforce that loses out. Big year coming up

Hope no one bought at 142

Washing machine row in Currys PC World leads to police callout, its on the BBC website. Just refund the man for goodness sake

I agree 100%

To be fair I think thats what they are trying to do, the merger is no more its finished cpw, whether it would have been with better management is a debate but there is no going back. Its now seen as a section of Dixons like Tvs, Gaming. The problem for dixons is when and if consumers say I dont need a new TV etc. Debt is at an all time level for consumers if a recession hits big questions will be asked. I looked at some old photos from the late 80s at the weekend. One of the things I noticed was the TV size, I said to the wife why the hell do we need tvs the size we have nowadays.

drop back

Not enough detail maybe wrong but all spin

I have to say I agree with Goldman they go on about not closing stores but didnt they have about 890 2/3 years ago. They do it on the quiet. They dont want the bad publicity, my local town lost a store not long ago they called it normal BAU, 890 to 600 etc is a big drop. They always say there wont be redundancy, the staff get offered other jobs but they took redundancy from my local store. I agree with his words at xmas about closures but what CEO would say it before key trading. I did read between the lines when he said mobile will see different proposition this year that meant we no longer need to keep stores open to hit volume numbers if not profitable they will go. Hence the other day the store in Bristol closing all staff offered new jobs poppy****. So they close a dixons and a carphone in Bristol two days ago where has everyone gone? They know most staff will take redundancy, especially and worryingly long service staff. This company will all be done online dont forget his background and through big box stores plus main stores dotted about in key places.

Companies fall and grow on customer service, poor customer service usually shows poor management from above which no one wins from, Big update in Jan, all we have heard so far is yes we are losing money but it was expected, debt is bigger than ever yet they are buying support with keeping the divi, need to see how they have turned the corner not just talked about it. I can see lots of stores closing in the next 6 months GLA

What makes you say that? most of the mobile business is through o2? From what I can see there is no more cpw. It may as well call it self dixons. The phone business shrinking by the year

Spot on, they are like betting shops in some places there are that many :) and we know where they are heading.

Dixons Carphone 'to cut jobs' roughly 150 going, more to come I am sure
I agree with Funkhouser I like the new advert at last a decent one!! However I cant see retail turning it around, 2 years to break even. Jesus he pushing the boat out there. CPW part of the business has just been run into the ground over the last 3/5 years and I dont see how the same people are going to turn it around. New CEO but on the ground I think its just the same teams they need full clear out. Yes he bought shares at 112 does that fill me with confidence, NO as he bought them the year before at 1.63.
