He’s certainly no mug when it comes to making money

He used to own Sale Sharks

Summed up perfectly there golden. My protein the brand is the the only thing of value in THG and even that is probably only profitable as a bolt on to an existing sports nutrition manufacturer that doesn’t have exotic overheads

Lol :)

Have a read of their RNS this morning

Why?

Ouch

It’s not solely used in American companies. Like terrible Americanisms such as ‘reach out’ it is starting to be used within UK companies

As a direct answer to that comment I have since heard that it is in fact ingenuity that would be part of any said deal, but like I said I cannot personally verify what I have been told

*right

As I don’t offer advice you were wrong not to take it. I only share rumours I hear within the industry. Whether they turn out to be true who knows-I’m not sat at the THG round table

My tea leaves tell me that Boots have pulled out as they see THG as too much of a competitor, but Matalan deal will happen

Cost cutting is the only real positive to take from the update. Even Moulding was unusually damp. I’ve said it before I’m here for a capital event and that is what will happen. What timescales are involved who knows

Moniman - the other scenario you haven’t included there is the sale of nutrition. Partial or full sale - who knows

Moniman. Have you checked your blood pressure recently with all those exclamations and capitals flying about?

That’s what happened with Tesco but good question. Don’t know the answer myself. I’m intrigued to see the outcome

Nice detective work there JGallagh!

Hope. Yes I do and have spoken to others in the industry who have heard the same rumour

No idea on price, just that sale was going to happen

Can’t remember who put it up but someone mentioned the sell off of nutrition and speculated over how it could be sold effectively. I’ve heard within the industry rumours within the last few weeks that nutrition will be sold and struggled to see how it would work. A sale with commitment to use ingenuity (and maybe to use THG as the manufacturer would make sense of it all).
