..employees as well ... many will also be shareholders.. they deserve an answer just as much as the shareholders.. what is going to happen!!!?

It's your decision to come on this thread.. to read the posts.. and sorry, if you decided to invest £550 here because of some BB comments - you really shouldn't be investing in the first place! DYOR!! Surely every Tom, Dick and Harry on here knows the score? It's literally double your money or nothing by Monday now... eyes wide open....

Of course there is still a risk of administration but it has been kicked into the long grass. The company will still need to get a CVA approved at some point and the excessive interest/bank charges on the new refinancing are a real risk to the company's future. Of course the immediate concern is whether Debenhams stays listed or not...

Agree Falcan - how can shareholders support a board that's about to wipe their investment out? Even "poor" Sergio will lose his holding.. sorry but being an observer (atm) instead of a shareholder - provides a bit more rational thought - and as far as I am concerned - if MA was going to bid for Debenhams - he would have done it by now - the share price suggests I am right as well. Of course there is still time for him to table an offer and who knows what's going on in the background.. but on Monday I reckon it was 60/40 on a bid.. now it's 40/60 against.. tomorrow 30/70 and Monday zlitch.. so my only opinion - not advise - is not to have any more in here that you can afford to lose GLA because I hope I am wrong !!

Just checked the 40 runners .. none called Debenhams sorry... I would give 10/1 for the odds though ...

Don't presume that SPD cannot also become a zombie company at a later date.. their debt has increased and they are taking on distressed companies.. it would only take a drop in revenue or increased overheads for SPD to get into trouble itself... I guess this is one factor that MA is weighing up - how much extra debt can SPD take on .. so any bid probably will go down the ************** route.. imo

I disagree because no one should be allowed to invest if they do so on the comments on here. It should always be used as a tool as part of overall research. Of course some posters obviously do think it makes a difference. Perhaps for the odd poster but not 99% of us here

Franalex, to be fair events have changed over the last month. MA may now might a bid and the share listing may be wiped out due to the refinancing. Neither was confirmed a while back so Pearls and others had every right to give their opinions especially as shareholders ..

You post so often you can't even remember what you say. 22:39 last night.

Lol how can you ban someone on another website for posting on this website? He should be banned on here for sure making such childish threats. The guy is an attention seeker..No RNS. Chances of a bid less than 50% now imo

If I had any spare cash I would be adding like crazy. Two reasons 1) share price way below NAV 2) more bonds likely to convert at a premium in neat future imho

You should look at some of your ramping posts over the last few days before attacking others. You were selling first thing..then you told the thread you were still holding..now selling asap tomorrow. The funny thing is that you think anyone cares what you do .. they don't!

It's ok.. the thread is active enough.. you don't need to post every single minute of the day (!!) I presume you must be off work :-)) (or the boiler rooms are working overtime here)...

He has been after the business for years? No.. he... has .. not... SPD invested a while back - they never once made a bid.. the reason SPD started buying companies was due to the distressed state of the retail market - HoF a year ago and a few other acquisitions since.. SPD will be weighting up whether finding hundreds of millions for repaying the Debenhams debt is better than losing their investment. SPD debts have increased and eventually they will take on too many distressed companies and become distress themselves - unless they have their own massive rights issue. The longer this drags on the less likely it is that MA will bid - I doubt he will wait until the very last minute..

Just proves the directors need to go... Mad to sign up to these terms..should just go down the D4E route or take MA money ..

The retail sector is depressed .. just look at Bonmarche today - a low ball below share price takeover offer.. these guys don't feel the need to make premium bids - ok, MA did state 5p last week and he should honour it IF he goes ahead with a bid but but but .. he can make any offer he likes ..1p ..2p...5p..or higher .. he probably thinks he will get over 50% any way.. he also might not bid at all considering all the debt he will be taking on (at 12% interest rate according to one newspaper this morning).. best option might be to take part in the refinancing to maintain his 29.9% stake .. keep the shares listed.. and wait to see if the company recovers (he will benefit from his investment) or falls.. (he can buy it then in administration)... I don't see another party coming on the scene

I can't understand a) why anyone would sell such a large amount after this positive update and b) why the share price has not moved... it's unclear what news is needed here at the moment to lift the shares..

LOL yep 21000 posts at an average of 10 per day .. the other poster 8000 posts in 10 months at an average of 30 per day ... so who's spamming? I am simply making an observation that posting 20 times per hour non stop and disappearing will quickly get you a bad reputation on LSE - especially since these types of rampers are not bothered about the company or employees (as I know people working at Debenhams) .. they just want an quick buck - I just wish they will be honest about it!

Well Mega has gone personal and I never take it lying down. I traded this share but with money I could afford to lose. I just can't believ he rather side with an ultra ramper who appeared at the weekend and posted 50 times yesterday be Apparently has mad money invested here. At least until recently most of the comments have been rational about the merits of buying UI r shorting. Now the thread has been overtaken by the rampers. it didn't end well with IRV or Flybe and tbh it rarely ever ends well

Who do I think I am? Someone who has been in LSE for years and can't stand the DAY TRADERS who appear and disappear within 1-2 days ramping like crazy with stupid share price targets and telling us this got £50k in this because it's suppose to make others think this is a guaranteed one way bet. It is not - and I don't mind anyone saying they are in or shorting but some honestly on one's agendas would do this website a service. So Mega that's who I am - ok?!!
