Even though I hold there is short term challenges for Foot. Just because JD have got a 29% stake it doesn't mean everything is perfect. We will post a loss this year and our margins have to improve else the sp will collapse. JD know there is upside here but it will take time (5 years) to get us to their level.

Everyone on this board need a reality check if they think this is going to £1 this year. Why would it just because JD have acquired a stake, give me a break.

Fundamentals aren't great atm but will improve in the long term and that's why I am invested. 5 years plus Foot could do revenues in excess of £1bn however it will require significantly more capex and this should come from retained earnings however, we don't have any atm.

I am extremely confident we are going to 30p again but I could be wrong. As always dyor.

Factors to take into consideration:
- Is our market cap justified at these levels?
- Will JD buy out foot?
- How will foot obtaining funding for expansion (debt/equity)?
- Can they improve on margins going forward?

Answer the following as honestly as possible and you'll see why I think we will go back to 30p. You must remove emotion from investing. What are the facts saying. That's how to judge your investments, not on takeover rumours. Use PBT, Revenue, Bal sheet etc to judge.

Not all positive as we are still going to post a loss this year. Our margins have been annihilated this year. We will do well in revenue terms but profit will be non existent.

I was reading through JD's annual report yesterday and imo it is a world class company. They haven't even touched the US market yet so if they did pursue this, they could easily add 25% to their top line. Balance sheet is very solid also.

I was really hoping Foot could reach this potential but not now as JD the plonkers have acquired 30% so they will have a big say in how this company moves forward. Such a shame JD acquired a big stake in us!

I just had a quick glance at Quiz' balance sheet and it's bullet proof. We virtually no debt at all. I wouldn't even mind a bank loan of say £5-10m so we can push international expansion. Saying that, we can use our cash reserves to do that. This is so cheap it's unreal!

Let's see what happens next week Friday. I am 90% sure we go back to 30p.

The reason why JD will buy up to 29.9%, is because there revenues have peaked for now. They need additional revenues and profits to flow through their p&l and they have big cash reserves so it makes strategic sense to INVEST (not buy) in Foot. JD will do the same with other investments also.

I can see them wanting monopoly status in the retail sector so Quiz/Foot and others represent superb value in this undervalued retail market. That's why they're investing! Why own the whole company when you have to pay big premiums! Just buy significant stakes (i.e. up to 30%).

Owners don't seem to realise that Debs is a big problem for us. We need to get out of there as soon as possible. In the long term our international and online revenues will compensate for this.

We've heard all this before. I can sell this amount but can only buy this much. It means nothing whatsoever. There will be another seller then more shares are available to buy.

I genuinely can't believe people on this board are this delusional and think this is going to £1. It does make me chuckle.

I'm still holding but I know for a fact this will never go to £1. Max I would say is 75p.

When it goes to 30p, I'll be buying again. Gl all.

They haven't really. The sp has just dropped 15-20% exactly as I said it would. Next week back to 35p. The exciting stuff has already happened.

Are you another Draft. Clueless comments. So he'd pay £200-300m for a company that is struggling to turn a profit. Ok mate.

How can you value a company at that level. Earnings would need to be £15-20m. MA isn't touching this and it's a fact. Stop reading analyst nonsense.

This will go to 30p over next few weeks if Foot don't announce anything.

JD just need to hurry up and buy the business or acquire up to 29.9% ad they stated. With Pentland now in the mix, it's making me nervous. To reiterate MA wouldn't touch Foot. He won't have £100m to buy foot, let's be clear on that. Who ever made this nonsense up is causing unnecessary rumour.

Can you buy some Foot please, so there's none left for JD haha. Bargain prices for Quiz. Let's hope the Board have plans for Debs that is what's stopping this hitting £1 imho.

MA is not going to bid for Foot, that's the most ridiculous statement I've heard. This is JDs for the taking now. MA is not going to pay £100m to acquire Foot. JD have big cash reserves and makes strategic sense for them to acquire.

Shares will be 10% down today given uncertainty. Foot need to release a RNS and quickly! Markets hate uncertainty.

Does it look like a bit order that needs filling? Mms are so sneaky.

I wouldn't be surprised, he seems to be clueless. Draft arw you even holding shares here? You do make me laugh with your nonsense.

If we do £5m in profit, I'd be delighted. Online sales is absolutely crucial to hit that number as we have higher margins through this revenue stream.

Draft you plonker, there is loads of uncertainty. What will JD do next, what will mms do once jd have their holding. What will family do, sell up or keep foot going.

Foot need to put out an rns to give market reassurance. You've got JD and another party buying. Give us clarity else we go down to 40p. Period.

I'm deramping, markets don't like uncertainty. Fact. Hence why it willl be down 10-20%. Retrace is needed, the shares not going to go up in a straight line guys. Clueless.

I think sp will fall 10-20% today. MMs will try to shake out pi's. Hold the shares! Good luck all.

There can't be many left. Shares are getting swooped up by JD. For every big seller, there will be a buyer. I can guarantee that there will be massive swings but the fundamentals of this company remain good. Jd or who ever acquires it, will reap some serious synergies.

Jd know that foot is a threat so hence why they've taken a big position. I think we may even go to 40p but I'm not selling.
