But on the other hand, if we manage to get more / better free trade deals around the world then the prices could come down on many products, So the retailers could see sales rise.
We all know the worlds NOT going to end it's 50 /50 at this stage so why not look on the bright side rather than the negative all the time.
This looks like the turn of the year 2000 all over again.

Going by past actions a placing would have been my first thought, after all what's another placing to keep vog a float.
There must still be more suckers out there to fall into his trap who believe what he says.
After all it's such a lovely future out there with some 60 customers still just waiting for our gas, and so many power plants that need servicing . Must be 40 m - 60m scffs a day up for grabs.

WHAT A LOT OF TOSH !!!!!
This has nothing to do with brexit, you must be a re-moaner. Still !!!!!
It's only about people wanting to spend their money on things they like, if the right products are there and at the right price then people will buy them.
The high street has been changing over the last 50 years, but we are still spending more overall than we were 50 years ago and that will continue in some form.
The shorters have done their best over the last 2-3-6 months and debs is still here, so lets just wait for the results in about 2 weeks and see what's really going on, but 15p-20 is not out of question by Christmas in my view.

ever going to happen?
It's been what 6-7 weeks since Foo said the new eneo contract would be coiming on line in about 2 weeks.
So was that just a lie, or a comment to keep the shareholders tied in until the BOD 's decides what to do next.
What about the nw CNG partnership with the Turkish company that was meant to be up and running in the 1st Qtr, surely that partnership needs some funding from vog but without any money or more lending how does that go ahead.
After about 8 years and £73k , do I / we just walk away before we go pop or just hang on a little longer knowing that if the eneo contract does come through then the sp will shoot up to what about 70p-80p.
Questions,Questions.

Don't worry and carm down, doom and gloom will be back by end of play today.

Sorry but I think the E I T Room is an agreed placing and open offer at 10p for 1.2b shares ( 1 for 1)
Then a consolidation x 10 bringing debt down by £100m and a share price of £1, ontop of the £150 m asset sale and blow me down we have only approx debt of £100m and a steady ship. Could all be announced with results.
Job done. !!!!!!!

OK so you don’t sound like a believer in anything, are you a member of the Raving loony party or what?. What about telling us some of your suggestions to get out of this.

Yes I was trying to give like for like. But if you like this
Full year rev 2018 was £931m with debt of £462m
So Half year rev £475m again half year Debt of £458m is much worse.

of 11m

What winds me up is posters coming on here giving it all about what they know and trying to tell other posters they have just bought certain shares and making money when clearly they say these sort of things to try and look as if they know what they are doing and try to make others feel they don't and missing out.
It's so easy to catch posters out on their remarks, so if you come back again Poker , what about being on holiday and not stuck to a screen ?.

Anyway talking about Spire, why would you buy into spire when they have total rev at £475m and Debt at £458m plus a divi of 1.3p this should be much lower.
They are much worse than debs and still paying a divi.
Surely you would be better selling them now while you have a chance, if you bought them to start with.

But with total rev at £475m and Debt at £458m plus a divi of 1.3p this should be much lower.

So where are you on holiday? east and ahead of time 10.30+ am or West and 5-6 hrs behind time 4am.
Or at home.?
If you come back to this then maybe you are on Hols at home in UK . Just asking !!!!!!!!! Maybe fantasy holidays as well.

Funny that, I saw your post / comment on Spire first thing today and you sounded surprised that the price had dropped so much but said you thought it would go down more, but you didn't say you bought.
The sp did touch £1.33 for a few minutes but then started to move up on a little bounce but could still go down past £1.33 again today the way things are going.
Very strange that you say you bought at £1.33 now that it's starting to go up. Are you trying to make us think you know what you are doing and we don't. or is this another fantasy buy?

So you couldn't buy a house back in 1982, If I remember correctly house prices around the country were from about £25k to £30k in the southeast, I know because I bought my house a semi 3 bedroom house for £25k, ok it was a bit higher in London buy much lower in the north etc.
Did you not have a job then or were you too young.
Stop harping on , all we can do isour best and make the most of the time we have, there is always going to be winners and losers. Luck does play it's part but we all have to work to make luck happen.

I believe that Debs already has some 20 % - 30% of total sales online, so ahead of the game for department stores.

WATFORD, England, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The boss of Britain's Debenhams came out fighting on Monday, saying the department store chain's troubles had been exaggerated and insisting the business has a future.
Last week the firm rushed out a trading statement to say it would make analysts' profit forecasts for the 2017-18 year and denied it was planning mass store closures in its 166-store UK estate.
"There's a lot of noise right now in the press about the health of the company," Chief Executive Sergio Bucher told reporters at a capital markets event held at Debenhams new store in Watford, north of London.
He said the retailer has "a strong foundation" with 19 million customers, a 97 percent brand awareness, is growing online sales faster than the overall market, has annual turnover of 3 billion pounds ($3.94 billion) and is profitable.
He said Debenhams would provide more details on its options to strengthen its balance sheet when it publishes annual results on Oct. 25. It has forecast year-end net debt of about 320 million pounds, which compares to Debenhams' current equity market capitalisation of about 121 million pounds.
He has closed two of 10 stores identified for closure, wants to downsize 30 others and renegotiate leases and rents on 25 stores up for renewal over the next five years. He has also cut costs and refinanced.
The Watford store represents Bucher's "vision of the future" for Debenhams, with an enhanced beauty hall, curated fashion ranges and more customer services, such as personal shopping, all integrated with the firm's digital offer.

But if Debs announce some asset sales then they will pay a divi and reduce debt.

Debs point of view.

I expect. MA to want a divi to be paid, with some 300 +m shares he could do with the divi + if it then helped debs to go under that would play into his arms to buy it out of admin.
But from beds point of view they would love to pay a divi just to prove all the press wrong.
