Just that I think it is an absolute given that something is going on here and that with the 3 parties at the level they are a deal will be done in terms of purchase of this company

100 per cent - the share price is ridiculous

I honestly think talks are going on right now

Povelson would be stupid not to strike and take this while so low

I truly believe this is happening

In time yes without a doubt, I’m just treating it as a pension now that will pay out in 5 or 6 years or whatever

Even stopped checking price every day

Just forget it and come back to a decent outcome when I’m 60 or whatever

Is Roberto not doing another of his sad day for asos posts 😂

It budged! Downwards 🤦‍♂️

I find it VErY odd that all my other stocks are up today by a decent amount, ASOS up over 4 per cent, THG 6 per cent, WH Smoth 9 per cent and others.

Yet debs which was always up and down like a yo-yo just won’t budge at 17.5

Been like this for weeks.

Something not right.

Bad move by Voleon increasing on Thursday !

Without a doubt

I am friends with Merv Metcalf on Facebook and was chatting. Yep it’s an absolute given. 100 per cent

I wish I had more funds to double down at this price.

Barker certainly is

I don’t think it’s about averaging

Something going on here

So Barker needs to go from 17 per cent to 21 per cent to make fully sure he and Povelson are over a combined 50 per cent to be certain of blocking Ashley

I’m convinced Barker is in cahoots with Povelson to stop Ashley getting this on the cheap

Yep, as predicted

RNS out

And I bet he’s accumulating more today.

3 big players here and something is clearly brewing. Great stuff.

Currently up 16 per cent on the week

As well as the Shore Capital ‘Buy’ rating earlier, these also came through today:

Adam Cochrane from Deutsche Bank retains his positive opinion on the stock with a Buy rating. The target price continues to be set at GBX 375.

Analyst Anne Critchlow from Berenberg research considers the stock attractive and recommends it with a Buy rating. The target price is still set at GBX 600.

Yep despite inevitable profit taking I would imagine.

Very strong

Hopefully an RNS tomorrow

I wasn’t expecting this finish at 5 past 8 this morning!

And all other stocks seemed to tank today.

It would be nice at some point tomorrow to get an RNS of barker buying more to take this even higher

I don’t think Ashley or Povelson can buy any more without having to make a formal bid

The database of customers info and habits is worth a fortune alone.

It’s a juggernaut and 3 big players involved here.

I think Reardon could be right.

Powering up now and also now in auction as I type

Wonder if Barker is topping up?….

I agree Reardon I think Dan Finley has done far more over at Debs.

I would feel more confident of a takeover bid there.

Mind you this has turned quite positive after the investor call on a day that is otherwise a complete sea of red.

Anyone see the call?

Katie Cousins, analyst at Shore Capital, said: "We have been pleased to see margin progress continue during the first half, and the increasing sell-through rates, speed-to-market and reduced return rates are encouraging for customer satisfaction and provide evidence of management executing its strategy as planned.

"We continue to view the stabilisation of GMV as a key component of the investment thesis, noting progress in the right direction particularly within core regions such as the UK, and look for sustained profitability to support the now much-improved balance sheet."
