... and yet as recently as last Nov he was adding to the portfolio with the Isle of Man titles from JPR

Surprised he was never offered a non-exec role on JPR board.

Tindle put all their online content behind a paywall. Wonder how that has worked for them in terms of contributing to their bottom line (they are profitable...)

So he is...

Presumably he is not going to be active for that much longer, which poses some interesting questions...

Could CA and Tindle group combine forces to launch a takeover?

In past he said of JPR takeover 'it would be wonderful, but not possible'. At that point the company was capped at twice its current level.

The article by Hugh Sergeant is very optimistic and to many big IFs that still exist when time is running out.They have failed thus so far to make the new range of online platforms work for local businesses and have not halted the decline in sales. Cost cutting is all very well, until all you have left is managers that just manage!

Insigt into River and Mercantile buying strategy a few years ago:

A classic recovery stock
By Hugh Sergeant 02 Jul, 2014
A classic Recovery stock we are buying at the moment is Johnston Press. It is a top decile scoring stock in our MoneyPenny screen; with significant profit and cash flow recovery potential, a low valuation and a classic self-help story, including new management, cost cutting, and a very recent refinancing.

Johnston Press is a leading regional press business with strong local franchises. However, the company over-expanded during the good times, took on too much debt and has suffered over the last few years as its traditional newspaper business lost market share to on-line competition. In response, the company brought in a new management team who have re-positioned the company as a provider of local news and information across multiple media platforms including newspapers, on-line and now TV (through a venture with Sky). If a local company wants to build a local brand or advertise a local job or service, Johnston Press can provide them with multiple ways of reaching their audience. Through this re-positioning, the company has become more relevant to local advertisers which should enable them to grow their advertising sales after many years of decline. If sales grow, then profit recovery will be substantial as a huge amount of cost has been taken out of the business. Additionally as profits start to grow, cash will be thrown off further reducing debt. Higher profits and lower debt will be a magic formula for the equity, which we would expect to at least double from here.

old interview with Tindle...



As someone who made a success of regional newspaper business, CA would probably want to have him onside anyway

brando69

He's been on board almost 10 years, having bought 20% for £80m. JPR must be a massive disappointment for him. He's now 71. Hard not to imagine he wouldn't support CA in their bid to shake things up.

As for Ray Tindle, he's 82 now. His background is in regional newspapers. He's patiently backed the current regime over the years, but would imagine his patience has worn thin, not least as his investment, built up over the last decade will give him a big paper loss. Idea of CA being able to come up with a quickish fix must appeal.

Would guess Tatparandam would vote with CA. Doubt he's overly impressed with the way his investment is progressing

This is what was hoped for. So these CA need to convince the majority of these to force a change at the top:

Ananda Krishnan Tatparanandam / PanOcean Management Ltd 10.63%
River and Mercantile Asset Management LLP 9.48%
Artemis Investment Management LLP 6.43%
Sir Raymond Stanley Tindle 6.00%
Majedie Asset Management Limited 5.84%

I did state that CA would not be able to work with AH and CR. Reading the article any Shareholder or even anyone with a balanced view would have to 100 percent agree with CA. After the last restructuring did AH get around half a million in shares with the restructuring? - so CFO and CEO with the epic share price decline since are certainly not the peeps to negotiate with the the Bondholders this time around. The abject shareholder failure of AH and cohorts since 2011 - the start of his tenture is a total disgrace - it is time to get rid of the deadwood starting at the top. In addition of what AH has milked JPR it will cost another million to put him down the road. Depends on the other Institutional support in my view and who they will back - CA or AH and cohorts. That will be the key as to how long the battle will ensue and if CA win out in realising value for them and other Shareholders. Battle lines drawn - where will the loyalties and backing of the other Shareholders lie? I get the sense they will back AH - he did state that in the FT article a few months ago but interesting how events will unfold. If only we had the inside track eh? Without CA intervention I do firmly believe a share price of around 6 pence - so all shareholders have to hope CA win out with dogged determination - won most but not all as we all have no doubt. GL all

Indeed dazz. Your recognition of my significant accomplishment is all the reward I need. If I'd got it on the nose I would have deferred acceptance of your best brown ale or whatever it was that you had in mind, until we could share a celebratory round of drinks in the jpr heartland - happily that now excludes the Isle of Mann and East Anglia - having cashed in our winnings at the end of this long-running speculative adventure. Let's hope we've got something to show for it sometime this decade.

Yes eddy it certainly is and congratulations But I know you wont accept the first prize because it wasn't spot on but as you were the nearest by far it deserves your name being inscribed on the roll of merit this will be presented to you personally by myself when the share price reaches 35p.

I appreciate that you are really devastated that you missed the the target aimed for after spending hours studying the charts for this forecast and if you feel any sign of depression setting in I still have some little blue tablets available.

It has to go up by 1.5p to match my prediction.
I must admit yours seems more likely than mine - but who knows?
Still in with a shot.

yup dazz, the price at 16.25 at the close today is making me excited. Just need to drop 0.05p for my price prediction to be spot on exact. I might polish up the glassware...

We must be close to some news now folks, The meetings last/this week with CA, surely something on the Bond buyback front, Rothschild's findings.

Maybe they have some good news for us but are just wondering how to dampen it when it is released, If they cannot find a dampener then i guess they will have to go with a 4.31pm Rns tomorrow. . .
