Well known gambler/investor/womaniser Harry 'monkey' O'Reilly is rumoured to be taking a very large position here today. If your broker phones asking you if you want to sell you know who is on the other side of the phone so make him pay as he has plenty of money after years of successful investing.

YET ANOTHER CITY PUMP AND DUMP

Why not value enhancing for shareholders?

They ll own a share in the opco/propco wont they ?

So how can it be a steal for one and not the other ?

Do you want to explain your outrageously bad reasoning ?

Next stop should be that the current board who have made a complete mess of a good company, with good assets in property and middle management should go.
MAB had assets of £4.8b now with a market cap of below £1b. They have capitulated with R20 pulling the strings, albeit the strings are starting to snap. OPCO/PROPCO with be a steal for R20, but not value enhancing for the shareholders

[fxdealer3] 01/7/2008 14:43

next stop sub £1 .

Not invested as blew all my money on Bdev and TW. However, curious, why beyound general stock market malaise and no smoking ban that this stock is so low ? Any thoughts ?

[careful] 18/6/2008 17:11

[ronnie73] 12/6/2008 12:33

232p now - yes what a crash! surprised media have not gone on about how bad these mkts are except for oil and mining shares.

[careful] 09/6/2008 10:13

another terrible day.
mab are not alone
amazing how so many shares have collapsed by 60% or more over the last 12 months.
this is a severe crash comparable to the worst in history.

[ronnie73] 06/6/2008 10:09

Looking rather unloved again, time to tip my toe in I think. some great assets that have excellent cash flow, the poorer people get the more they will drink. This one and JDW look like great value! Gone long at 289p.

looking ahead, the demise of the country pub is very sad, but in the long run very good for the likes of M&b.
