Anybody know what happened to Jack Daniel and his Shareholder campaign.
Seems to have gone very quite.............

talked so much but said so little!

You should've given me a ring. I'm sure J would have let you have his copy of News of the Screws.

[jeffmack] 09/9/2002 08:36

Hilary
Wanted to buy the News of the World but they run out, so had to make do with the Express. Dont have time to read those "BIG" papers on Sunday's

[hilary] 09/9/2002 08:34

I see you're reading quality broadsheets now, Jeff.

:-)

[jeffmack] 09/9/2002 08:31

If you can get a copy of the Sunday Express, story of the demise of SWD

[maurice2] 06/9/2002 11:05

and that the sale was not shown until after close! Ah - feel much better now.

[maurice2] 06/9/2002 11:01

What really grates with me was that I heard somewhere that Valerie Deufetrelle (excuse the spelling) seemingly disposed of 1.2 million shares just before close on the last day of trading. It sounds like sour grapes on my part I know, but it really p....s me off. Just an opinion.

[evolution6] 06/9/2002 10:04

I was led to believe it all went into that fool Primrose's pocket!

[dixi] 06/9/2002 10:02

Well not the company 'cos we are dealing shares on a secondary market - not like a rights or share offer where cash goes to company.

So for those that made a profit they've had some, I guess the market makers will have had a bit too. As for the value of shares on day of suspension - well they have no value. Where does the money go when your car depreciates? Similar scenario I guess.

Cheers.

(just been here too after long time off)

And who is running the new popstars jobbie then??

My first visit for ages to this thread. Forgot about this one,
maybe it was my sub-conscious forcing me to forget.

What can I say?
There is so much anger out there over this one, but everyone is helpless and the ex-directors are laughing their socks off.
I suppose to do anything now would be futile, or as the old Liverpool saying has it: "like farting against thunder".

Money down the drain. Or is that into other people's pockets. The loot must have gone somewhere.

Anybody any idea where your cash goes when a company goes belly up?
After all, it is real money. It must go somewhere.

Has Sportworld been wound up? Until that happens there is hope but not much.

[philwalker36] 31/8/2002 00:47

is that it then

[steddieddie] 17/8/2002 22:04

No room for optimism, I'm afraid. The fat lady has sung!

Had a letter last week from City Deal Services saying this:

"Further to recent information received from the administrator, it should be noted that at this stage it is already clear that there will be no return to shareholders."

Apart from the bits relating to my nominee holding, no further details were given but doesn't leave any room for hope, does it?

[crate] 09/8/2002 00:54

Ditto previous poster. Is there some reason for optimism!

[kamlani] 09/8/2002 00:43

Laney have you heard of a offer or something ? i have not heard anything yet.

[homewell] 08/8/2002 13:03

according to PWC, TAM are only one of several interested parties in buying up shares as they then can sell them off to other buyers hoping to pick up a quoted company listed on the FTSE without much of the hassle. Great idea, but not sure if it necessarily means a higher offer price for our shares. Mind you an advance of 0.1p can't be that hard if the broker has good reason to believe more may be looking for this quick fix.

[laney£] 08/8/2002 09:37

lets hope we get something substantial

[leeshindig] 06/8/2002 17:13

nice one.....

[buckers01] 06/8/2002 16:48

Just been notified by my broker that the tender offer has been rejected and therefore withdrawn. It will be interesting to see if they offer more now if they realy want/need them for some reason.

[veneto] 30/7/2002 20:00

I see they are doing a popstarz meets big brother series where the candidates have to live in a house together for a while.


This must be one of the greatest cons of all time,where the shareholders get nothing and the directors buy the co back for a song.
