I’m starting to wonder if this is worth a punt now, over a month since it trebles, drifted all the way back down, no trading statement at AGM was a bit poor but all it’s suppliers are doing well, DFS license name and sales are way ahead of last year, ASOS, Next etc, it’s making me wonder...imho dyor

Well done csm. Took some more @ just over 6p this morning. Delayed trade just reported of 340k @ 5.6p hopefully signals the end of the dip for now.

Press reports state that Debenhams has appointed Hilco Capital, a firm that specialises in helping to wind down distressed retail businesses, to work with them should attempts to sell the historic department store end in failure. That will be the same Hilco who has recently provided FCCN with a financial lifeline.

ABBYNAT: I'm in the antique business. Why buy from IKEA which all ends in landfill when you can buy antique furniture/clothing from a local auction house cheaper than IKEA and when you are finished with it you can sell it again for a price higher than you paid for it (without adding to landfill).... If you think about it, the best thing everyone can do to help save the planet is invest in antiques - recycling is the future.

There is no money in the brand. It sells average stuff and always has done. A few clever play on words such as with the old movie "French connection" (Gene Hackman and Rod Scheider) and 'UK and FC' - all very 1990s. Where any money is NOW is the online furniture sales (household goods) and discount teenager clothing. If they can break into these two markets they are good to go. The name "french connection" is a bit naff for teens... I'd ditch it if I was them.

My buy was 400k shares in the end. Dunno which platform my broker put it through.

[abbynat] 29/7/2020 15:32

AWISE, very clever! see it on these boards everyday! i think its called colouring the waters! mind you i do agree, have taken a small punt myself. mine will be the price of a few dozen underpants, because you wouldn't risk your shirt on these!

[awise355] 29/7/2020 15:18

Hi I agree. Did your trade go through in. Another platform? Can't see it here

Hilco are restructuring specialists. FCCN looked like it might go bust at £5m mkt cap. Special situation. £15m new working capital facility. This has improved risk:reward considerably. I think this is now looking very good, as a special situation. Brand is valuable. Tiny mkt cap. I've bought another 500k shares today at 7p. It looks good at that level, IMO. Please DYOR. Regards, Paul.

They recently rejected a buy out at 60p a share, so they must be feeling very confident about the future.
