MKS have the benefit of a successful food division.
If this CEO is unable to turn around non food, then probably no one can.

steak option very nice and decent key lime pie.

Their Tarte Tatin, not in the offer, is bloody moorish,
particularly with a portion of vanilla ice cream.

How do you know property is going to be sold?

[philanderer] 23/9/2016 13:52

Happy to see it hold around 320p until Rowe announces a bunch of property disposals.

[larva] 22/9/2016 15:35

What I am saying that you may disagree with since he took over the helm of MKS.
The market cap of MKS has dropped by 2 billion pounds that is a very large pile of cash.

[diku] 22/9/2016 14:26

If you disagree just say you disagree...not the other way round...

[qantas] 22/9/2016 10:03

diku you really are a diku arn't you.

[diku] 22/9/2016 09:42

But Rowe has no control over the share price...its the casino markets that control the share price (HFT)...this is how good company share prices are destroyed...ever since the tech boom & bust of 2000 the casino mentality has just got bigger & worse...

[qantas] 22/9/2016 08:31

Since Rowe's promotion he has lost shareholders 2 billion pounds in share holder value...

Not very good show you what the institutions think of him.
