How will COH and Snack Attack split the loot they make. Mr Worthington is slow slow with his RNS, while shareholders panic and sell.
Meanwhile here is some more---competitive---news to worry about AS PRIME SITES BECOME LIKE ROCKING HORSE POOOHHH:-
May 22, Coffee Republic, one of the best-known coffee chains in the UK, has closed a master franchise contract with Kruss Holdings, which operates in Romanian real estate and retail, with a view to entering the local market.
Coffee Republic, one of the best-known coffee chains in the UK, has closed a master franchise contract with Kruss Holdings, which operates in Romanian real estate and retail, with a view to entering the local market. The agreement would allow Kruss Holdings to open both coffee shops in Romania, and to grant franchise rights to other operators, reads the Internet publication TMCnet.com. "Romania's recent accession to the European Union gives us confidence that we can benefit from an expected sustained economic growth," said Salim Thava, CEO of Kruss Holdings. A third such transaction for the British company, the sale of the Coffee Republic franchise rights for Romania, is part of the strategy of the British company to concentrate on developing Eastern European markets.
The company's first international franchise will be opened in Bulgaria in July of this year. Numerous international coffee shop operators have rushed onto the local market over the past year. Costa Cafe, another British chain, entered the local market at the end of 2006, Starbucks opened its first coffee shop in Eastern Europe, in Bucharest, a month ago, and the opening of a Hard Rock cafe, held by an American chain, is projected to take place in the second half of this year.

Problem is Adie, by squelching Thrush you are unable to counter his increasingly desperate posts whcih I'm afraid are interlaced with more and more lies. I'm sure the loss of 3 EMPIK coffee outlets must come as a grevious blow to COH management - oh dear, disaster strikes and of course the market agrees because the SP is sinking like a stone. Err not, silly me, it seems to be going up!
Apparently according to Thrush, shareholders are panicking and selling, of course this is obvious from the performance of the SP which is sinking like a stone. Err not, seems to be up a touch again today.
Now where's that village telephone number, they really must want their idiot back - LoL

Been going on for some time ptholden and he won't go away... we've exposed him for what he is and most people would have got the message and gone away... For the sake of the thread would ask people to sqelch him. We as investors are happy with what's happened so far lets hope (well its more than hope most of us have done some research)... more...

Come come came gentlemen you insane remarks prompts a reply.
Firsly show me just one, just one lie, even an itsybitsy little white lie that I have ever posted about COH---there as none so you cant.
For the SP of COH to be rising it would have to be over 50p, past its last high.
COH should be shaking over the loss of EMPIK outlets as EMPIK will now not stand still, and therefore its not about the three stores that COH lost, it is, as any asute business person would tell you, all about the ones they will not be getting.
As for the panic selling well over 400000 sold today.
So Adieh YOU HAVE EXPOSED ME FOR WHAT I AM---WELL SIR PLEASE TELL US OF YOUR EXPOSE CERTAINLY YOU ARE NOT GOMNG TO CALL ME A RAMPER OF COH---ARE YOU?
So pthy where exactly are the lies? I note you have a propensity of going quiet when cornered.

Actually Thrush I have a propensity for ignoring you mostly. Generally speaking you are not worth the trouble of a debate, mainly because your agenda is clear and nothing I or others say will make you see any kind of common sense. You are obviously quite demented where Worthington is concerned, which I have to say keeps me quite amused.
Anyway, your latest lies concerns the 'panic selling'. Please let me know where you arrive at the figure of 400,000 sold today, now be careful, because you may well make yourself look rather stupid here. Incidentally, using your logic, there were some 361,000 buys, does that constitute panic buying?
By the way, did you once post as 'Jim10b' on another BB? Seems some think you have, oh and 'Waxman' seems to have cropped up as well.

Pthy for someone who wishes to ignore me you are doing rather well.
My agenda is indeed clear and open, primarily it was to stop the rampings of Adieh NOW A SECOND APPROACH HAS DEVELOPED THAT BEING, AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY SO, TO ADVISE ALL OF THE FOLLIES OF PUTTING CASH INTO COH---IT REALLY IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
Give today's rather silly post of the other arc- ramper BMW, you would have expected COH to have finished on its high---However, I was the only one, yet again to advise care, stating that it will fall------ and fall it did.
Not bad for someone who knows nothing.
I take all my buy and sell figures off -------------ADVFN, AND ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS DEAD ON, TEND TO AFFORD ONE A GOOD IDEA OF THE BASICS OF TRADES DURING THE DAY.
As previously advised, I do not post on any other BBs, I never have, just here and I have been a member for years, why not ask Ian- I never posted here in the past being, as I was, just content read untill----I GOT BLOODY FED UP OF ADIEh AND HIS CONTINOUS RAMPINGS.
LOOK BACK TO MY FIRST POST AND SEE.
THEN I SIMPLY ASKED HIM TO LET THE SP do the talking. regrettably he did not initially have the sense to want to so but seems to have mellowed now but somewhat tardily---and so here we are, constantly locked in a futile debate---as you ca not win!
I still see very troubled times ahead for COH and I believe that should they come back again to the market for cash it will not be a case of third time lucky.
The recent events and increasing competition would indicate that the game is up for COH and it will never fulfill the dreams of its shareholders.
In other words it missed the boat.

Thrush
I do think this will have to be my last response to you, because clearly you are a total loon.
COH finished up today 0.75p, so no it didn't fall. Please don't trot out that fatuous argument that it fell because it didn't exceed its 50p high, that really is the rambling of a totally deranged idiot; and yes, you know nothing. We have already agreed that statement.
Missed the boat? Anyone who bought in just 18 months ago and sold at the 50p high would have netted a four bagger. That particular investment would have floated my boat, I can assure you! I understand you sold at quite a loss, it explains your bitterness.

Again you have it wrong COH finished of its high of the day by .25 as market sentiment moved against it.
I have never own COH shares why on earth did you think that.
I am not interested in those who have made money from COH good luck to them. I am concerned for the poor Bs who bought at 50p many on the persistant rampings of ADIEH.
Please make it you last reply as you will end up eating crow over this share---It only as one way to go now and thats down.
There are far more safer punts than COH-
I can not be a total loon as I am not in COH so lets settle for a part loon,
TA TA pthy-

As we could not hold a significant stake in the target and influence the companys management, we decided to abandon the investment.
As a holder I see that as a positive sign. If my memory serves me right I don't believe EMPIK are doing that well the last time I looked.
I was never enthused by the thought of coffeeheaven bars within EMPIK stores anyway.
Why would COH want EMPIK to try and run the show anyway? I'm currently showing an increase on my investment of over 151% and I got in late.
No matter what certain people may try to post, RW has delivered for most investors that have researched this company time and time again.
Buying shares is all about timing. I still believe those that bought at the top will still be rewarded if they stick with the company.
This is my last response to you and you really are free to spout whatever rubbish you want.
YOU ARE SQUELCHED.

Good morning gentlemen one and all.
I see its down today just as I said it would be.
So much for the pathetic rampings of BMW.
So I see that COH IS NOW FORCED INTO GIVING ITS COFFEE AWAY----CAN'T BE THAT BAD SURELY.
And again some say EMPIK wanted to to rule COH through having a bigger say---or could it be they could see where COH was going wrong----always two sides to the coin.
Now EMPIK will have the opportunity to prove itself as coffee retailers---if they do less of a market for COH---bad move there Mr W AS YOU LET THE COMPETITION KNOW YOUR STYLE!!!!!!------so time will tell.
Whatever--it all does not look that rosy for COH.
Please all of you COHers squelch me as you dont know whats going on in any event.
The trend as I said is down and down passed 30p.

I have long been claiming that Mr W as lost the plot, missed the boat, and has poor managerial skills etc etc.
Furthermore, with little in profit and two cash calls behind him, and his shareholders riding high on an inflated and almost valueless SP still back him.
I warned of the folly of this as COH is coming down with a bang and now is the time to get out.
Here we have a man Mr Alistair Williswith who just pocket money, not only showing Worthington the way to do it, but now also muscling in on COH.
Take a read its good stuff and proof that Worthingtom is happy to lash out shareholder's funds on over priced leaseholds.
I take my hat off to Mr Alistair Willis as this is the way to make money.

Not even your rampings can save it now. Mr Alistair Willis, fine bright, upstanding man that he is, has shown Worthington in a true light.
