I have noticed that their is a lot of rumour and problems surrounding the hares such as House of Fraser,large holding viz Baguar and co,W H Smith,poor results,and Matalan,and Woolworths,all with problems and possibly priced low enough for takeover predators to make a killing.This culd be by splitting or getting product mix etc right....
Any thoughts for the next takeover target?

Good point. Talk on other bulletin boards of WH SMith dropping are over egged. The Net asset value is good enough support ! And way before that price there would be a bid. I mean the results were bad, but they are still making a profit - even if it was a little dissappointing, have a healthy cashflow and alsohave a brand name deeply embodied in the UK conscious.

Next takeover target - I'll do some digging.
