Mark, how about the multiple retailers of Nicks immediate circle are so close to the big boys they possibly don't want to rock the boat in return for favourable deals or even better quiet rent reviews? |

Fit to be tied? > RE: Fit to be tied?
So your answer to my question is no Clive you still haven't convinced me. The Tie is not justifyable in todays world. Can you please expand more on why you think it is? The only element in your article that I see you ackknowledged is that letting PubCos be created in the first place was a bad idea. I don't beleive that all suppliers will simply use a telephone, even though the vast majority of sales people on the planet do. It certainly isn't justifyable to claim that assosiated costs will have to go up with the tenant footing the bill, those sales teams are already out there as are price comparison websites, and even if they do go up it will be reflected in the GP and therefore the divisible profit will have to come down to reflect that cost. I can't speak for Fair Pint but I think that what they are attempting is admirable. My guess is the reason they are gunning for the tie is that it is the only way to ensure PubCos act in a manner that befits their FTSE status. |
