British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s restaurants set to go into administration, putting up to 1,300 jobs at risk!

He’ll be alright though [emoji35]

What is your point?

I would imagine people have stopped eating shite, microwaved slop at his keenly priced restaurants because of Brexit, those racist gammon have a lot to answer for.

I feel sorry for the people who will lose their jobs whilst he dreams up his next cluster **** of a business plan!

Why is it a cluster **** of a business plan? Did you think it was that when things were going well? What should he have done - slowly wound down the business over time anyway?

Not surprised overpriced food just trading on his name to justify higher prices and customers can't be fooled all the time

Because Britain needed yet another chain over priced faux Italian eateries right?

He founded them 11 years ago. Was it a bad idea then? And still a bad idea when it was successful?

Why the angry face? If he hadn't taken the risk to set the business up, then all those people wouldn't have had jobs to lose in the first place.

Yes because 11 years later he’s failed and failed to make relevant changes.

I don't argue with that they got to big and struggled to adapt to changes in the market but they were a successful business for the first 8 years, so not sure it was a 'cluster **** of a business plan'

Whenever I ate in one of places I came away thinking it was just a mediocre chain with his name slapped on the front.

Very rarely take food back, but I had to at one of his. It was so bad they removed it from the menu.

That's the problem with restaurants. One bad experience and you never go back.

Hope the staff find new jobs.

He'd pumped in a lot of personal cash not long ago when it was looking in trouble.

I've only visited them once or twice, and not recently, but thought the food was pretty decent as chains go. Certainly a step above any of the other large Italian chains I've ever eaten in.

Any business that goes into administration is is a cluster **** of a business plan, surely?

Blimey, I'm not sure I get the hate for Oliver himself.

He's always struck me as a decent bloke who wants to do the right thing for others. He takes risks and has done well for himself.

I appreciate his tone and mannerisms won't suit everyone, but I'm not sure I could be wishing ill on him because of that.
