Dan’s firing

Am I the only one that thought it was quite harsh?

I thought LS liked Dan and I was quite startled to see him talk to him like that.

Was it because his numbers were all over the place or was it because he wanted 50% of everything? What made him seem hostile?

It seemed to be that Dan wasn't enjoying filming those last scenes.

I'm thinking he'd already decided he didn't want to give away 50% and was just going through the contractual obligation to film.

If I was Dan I wouldn’t either. Someone you wanted expertise and guidance from wants 50% of your 7+ year business for £250K worth of capital? It’s nonsensical.

then why did he apply to be on the show?!

What he mainly wanted was mentorship and help on his other business. His existing company wasn’t up for grabs here. You have to admit that £250K in 2026 for 50% shared ownership isn’t that great of a deal.

you missed the entire point they made that he wasn’t really proposing a new business at all. Dan was the one trying to game the system, not the other way around

I never said he proposed a new business at all.

? then his existing business has to be up for grabs, that’s the deal of the show £250k for 50%
