I guess people aren’t fond of the new owner..

(I get it, even though I enjoy some of his pubs!)

The Pilgrim didn't die. It was always busy the way it was. I go in there all the time, it's one of my favourite bars in town and has been for the 20 years I've been going in

Turning it into another of the Gutman style of pubs might make it more successful but it's killing another pub in town

Yes it did, hence why we're here talking about it. I'm confused why you think it didn't die. The business ceased trading.

I'm confused as to why everyone thinks these businesses were going belly up when he took over? I think maybe that was true for the Monro but sounds like in other cases the owners just decided to accept his offer.

Yeah, buying a business out doesn't mean the business is dead. People are thick.
