	Divorce makes sense for Coles and Myer - Stephen Bartholomeusz - Opinion
		The difficulty for Myer is that, within the Coles Myer portfolio are divisions — food and liquor, Target and Officeworks —; that return more than 30 per cent on the capital the group has tied up in them.
		Myer probably isn't in quite as good a shape as Debenhams was when the private equity players bought it but, while that adds some risk, it also adds upside because of the potential for an acceleration of its turnaround if capital and focus is brought to bear.
		Coles wouldn't have announced a formal review or detailed its options for dealing with Myer so specifically unless it were confident it could deal with the landlords.
