Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan
Darth Crooks replied to Kaizero's topic in Football
Depends on what kind of man he is, he would never cut him loose because he can’t financially. If he was a true friend though he must surely be telling him, Mike, ge rid of NUFC. Doing that would relegate him and his business dealings back to the pages of the FT and rooms of courts and make him in red top parlance, yesterday’s fish and chips wrapping paper. Yesterday’s news! If his PR is anything to go by he’s a fossil in waiting anyway. -

Thing is who does he think he's going to poach customers from? The same people who go to these stores aren't the same as sports direct. Treat them the same and like NUFC, you'll just wreck them. People shop online or stick with market leaders like John Lewis or Robert Dyas where they don't get taken for mugs. I appreciate the high st in general is on it's arse - JLP included. The highstreet isn’t on it’s arse, the high street in it’s current incarnation is. John Lewis would work so well if they just updated their stores a bit and made it easier to navigate. The same for Fenwicks. Retailers just haven’t moved on and made it so the internet compliments their stores and have just let Amazon overtake them. It’s massively on its arse - John Lewis are the market leaders and just announced 99% drops in pre tax profit and they are quite strong in terms of both online and store experience imo. They also have a very loyal customer base and they’ve lost out because they have a generous price match scheme. They’ll recover and they won’t lose out to some bastardised vest is in of Debenhams/hoF however. The white city JL is prototyping a store experience a bit like going into a cocktail bar for diffferent products to enhance store experience with hopes of rolling out further. Fuck will mike be up for that. -

Can see Bishop cutting loose tbh. Bloke's too much of loose unit to try and peddle bullshit for. Dangerous for the PR man to become the story when you're in PR and it's not working anyway. -
Agreed. He also says dog dirt which is really funny.

True entrepreneur. Fuckwit. -
Doesn't bother me but I can see why people are opposed to a swastika being posted on a football forum, context noted.

Why would he cut ties here if that happened? It’s just a hope -

The hope would be he creates a HOF/Debenhams megastore chain and decides to cut his ties here. -

He lies about turning up to his own company meetings. Bit of a biggie to believe at face value. -

Ashley has just walked in

We report the neglect of the team and money does get spent. Filters the way down.

A few in the lobby as I walked past. Nothing outside. Guess that’s our representation? I’m a bit reluctant to stand on my own like. United anonymity and all that. Might snap what I’ve printed out as a show of support.

They are just verbal clickbait merchants. Just a shame so many listen.
