Dave Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yet more moolah for Mr Ashley. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-2176098/Mike-Ashleys-Sports-Direct-scores-JJB-misses-target.html Newcastle United football club owner Mike Ashley's Sports Direct scores as JJB misses target By Roger Baird PUBLISHED: 21:59, 19 July 2012 | UPDATED: 21:59, 19 July 2012 The contrasting state of the High Street was highlighted when Sports Direct posted a jump in profits while sportswear rival JJB appealed to investors for cash. Sports Direct, which is controlled by billionaire Newcastle United football club owner Mike Ashley, pictured, reported pre-tax profits up 24 per cent to £151.5m for the 53 weeks to the end of April. Despite the gloomy economic climate the country’s largest sportswear chain saw sales grow 7.9 per cent to £1.2bn at its 400 stores. The business, which also owns the Slazenger and Dunlop brands, said its online sales rocketed 82 per cent to £174m. Boss Dave Forsey said the group had not paid a dividend since 2009, and would not pay one this year. Forsey said the firm wanted the cash to maintain its ‘investment flexibility’ to allow it to open more UK and European outlets. Ashley, who owns over two thirds of the business, is set to earn £24m, if the business continues to beat annual profit targets that run to 2015. Sports Direct said 2,000 workers would earn around £50,000 over the next two years as part of company’s bonus scheme. By contrast JJB said poor trading from lacklustre Euro 2012 football finals and rainy weather caused sales to tumble 8.7 per cent in the 24 weeks to the middle of July. The retailer, which has 180 stores, said it had opened talks with key investors that includes larger US rival Dick’s Sporting Goods to raise additional cash. In April JJB received £30m from the same group of shareholders and suppliers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 "Against this background, the 'Maestrito', elegant as ever, waited after training to call Mark Cook to one side. Solano started to talk, in fluent English, gesturing and pointing out the mistakes made by Cook explaining they can't happen again. While Solano spoke, Cook listened attentively, shaking his head and accepting his mistakes." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Evening lads, Having put it off for a couple of years, have finally bitten the bullet and decided to start up my own blog. Apologies in advance for the amateur format, but I am just getting to grips with it and want to see how long I retain interest before investing a significant amount of time/money in it. Anyway would be great if some of you could take a look and even better if you fancy leaving a comment or two! http://ifsholascores.wordpress.com/ Apologies in advance if you see any obvious N-O-isms!
