Ritchie Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Mike Ashley Uncovered: An Inside Out Special Sunday, 22:25 on BBC One (North East & Cumbria only) He is the owner Newcastle United fans love to hate - but how does he make the money that bankrolls the club? A special Inside Out investigation traces the source of Mike Ashley's wealth. The programme follows the supply chain for his hugely successful Sports Direct empire that has placed him among some of Britain's richest entrepreneurs. It is a journey that leads to some of the world's poorest people working for just a pound a day. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qnvd1 Just saw an advert for this. Might be interesting..

madras Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i was hoping it may have been more on his deals, possibly dirty, ie price fixing etc but instead it appears to be the type of thing nike and gap have had against them to little effect.

TRon Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It's a disgrace really. Ashley's such a scumbag hiring cheap foreign labour instead of following the example of Britain's most successful retailers like Primark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 A snippet from the Daily Mail Mike Ashley's astonishing reign at Newcastle United certainly has more than enough material for a Panorama documentary — especially when you consider Terry Venables’ battles with Alan Sugar at Tottenham were deemed worthy of two Panorama specials. And it’s claimed that Beeb investigators have been asking Newcastle watchers about all aspects of the Ashley regime and whether they’re prepared to be interviewed. But a Panorama spokesman said yesterday there are no plans for a programme on Ashley.

Benwell Lad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Wonder if they're doing one on the Mackem Mafia. Nah. Every other football club owner, and indeed all billionaires in general, made their money from environmentally friendly, socially aware schemes. Fat Mike's the only one who's a c*nt and therefore the only one BBC can do a programme on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
