Mike Ashley


Christmas Tree

Recommended Posts

Sports Direct shares have taken a hammering today, down nearly 9%. NUFC won't be MA's focus right now.

 

Oh, it really will be, for the 'club' is his £180,000,000 cashpoint for next season if we stay up.

 

SD are not tanking, but they are struggling, and cash from the 'club' is a real godsend for the Slug to support the rest of his businesses (plus the £25m/yr free advertising)

 

He's had us for about half-a-billion to date.

SD only gets 10% from its revenue of online sales, compared to 40% for John Lewis according to this. Surprised by that. Also surprised to see JD Sports has been outperforming them lately. Could his luck be turning?

 

Apparently Ashley messed up with online sales when he added a delivery charge to your order even when you pick it up in store, he was advised not to do it but did it anyway

But on the other hand it does at least back up all of your previous statements about what a shitcunt he is. Glass half full and all that.

That's a hit and a half.

 

Ashley sold £200m worth of shares last year. I imagine he'll see this slump in value as an opportunity to increase his shareholding again, as he has done very successfully in the past.

What? :spit:

 

I can only assume you have never bought anything online. It's not normally more expensive to order online and collect than it is to go into the shop and buy it offline, which it sounds like he's doing.

Saw that mentioned on a 'deals' website I use, before christmas. SD.com charged £4 or £5 delivery to click and collect from store, but then gave you a £5 voucher to spend instore... so he clearly hoped people would then go back and buy stuff in one of his jumble sales.
