Jackie Broon Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Doesn't this free advertising get classed as a benefit in kind by the Revenue and therefore he should be subject to tax? I thought that, but, there's a VAT exemption available for goods and services transferred between companies in the same group which he's probably taking advantage of.

bowlingcrofty Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 One thing I don't get is why its Sports Direct plastered around the ground for 90% of the time/available space. Everyone knows that if you want a pair of trainers you got to the Emporium of tat, so why not vary it up a bit and advertise his in store brands. Off the top of my head.... Kangol, Karrimor, Lonsdale, Firetrap, Dunlop, Slazenger - are all owned by MA or Sports direct - why not promote these brands rather than the roof they are sold under? It wouldn't have a single piece of impact on the finances of NUFC, but at least the stadium would show some variety, and you would think also drive benefits to our esteemed owner The exposure is diluted if it's not done in a gaudy manner.

EthiGeordie Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 one thing is certain saying get out of our club killed us. If we had good relationship with Ashley I doubt we have all this problem with Pardew. Also if I am Ashley why would I sack Pardew. A manager who take all the flack for me to make my enemies happy. I would be shocked and happy if sack Pardew but I give is less than 5 % chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's just so hard to predict Ashley. Under any normal regime Pardew is finished. Also the end of the season will complicate things, stopping protests etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Oldham close to record sponsorship deal that could see Boundary Park renamed. Oldham Athletic are on the verge of signing a significant sponsorship deal that could see Boundary Park renamed. M.E.N. Sport understands Latics officials are in advanced talks with sportswear giants Sports Direct over a five-year agreement. The blokes trying to take over the world starting one club at a time. Its obvious that the deal with NUFC and Rangers must be beneficial to him financially. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/oldham-boundary-park-renamed-sports-7030655 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 It does annoy me a little when something pretty big happens and someone comes on here days later and posts it as brand new information but something like this?

GeordieT Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have no doubt that Ashley and pals probably chucked in a pre-season friendly with us to sweeten any sponsorship deal. No coincidence that two of the three domestic sides we are playing have very clear links to Sports Direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He doesn't even have to do much. Just sack Pardew, get a manager for footballing reasons and sign players where we need and I think people would still go. Surely Charnley or even Carr are making him aware of this?

Varadi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ironically it could be that putting so much pressure on to sack Pardew has actually made his position more secure - we all know what a contrary twat Ashley likes to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Sad that the bulk of his rise us probably due to the huge amount of free advertising Sports Direct gets at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
