AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 He absolutely won this one.. Not even The Guardian does anything but focus on the "out of control" angle Yep, people have gone for it. On the radio last night they were talking about how honestly he came across and how he seemed like to be planning all the changes that were needed.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It's like when you've done something wrong at work or been slacking, nobody is brave enough to really criticise you so you get away with just saying what you'll do better next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 You don't get the success he has without being very competent at what you do. I'd imagine the persona of being a bloke you could have a decent chat at the pub with is a strong part of that success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the persona of being a bloke you could have a decent chat at the pub with is a strong part of that success. But it is possible to get it while still being a dick whose competence is limited to that certain set of skills and who isn't terribly bright overall.

NG32 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If I had that many employees working for me I'd feel totally responsible for their well being on site. You can't just sit on your arse and say "it grew to quick". No fat man, you penny pinching mother fucke, never put any proper staff support models or good practice in place. The fat fuck massively took advantage of the he poor and immigrant workers. You cant ust absolve your self of responsibility. Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I mean, he used agencies for the specific reason that it means he doesn't have to handle HR. The whole point is to pay a bit more to avoid the responsibility... it's crazy to think he cares about his staff in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Mike Ashley's businesses generated nearly £3bn of revenues during the year to April 2015 latest filings at Companies House have shown. The Newcastle United owner consolidates his business operations into MASH Holdings Ltd - a company in which he is the sole shareholder. Its financial statements were filed on 27 July 2016. Ashley took out further lending in May 2016 in the form of an overdraft of £50m with HSBC that was guaranteed by MASH Holdings. Ashley increased like for like revenues by nearly £450m. However profit before tax fell from £543m to £410m. The financial statements showed that the majority owner of Sports Direct consolidated his cash and lending positions. At the end of 2014 he had £380m cash against loans outstanding of £417m - the majority of which was due to be repaid within a year. This was restructured to cash of £180m and loans of £197m. Working capital investment increased with a £128m increase in debtors balances. The debtor balance was described in the financial statements as: “Unremitted sales receipts and collateral in respect of derivative instruments.” Although no reconciliation is provided, in a separate note it is disclosed that the company had forward currency contracts that were valued at £92m, an increase of £88m from the previous year. The statements acknowledge both the appointment of new manager Rafa Benitez and the relegation to the second tier of English football under post balance sheet events notes. http://www.cityam.com/247010/consolidation-name-game-mike-ashley-he-see-revenues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
