Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

Why is he rescuing all these dying businesses? Nobody is interested in shops like HMV anymore.

Except they are. HMV have made a mistake in having too many DVD’s at £2 and not enough vinyl, games etc. HMV is very much savable if they focus less on DVD’s no one is interested in and focused more on music.

 

Games sales are falling as more people are downloading.

As long as Xbox keep charging £10-£20 more for downloads I and many others will keep buying actual physical copies.

There's no way that can last like. Has to be some weird price locking deal with brick and mortars. No way it's cheaper to create and distribute physical copies of a game as opposed to just putting an image on a CDN.

One lad behind me vociferously opposed the anti Ashley chants yesterday. Something along the lines of f**k him support the lads. Even went as far as saying "They're not singing about Ashley now" and "We're winning" once we'd taken the lead. Yes, i still go. Got my personal reasons, although i'm the least interested i've been in 43 years of going but this stuff was unreal. Distracted me from the game for 10 mins i was so angry. The lad's got form mind. Called me disrespectful for not doing the 17th min applause when i stopped joining in after about 2 seasons. The very same lad stopped 'supporting the lads' when he headed for the concourse 10 mins before HT.

Seen one numpty getting interviewed on  chronicle website, said wasn’t bothered if didn’t sign anyone as may disrupt the team and said “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

 

You can see why SJP is still full.

I dont know what Ashley's end game is for all of his businesses, he seems to thrive on mediocrity, even his flagship Sports Direct is getting overtaken by JD

Just seen this, absolutely no need to apologise. I agree with a lot of what you say and think you are a cracking poster. Was thinking about it last night, the thing is at the moment he enjoys going, he still gets the buzz from the ground and when we get a result or a decent performance like yesterday (very seldom) he leaves the ground buzzing.. As soon that stops or gets bored I'll call it a day.

 

I take him to a few Dunston games and he really enjoys that so maybe a option moving forward.
