AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Dave Kitson wasn't he named as the secret footballer? not sure how correct he was with the rumours on his website or books? I seem to remember a story that it was him and one or two other players, because "The Secret Footballer's" career didn't ever match any single player? I seem to recall he came up with 'The Secret Footballer' pseudonym partly to protect his identity as most people would'nt be remotely interested in what he had to say as he was largely irrelevant in terms of being a highly influential/respected peer of his group. The latter of which would be helpful in terms of shifting books from shelves. Simply a clever way to sell more books due to his lack of notoriety. Kitson always struck me as a complete dick.

NG32 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Mr Ashley said: "The politicians and regulators have proven to be as effective as a chocolate teapot." He also called for the administration process to be reversed. He said it would mean that "a full, better and appropriate solvent solution can be found". And he added: "This solution would include allowing myself and appropriate senior Sports Direct management access to detailed information to save the business for all stakeholders. "The board of Debenhams and its advisers have sought to stifle and exclude us from their so-called process and have undermined and blocked our various offers of assistance as they carried out their underhand plan to steal from shareholders."

Fat Sod. Will the staff at Debenhams have their pensions protected in administration ? I know a few people who work for Debenhams, they're all really scared abou ttheir jobs, understandably, but the reason why Debenhams didn't want him is based on his business ethos. Ie they've looked at the way he treats SD staff, looked at what he's done to us and thought 'We really don't want a bloke like him running (ruining?) our business. Can't blame them but they've been in the shit for a few years. It absolutely serves him right, he's behaving like the spoiled cunt he is. Hope he loses the lot. Nothing he can do to our club could possibly be worse than what he already had done and continues to do for the past decade. It so serve him right. Vengeance is best served cold?

Guest neesy111 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 So it's fine for him to buy other businesses in pre-packed administration but when the foot is on the other side then he's moaning?

I say this all the time but his strategy at the moment seems absolutely mad. Sure he sometimes gets £2m of stock on the cheap, but he’s still going all in on a sector that is falling apart. At least Alan Sugar was clever enough to get out of his shite products and into property etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 It's really wild that he's seemingly this bad as business. Same thing with NUFC, he would have made a huge profit and increased SD's brand tenfold had he simply put modest investments into the squad and infrastructure over the last ten years. He only knows one way to run a business and he's going to do it that way no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 He's upset that many people in his business dealings it was bound to catch up with him, we can only hope that he needs a lot of cash quickly rather than the £50 million a year he currently takes from us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The irony drips like vomit from a power drinker’s fireplace. No direct impact on NUFC from this - this was SD money spent a while ago.
