Minhosa Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 He has other parts of his business in INTU though. Not for long if you read the INTU statement this afternoon . "We have been advised this morning that the four House of Fraser stores in our portfolio will be closing in early 2019, representing around 1% of our secured rent and 526000sq ft of retail space. We have had numerous meetings with Sports Direct including at the highest level to try to agree terms. While we cannot discuss the detail, we have been unable to reach an agreement. We are enthusiastic about the opprtunity to reengineer and re-let this under-performing space to new and exciting alternatives". In other words, on your bike you fat waller.

Stifler Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I said as soon as he bought HOF that he would pull out of the INTU shopping centre’s. The only surprised to me is that it’s took so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yep, hate these links, makes me think there's a 1% chance we might get out of this living hell. We are 5-6 weeks away from the January transfer window. Ask yourself again if he’s close to selling up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I refuse to believe a single bit of this shite until it's announced officially with proof that he is gone. We've seen these stories time and time again man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Fwiw Douglas says he believes Ashley has been to the US recently & that those at the club would likely know nothing, still that small percentage of hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It’s great to see even the most optimistic of supporters call a spade a spade now. He’s here until he decides he’s not. Minimum 3-5 years I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think he'll be here until he dies tbh. Hes mid-50s now so given his obvious poor diet I say 10 to 20 years maybe. Then the club will be passed onto his children or whoever else he passes his businesses on to. I'm not trying to be pessimistic as fuck but why would he sell when he's a businessman focusing on sports retail? He has a club in the most profitable league in world football, possibly world sport that he can use for advertising and brand exposure. Sure we'll face relegations but for a club this size it really isnt much to push us back into the Premier League if it ever happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It’ll happen, circle the bowl like this all the time (or endeavour to) and it will happen. Only needs 2 seasons down there and it would change the complexion of finances entirely - and I don’t necessarily mean that makes him sell just that if he wants to keep banking on bouncing back every time it’ll backfire.

Stifler Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Would the USA allow Ashley in ? They votes in Trump as President. Allow him in?, he’ll probably be given an ambassador role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a combination of "why would he want to sell?" and "why would anyone want to buy at the price he wants with assets stripped, all manner of contracts tying the club into future dealings for SD as per Rangers, a shiite playing squad, no manager soon, decaying outdated facilities, and underqualified/inexperienced/incompetent executives and senior management - aka Ashley's gambling/drinking/business mates - running the club probably tying themselves into nice compensation contracts".
