Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

How will it help SD?

SD have stuff made in China and Asia.

I’d say Addidas are struggling with normal production demand, you will bet that they will be trying to supply their elite customers and their own stores/website first, before they move on to Mike who pays much less and buys their entry level stock. With the Euro’s coming round and new season coming later in the year, football teams/clubs are going to be wanting their supplies ahead of Ashley taking stock for SD, and Ashley wanting the cheap gym stuff.

As if we're preparing to buy people anyway.

 

WE do buy players though, they are seen as potential assets if we can get them at the right age and price. We'll probably sell a couple and reinvest that money in some new players who are contractually suited for a purchase. Maybe before pre-season training starts, Charnley will inform Bruce who his new players are and to think about where they might fit into Bruce's plans.

SD have a pile em high sell em cheap mentality, they were sat on just shy of £1billion of stock at their year end, 169 days worth of stock so they can whether a month or two's disruption. A lot of that will be Lonsdale tat that is a secondary choice for customers and therefore slower moving.

 

If your core stock lines are short then the likelihood of these secondary lines being sold increases - reduce your stock, increase your cash without impacting your margin. Winner Winner

Tad harsh in Odin there, it is widely expected that Coronavirus will dampen the worldwide economy, and disproportionately affect companies who rely on Chinese supply chains.

It is certainly going to dampen annual results for companies like Sports Direct, although at best it would stop Ashley going into negotiations with a very strong hand.

 

At a minimum you’d expect SD annual accounts to refer to Coronavirus or wider global shocks as a mitigating factor.

 

Trying to convince the helicopter anoraks that water is wet is a lesson in futility.

 

I don’t mind taking a bit of stick but when 95% of the people who post on this thread literally contribute nothing other than reposting bullshit from Reddit or Twitter it gets a bit tedious.

"If the leak is from Mike Ashley’s side why would he do this when he repeatedly claims that it is the exact opposite of how he likes to do business? Unless of course there was suspicion about the nature of the bid or a doubt over finances, for example."

 

"I remain firmly of the belief that if you understand Mike Ashley, how he works and his influencers and agree to his terms, in his way and maintain confidence he will sell to anyone, as long as you have the money."

 

 

Fuck right off.

coronavirus is greatly impacting chinese business in/out - but should have no impact on our takeover unless its Chinese money.

 

the global financial crash prob did have an impact on sale of club, that actually is believable.
