Ankles Bennett Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 It's clearly a case of bzg expressing an interest and the fat twat encouraging them whilst never intending to sell but using the interest as a cover for letting raga go and not buying any players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZG haven't covered themselves in glory though as someone said earlier. The way they've acted is hard to square with a genuine multi billion dollar organisation. Ah well, if they are legit I'm sure they'll move on and make another club a success. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Ffs Mike. Sell the club! Why would he? Nufc has gone up in value since he joined and ultimately it hasn't cost him a penny as all the money he has put in have been loans which he will get back. It's probably one of his best performing investments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krabbe2 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 By Kate Holton LONDON (Reuters) - British retailer Sports Direct has delayed publishing its annual results, warning problems integrating its purchase of House of Fraser stores and increased scrutiny of its accounts could affect the financial guidance it gave in December. Shares in the company, controlled by Newcastle United soccer club owner Mike Ashley, dropped as much as 7% in early Monday trading. Sports Direct described trading in December as "unbelievably bad". While it did not give an update on its core sporting goods stores on Monday, it referred to complexities in integrating the House of Fraser (HoF) chain it bought last year and "uncertainty as to the future trading performance of this business". "HoF is clearly a disaster area, so this is a serious situation," independent retail analyst Nick Bubb said. Sports Direct's core chain has been a relatively resilient performer in recent years, compared with a string of British retailers that have collapsed in the face of subdued consumer spending and a shift to shopping online. However, the group has also engaged in a raft of dealmaking that has complicated the business. It recently spent time trying - and failing - to buy department stores group Debenhams, after purchasing House of Fraser out of administration last year. On Monday, the company said it also now controlled video gaming retailer Game Digital, "thereby adding to the complexity of the business", according to Bubb. Sports Direct, which is 61% owned by Ashley, said the timing of its results had also been affected by a review by Britain's accounting watchdog of Grant Thornton's audit of the company's results for the year ended April 29, 2018. It said that meant the company had to compile more information than in previous years. "Sports Direct believes its accounts and their audit to be at an advanced stage," it said. The company had planned to publish results for the year ended April 29, 2019, on July 18, but said it now expected to do so between July 26 and Aug. 23. "Sports Direct would note that its core principles in regards to its financial statements are to be conservative, consistent and simple," it said. Ashley had said in December there were significant challenges for House of Fraser, but there was also a "fantastic opportunity" to revive the chain. Hope the snake will have a great need for money in the future so that he may have to sell the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 His strategy for these shops he's buying is mental. Buy House of Fraser, fill it with tat that's completely against it's purpose, turn it around? Makes no sense. He should just sell his Sports Direct shares and retire.

Chris_R Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Because of his early success in one niche industry, he now thinks he's some kind of commercial genius who has discovered a formula that will work anywhere. And no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince him otherwise, because he's thick as pigshit and arrogant as well. He stumbled upon success with SD and ran with it to great effect, but it's not replicable in the wider world and he'll just never see this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
