Football supporters, admittedly myopic, queue up to mock Mike Ashley, & some of his football decisions do look "interesting".

Meanwhile, Dave Whelan over at Wigan seems to be Steady Eddie.

But Sports Direct (run by Ashley) is crushing rival JJB Sports, run by Dave Whelan.

Sports Direct reported absolutely sparking half-year numbers yesterday, whilst JJB Sports admits it will almost certainly fall foul of it's Loan & Banking covenents next year.

How very odd.

Given a choice of investing in Sports Direct or JJB, it's the former every time.



Things are rarely as obvious as they seem to outsiders, & Ashley is nobody's fool.

Dave Whelan has not run JJB for about 4 years or so now Tikay. He sold all his shares after a fallout with the Board  and then went back a couple of years later and purchased all of JJB Fitness gyms from them renaming them DW Sports Fitness. I think he also has some retail stores branded as  DW Sports. 

Most of JJB's problems seem to have occured after Whelan sold up.

Fair comment Scott, that helps to explain JJB's demise - though not the storming success relative to JJB of Ashley's Sports Direct, which really did report terrific figures, despite our World Cup debacle. (Any half-decent run by England would have added tens of millions to the bottom line).

My badly made point is that football supporters hurl abuse at Ashley & serial mock him, but not one of them could run JJB as well as he has. And maybe we ought to give him the benefit of the doubt at NUFC - just because his decisions make no sense to us, does not make them bad decisions necessarily. In truth, we don't know.

Excellent Post, thanks.

pretty sure the fact that he's employed a morally reprehensible man who's done his best to run his last 2 clubs into the ground does make his decision bad. it may work out but it'll be blind luck

whee - I wasn't last!!!

[technolog]

I was going well, in all 4 for quite a while. Then I dropped off a cliff, going out of 3 in the space of 10 minutes. I will say it's a bit tricky to multi-table on there - should I have been using mini-view?

[swinebag22]

Even worse; what about the "Americano"?

"Can I have a black coffee, please?"

"Do you mean an Americano, Sir?"

"Erm, no..I mean a black coffee...WTF is an "Americano"?"

"It's a black coffee, Sir"

"Ah right, well give me that black coffee then please"

I mean if they are going to do the Italian thing then at least do it right

WTF are Paninis

Its "1 Panino for me and two panini for my greedy friend please"

Try going to Costa and asking for 2 Cappucini and see what look you get then


Oh and whilst we are on the subject WTF is Bayern Munich all about

Its Bavaria Munich or Bayern Munchen - choose your language and stick to it please

Just because Mike Ashley knows how to run a clothing store does not mean he is also capable of running a football club,they are obviously very different and he isn't.Some of the decisions he's made in the short time he's been here have been absolutely diabolical and although he may well have a decent business sense as a football Chairman the man is a clown.

Would you ever think it was a good idea to,on a regular basis, completely alienate yourself and make yourself a hate figure to your customer base ? Obviously it's not possible to keep fans happy all of the time,especially us hugely expectant and demanding Geordie's but he seems to go out of his way to create this atmosphere as if he thinks it's a good idea.
